“…The prevalence of periodontitis was low in the present study, with about 20 % of subjects having localised chronic periodontitis and the only 7 % of patients had generalised chronic periodontitis. our findings are similar to the study done by Kumar et al with an overall lesser prevalence (12.3%) of periodontitis in dental fluorosis patients (Haikel et al, 1989;Kumar et al, 2007;vandana et al, 2007;Kumar et al, 2007;vandana and Sesha reddy, 2007;Chopra et al 2016;Pritma et al 2020).…”

“…Murray et al found gingivitis to be more prevalent in high-fluoride areas despite good oral hygiene. (Murray et al, 1972;Drummond, 1993;(Grembowski et al, 1993;Kumar et al, 2007;vandana et al, 2007;Chopra et al 2016;Pritma et al 2020).…”

“…The effects of fluoride on periodontal tissues have also been controversial, Studies to assess the periodontal status in fluorosis subjects have been done in few parts of the country. vandhana et al conducted a study at high fluoride belts of Davangere District, Karnataka State, india, they showed a strong association between periodontal diseases with high fluoride water in a population of 15-74 years (Massler et al 1951;Drummond et al, 1993;Grembowski et al, 1993;Bergstrom, 2003;vandana et al, 2007;Molina-Frechero et al, 2012;Chopra et al 2016;Pritma et al 2020).…”

Dental fluorosis is a defect caused in the enamel of the tooth structure due to more fluoride intake during the developmental stages of teeth. The effect of fluoride on the periodontal tissues remains obscure. Thus, the aim of the study was to retrospectively assess the periodontal status of patients with dental fluorosis who had reported to a private dental hospital. A total of 378 patients who had dental fluorosis were included in the study. Periodontal status, Dean's fluorosis index, oral hygiene index values for all the patients were recorded. The required data was collected and SPSS Software was used to assess the data. Among the study population, 71% of them were males and 29% of them were females. According to the Deans fluorosis index, among the study population, a total of 1.6% of subjects had a score of questionable, 21% of subjects had very mild, 37% of subjects has mild fluorosis, 31% had moderate and around 9% of the patients had severe form of fluorosis. There was no statistically significant association seen between age and the degree of dental fluorosis (p value 0.602). The association between Dean's fluorosis index and periodontal status was found to be statistically not significant. (p value-0.300). The severity of dental fluorosis was more in the gingivitis patients than periodontitis patients, however the results were not statistically significant. Within the limitations of the present retrospective analysis, a possible relationship exists between periodontal disease and degree of dental fluorosis with a male prevalence for dental fluorosis. A mild to moderate degree of dental fluorosis was seen in the majority of the study subjects. The severity of dental fluorosis was more in the gingivitis patients than periodontitis patients, however the results were not statistically significant.

“…[ (Idon and Enabulele, 2018)] The present study showed that fluorosis is more prevalent among males compared to females, which is similar to a study done by Mane The periodontal disease was more severe among patients with severe fluorosis and most of the patients exhibited healthy gingiva among mild and very mild fluorosis categories. Similar to a study done by Chopra A et al, as the degree of fluorosis increases the severity of periodontitis increases [ (Chopra et al, 2016)]. This could be explained by the fact that increased fluoride intoxication results in a toxic effect on resorption of cementocytes.…”

Fluoride (F) is known to be one of the various chemicals that have proven to leave substantial effects to the human body especially through our drinking water. This chemical can be described as a double edged sword since in its deficiency, it enables the formation of dental caries while in excess, it can result in both dental and skeletal fluorosis. The aim of this study was to analyse both the dental caries and periodontal status in dental fluorosis patients. A total of 182 patients who were diagnosed with dental fluorosis was evaluated. Their age, gender, DMFT index and periodontal status was obtained from the patient records from the institution between June 2019 to March 2020. Results were analysed and compared using the SPSS Statistical Software by doing both the frequency tests and correlation tests (Chi-square test). In this study, we observed that there is negative association between dental caries (p=0.70) and the periodontal status (p=0.20) with dental fluorosis. Within the limits of the study, there is no significant association between the severity of dental caries and periodontal status with dental fluorosis. However, dental fluorosis is at a higher prevalence in males and at an age group of 21-25 years old.
