Fluorosis is one of the global problems that have persisted for a very long time now without any specific treatment and cure. Fluoride is known for its influence on the tooth structures like enamel and dentin, but little information exists on its effect on the surrounding periodontal structures and bone. With this background, we conducted multiple studies assessing etiological, diagnostic, therapeutic and clinical criteria in subjects with and without dental fluorosis in a single group of the population residing in high fluoride water areas (1.5-3.0 ppm) of Davangere District, Karnataka, India. These preliminary studies conducted are hereby elaborately presented and discussed in this comprehensive review article along with their important conclusions.
氟中毒是一个全球性的问题，长期以来一直没有特定的治疗方法。氟化物对牙釉质和牙本质等牙齿结构的影响是众所周知的，但关于其对周围牙周结构和骨骼的影响的信息却很少。有鉴于此，我们在印度卡纳塔克邦达文格地区（1.5-3.0ppm）高氟水区居住的人群中，对一组单一人群中的有和没有氟中毒的个体进行了多项研究，评估病因、诊断、治疗和临床标准。本综述文章详细介绍和讨论了这些初步研究及其重要结论。
