skeletal fluorosis

As of now, there are no established treatments for skeletal fluorosis patients.

In some areas, particularly the Asian subcontinent, skeletal fluorosis is endemic.

Skeletal fluorosis is a bone disease caused by excessive consumption of fluoride.

In advanced cases, skeletal fluorosis causes pain and damage to bones and joints.

Too much fluoride results in dental fluorosis and/or skeletal fluorosis.

Young rats have shown to be more susceptible to skeletal Fluorosis, because their bones react faster with the fluorine.

In addition, over 1 million cases of skeletal fluorosis (weakening of bones) are thought to be attributable to drinking water.

Consumption of fluoride at levels beyond those used in fluoridated water for a long period of time causes skeletal fluorosis.

Skeletal fluorosis can be caused by cryolite (Na3AlF6, sodium hexafluoroaluminate).

The best way to view the mechanism of action by which fluorine breaks down bones and causes skeletal fluorosis is in a step-wise fashion.

The World Health Organization recently estimated that 2.7 million people in China have the crippling form of skeletal fluorosis.

Chronic excess fluoride consumption can lead to skeletal fluorosis, a disease of the bones that affects millions in Asia and Africa.

Most patients suffering from skeletal fluorosis show side effects from the high fluorine dose such as ruptures of the stomach lining and nausea.

Based on human study, tamarind intake may delay the progression of skeletal fluorosis by enhancing excretion of fluoride.

The practice of water fluoridation has blighted the health of the Irish people with conditions like skeletal fluorosis: fluoride seeks calcium, especially the bones.

Excessive amounts of fluoride in drinking water can lead to dental fluorosis, prevalent bone fractures, and skeletal fluorosis, an irreversible disabling condition.

Chronic intake and topical exposure may cause dental fluorosis, and excess systematic exposure can lead to systemic effects such as skeletal fluorosis.

Fluoride can occur naturally in water in concentrations well above recommended levels, which can have several long-term adverse effects, including severe dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, and weakened bones.

Around 80% of sheep, 50% of cattle and 50% of horses died because of dental and skeletal fluorosis from the 8 million tons of hydrogen fluoride that were released.

The first cases of endemic skeletal fluorosis (and its neurological signs) in the world were recorded in the Podili, Darsi and Kanigiri areas of Andhra Pradesh in 1937.

The WHO set a general guideline of 1.5 mg/L concentration of fluoride in drinking water to avoid adverse effects of higher concentrations including severe dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis, as these effects were minimal at this concentration or lower.
