“…The condition was related to high levels of fluoride ingestion during the period of amelogenesis, called DF, only 30 years after the first reports [Churchill, 1931]. Enamel with DF presents lower hardness and elastic modulus due to hypomineralization and is less resistant to wear and fracture [Li et al, 2021]. Clinically, mild DF appears as white lines in isolated areas.…”

A high number of citations can indicate the potential of any specific paper to influence other research and generate changes in clinical practice. Analyzing the most-cited papers in a certain scientific field may assist researchers to identify the influential papers as well their main characteristics. The present study aimed to analyze the 100 most-cited papers concerning dental fluorosis (DF) through a bibliometric review. A search was performed in the Web of Science Core Collection database (WoS-CC) in November 2021. The papers were displayed in descending order according to the number of citations in WoS-CC. Two independent researchers performed the selection. Scopus and Google Scholar were used to compare the number of citations with WoS-CC. The following data were extracted from the papers: title, authors, number and density of citations, institution, country, continent, year of publication, journal title, keywords, study design, and theme. Collaborative networks were generated using the VOSviewer software. The top 100 most-cited papers were published between 1974 and 2014 and were cited 6,717 times (ranging from 35 to 417). Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology (24%), Journal of Dental Research (21%), Journal of Public Health Dentistry (17%), and Caries Research (13%) published the most papers. Observational studies (60%) and literature reviews (19%) were the most common study designs. The main topics were epidemiology (44%) and fluoride intake (32%). The countries with the highest number of papers were the United States of America (USA) (44%), Canada (10%), and Brazil (9%). The University of Iowa (USA) had the most papers (12%). Levy SM was the author with the highest number of papers (12%). The 100 most-cited papers on DF were mainly observational studies focused on epidemiology and originated in North America. There were few interventional studies and systematic reviews among the most-cited papers concerning this topic.

“…The analysis showed a higher fluoride content in the enamel of fluorotic human teeth than in healthy teeth enamel. The findings of studies conducted by other authors suggest a link between the presence of clinical symptoms of fluorosis and increased fluoride content in enamel, which in the case of erupted teeth, accumulate predominantly in the outer third of the enamel, reaching its highest values on its surface [ 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 ]…”

There is currently no consensus among researchers on the optimal level of fluoride for human growth and health. As drinking water is not the sole source of fluoride for humans, and fluoride can be found in many food sources, this work aimed to determine the incidence and severity of dental fluorosis in Poland, in areas where a low fluoride content characterizes the drinking water, and to assess the impact of fluoride on the enamel composition and microstructure. The dental examination involved 696 patients (aged 15–25 years) who had since birth lived in areas where the fluoride concentration in drinking water did not exceed 0.25 mg/L. The severity of the condition was evaluated using the Dean’s Index. Both healthy teeth and teeth with varying degrees of fluorosis underwent laboratory tests designed to assess the total protein and fluoride content of the enamel. Protein amount was assessed spectrophotometrically while the level of fluoride ions was measured by DX-120 ion chromatography. The clinical study revealed 89 cases (12.8%) of dental fluorosis of varying severity. The enamel of teeth with mild and moderate fluorosis contained a significantly higher protein (p-value < 0.001 and 0.002, respectively) and fluoride level (p < 0.001) than those with no clinical signs of fluorosis. SEM images showed irregularities in the structure of the fluorotic enamel. An excessive fluoride level during amelogenesis leads to adverse changes in the chemical composition of tooth enamel and its structure. Moreover, dental fluorosis present in areas where drinking water is low in fluorides indicates a need to monitor the supply of fluoride from other possible sources, regardless of its content in the water.

Najczęściej wykorzystywanymi metodami leczniczymi są wybielanie zębów, mikrodermabrazja, infiltracja żywicą, uzupełnienia kompozytowe, licówki lub korony protetyczne [2,5,6,[9][10][11][12]20,23].

Introduction: Dental fluorosis is a disease caused by excessive consumption of fluoride and its deposition in the enamel during odontogenesis. The result of this process is the appearance on the surface of permanent teeth of unsightly stains of various colors depending on the intensity of damage to the enamel. Deterioration of dental aesthetics can significantly affect the quality of life of patients affected by dental fluorosis.Aim of the study: The purpose of this study is to present contemporary knowledge on the cause, diagnosis and treatment of dental fluorosis.Materials and methods: Medical databases of the National Center for Biotechnology Information/PubMed and Google Scholar were analyzed by typing the following keywords: dental fluorosis, fluoride poisoning, amelogenesis, enamel. When analyzing the literature, data from 25 scientific articles from the last five years (2017-2022) were used.Results: In most of the articles, the authors emphasize the significant association between consumption of fluoridated water and fluorosis of permanent teeth. The literature is unanimous regarding the choice of minimally invasive treatment procedures when dental fluorosis needs to be treated.Conclusions: Dental fluorosis is a significant aesthetic and functional problem among affected children. Education about the etiology of dental fluorosis and ways to avoid it should be constantly disseminated among children's caregivers. Patients affected by this problem should be under the constant care of a dentist.
