Dental fluorosis: not only an aesthetic problem
Keywords:
Dental fluorosis, fluorineAbstract
While the stomatological profession states that dental fluorosis is only an aestheticproblem and not a health effect, this declaration is an assumption and not a fact.
Certainly, dental fluorosis represents a toxic effect in the tooth cells, but it is asked
if the tooth cells are the only body cells impacted by this effect. Motivated by this
controversial topic, a bibliographic review was made aimed mainly at going deep
into the theoretical knowledge and the clinical characteristics of this affection that
may manifest in a local or general way, and into the consequences of the inadequate use of fluor in the human organism. It was concluded that fluorosis is a
disease that not only affects the dental structures and that it can not only be
defined by the stomatologists due to the dental affections it may produce, since in
many occasions it is the first sign that the person has been exposed to elevated
levels of fluorine
