Clinical and statistical research, conducted in collaboration with other workers in some instances, into the behaviour of dental decay and the morbidity and mortality indices in populations with dental fluorosis due to the ingestion of naturally fluorinated water in Calabria and Sicily showed that the fears expressed with respect to the toxic effect of fluorine on the organism can be considered excessive. It can also be asserted that fluorine is at present the only means available of ensuring a real reduction caries following its ingestion via various routes.
在某些情况下与其他工作人员合作进行的临床和统计研究，针对卡拉布里亚和西西里岛因饮用天然含氟水而患氟斑牙人群的龋齿行为以及发病率和死亡率指数展开调查，结果表明，对于氟对机体毒性作用所表达的担忧可被视为过度。还可以断言，目前氟是通过各种途径摄入后确保真正降低龋齿率的唯一可用手段。
