Presentation
Comparisons between the present study and other studies should be careful. One should remember that the conditions of examination of the present study were exceptional. [scielo.br]
For current drinking water interval data the odds ratio for the presentation of aesthetically significant fluorosis was 4.02 (p All of the remaining explanatory variables demonstrated no significant association with the presentation of fluorosis. [bmcoralhealth.biomedcentral.com]
When viewed under LM, teeth with questionable and very mild fluorosis did not present significant alterations histologically. [ijdr.in]
However, the opposing tooth in dental fluorosis requiring restoration likely presents mild dental fluorosis. [nanoscalereslett.springeropen.com]
"severe", and eliminate each score until he or she arrives at the condition present. If there is any doubt, the lower score should be given. [mah.se]

High Fever
There are some other conditions which may mimic fluorosis including craniofacial and developmental defects, repeated high fevers as an infant which affects developing teeth, and physical trauma. [microcopydental.com]
In addition, high fevers or trauma (such as a fall that injures a tooth) in infants or young children may discolor teeth. Young children can get cavities in their primary teeth, so any tooth discoloration should be checked at the dental office. [colgate.com]

In contrast, resin composite laminate veneers suffer from a number of disadvantages: Marginal staining, material loss, and gingival irritation. [saudijos.org]

Neglect
All observers, except the dentists, felt that the more severe fluorosis indicated neglect on the part of the child. (13) Egyptian researchers observed that friends and relatives ridicule the patient by inferring that these stains are associated with smoking [nofluoride.com]

Renal Insufficiency
Governing factors include: the child's genetic makeup and health status (malnutrition and renal insufficiency are known risk factors). [animated-teeth.com]
Treatment
Combination Treatments In order to achieve the most successful treatment for dental fluorosis, you may have the option to utilize treatments in conjunction with each other. Your smile is unique, so its treatment will need to be unique as well. [ashevillefamilydentist.com]
Treatment: The damage that dental fluorosis causes to the teeth enamel is permanent and not reversible. Dental fluorosis treatment is targeting in hiding the discoloration of the teeth. Treatment options depend on the severity of dental fluorosis. [medigoo.com]
no treatment is required. [dentalcare.com]
To learn about fluorosis, you can always contact the Durham NC dentist What are some treatment methods? Fluorosis usually is very mild and doesn’t require any treatment. [dentistindurham.co]
More often than not, any cosmetic treatment will be postponed until the child is between 16-18 years of age when they are more mature, and treatments such as orthodontics are complete. [microcopydental.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis Teeth affected by fluorosis are not diseased. Fluorosis will not result in cavities or other dental problems. [colgate.com]
Thus, prognosis of resin composite appears not to be good. However, the introduction of the modern bonding systems and fiber-reinforced resin composites may result in resin composite veneers with better prognosis. [saudijos.org]
Etiology
The etiology is attributed to the early exposure to high concentrations of fluoride ingested from drinking water. Various treatment options addressing the patient's presenting complaint were discussed with the patient and her husband. [jresdent.org]
Descriptive indices There are a few notable among the descriptive indices that have been suggested for measuring dental fluorosis. [32], [33], [34] According to these descriptive indices, no diagnosis of enamel defect should be made on the basis of presumed etiology [saudijos.org]

Prevention
[…] to prevent disease. [listerineprofessional.com]
Prevention of dental fluorosis is mainly preventing the chronic ingestion of high amount of fluorides during the teeth forming years. [factdr.com]
For this reason, community water fluoridation levels are set to a level where the community will benefit substantially for prevention of cavities, but risk of dental fluorosis is kept low. [dentistry.uiowa.edu]
