Fluorosis varied treatment options

I Anand Sherwood. J Conserv Dent. 2010 Jan.

Abstract

Fluorosis has been reported way back in 1901. The treatment options for fluorosis are varied depending upon individual cases. This article comes from Madurai in India where its surrounding towns are fluorosis-prone zones. The purpose of this article is to report various treatment options available for dental fluorosis; this is the first time that complete full mouth rehabilitation for dental fluorosis is being reported. This article also dwells on the need for the dentists to be aware of their local indigenous pathologies to treat it in a better manner.

Keywords: Dental fluorosis; endemic fluorosis areas; fluorosis; treatment options for fluorosis.
