Teeth With Mild and Moderate Enamel Fluorosis Demonstrate Increased Caries Susceptibility In Vitro. 2017

E Angeles Martinez-Mier, and Frank Lippert

Higher fluorosis severity makes enamel less resistant to demineralization. Marín LM, Cury JA, Tenuta LMA, Castellanos JE, Martignon S. Caries Res 2016; 50:407-13. Government: COLCIENCIAS (grant No. 2012-442) and foundations: FUNCAMP (Conv 4252) TYPE OF STUDY/DESIGN: In vitro study.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009050 Fluorosis, Dental A chronic endemic form of ENAMEL HYPOMINERALIZATION caused by drinking water with a high fluorine content during the time of tooth formation, and characterized by defective calcification that gives a white chalky appearance to the enamel, which gradually undergoes brown discoloration. (Jablonski's Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p286) Dental Fluorosis,Mottled Enamel,Mottled Teeth,Dental Fluoroses,Fluoroses, Dental,Enamel, Mottled,Mottled Enamels,Teeth, Mottled
D003733 Dental Caries Susceptibility The predisposition to tooth decay (DENTAL CARIES). Dental Caries Resistance,Caries Resistance, Dental,Caries Susceptibility, Dental,Resistance, Dental Caries,Susceptibility, Dental Caries
D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p286) Enamel,Enamel Cuticle,Dental Enamels,Enamel, Dental,Enamels, Dental,Cuticle, Enamel,Cuticles, Enamel,Enamel Cuticles,Enamels
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D017001 Tooth Demineralization A tooth's loss of minerals, such as calcium in hydroxyapatite from the tooth matrix, caused by acidic exposure. An example of the occurrence of demineralization is in the formation of dental caries. Demineralization, Tooth
