“…The majority of the participants was aware of the fact that water contains fluoride and had some knowledge about fluorosis. 25 The respondents agree about stopping the use of topical fluoride will not affect the dental fluorosis. Since the topical fluoride can cause dental fluorosis for the teeth which give us a hint that most of the students do not have adequate information regarding fluorosis.…”

Background: Fluoride protects the teeth from dental caries using the needed amount of fluoride products.Methods: A Modified structured questionnaire has been validated through a pilot trial (20 responses) prior to administration that contains16 questions was distributed. Other than the demographics, the data were collected from 500 participants including undergraduate male and female dental students.Results: The majority described the mild fluorosis appearance in the teeth according to Dean’s index appropriately as white opacity of the enamel (64%, n=320). On the other hand, only 31.1% (n=155) and 46% (n=229) described the moderate and severe fluorosis appearance in the teeth according to Dean’s index appropriately.Conclusions: The dissemination and education about dental fluorosis is urgently needed and should be tailored to reach this population. The knowledge about causes of fluoride and the effect on dental fluorosis should be presented in the education.

“…Rarely are the primary dentition and lower incisors affected. [7] The differential diagnosis between fluorosis and non-fluoride-induced opacities needs to establish differences between symmetrical and asymmetrical and/or discrete patterns of opaque defects. These criteria imply that all symmetrically distributed and non-discrete opaque conditions of enamel are fluorosis.…”

ABSTRACT"Dental fluorosis," a specific disturbance in tooth formation and an esthetic condition, is defined as a chronic, fluorideinduced condition, in which enamel development is disrupted and the enamel is hypomineralized. Fluorosis can be prevented by having an adequate knowledge of the fluoride sources, knowing how to manage this issue and therefore, avoid overexposure. Controlling the fluoride intake is the best preventive measure for dental fluorosis, however when this is already installed and causing esthetic problems to the patient, many treatment techniques are recommended. This article describes an esthetic rehabilitation of a case of severe fluorosis using a new system for placing direct composite veneer, the Uveneer System (Ultradent) which simulates predictable shape and symmetry of natural teeth. In cases of severe dental fluorosis, the tooth enamel usually becomes porous and tooth whitening methods are not recommended. Therefore, minimally invasive technique of direct composite veneering using facial templates is the treatment of choice as it is easy to use, enhance clinical productivity, saves time, requires minimal preparation and is cost effective.

Purely , fluorosis of teeth is state in which incorporation high fluoride percent in the forming of tooth enamel 2 .…”
