Historical evolution of fluorides-
In 1805, Morichini found fluoride in human Enamel.
Fluorine discovered by chemist Scheele in 1771- isolated by
Moissan in 1886
First report of fluoride concentration in drinking water quoted
in ppm given by Hillebrand.
Desirabode in 1847 referred to fluates-(silicate or fluate of
lime and alumine, dried and pulverized)
First reference to prophylactic role of fluoride made by
Erhadt in 1874
Fluoride pills (KF) recommended in England, comes in
pleasant tasting form as “hunter pills”

Historical evolution of fluorides…
In 1901 Dr. Federick Mckay- “Colorodo Stains”
minute white flecks, yellow or brown spots scattered..
In 1902 Dr. J.M. Eager noticed in Italian emigrants -“denti
di chiaie”
1916, Dr. Green supported Mckay work with histologic
evidence “ an endemic imperfection of the enamel of the
tooth
In 1918 Dr. O. E. Martin and Mckay- Britton (1898)
changed water supply from shallow wells to deep drilled
artesian wells….

om
Historical evolution of fluorides…
in 1933, Dr. H. Trendley Dean- conducted “Shoe Leather
Survey” in 97 localities, with a aim to find out minimal
threshold level….
In 1939 came out with ‘domestic water is primary cause of
human mottled enamel ( dental fluorosis)’
In the same year- hypothesis showing ‘inverse relationship
between endemic fluorosis and dental caries’

Definitions:-
‘Water fluoridation is defined as controlled adjustment of
the concentration of fluoride in a communal water supply
so as to maximum caries reduction and a clinically
insignificant level of fluorosis.’
Defined as’ upward adjustment of the concentration of
fluoride ion in a public water supply in such way that the
concentration of fluoride in the water may be consistently
maintained at 1 ppm by weight to prevent dental caries

Excretion of fluoride 3 main avenues are urine, feces and perspiration Via kidneys:- 40 t0 50% of single dose excreted in urine during 24 hours Factors influencing are Previous exposure to fluoride Age Urinary flow Urine PH Kidney status Glomerular filtration –tubular reabsorption in the form of HF-greater the acidic urinewww.indiandentalacademy.c om
  • 35. Excretion of fluoride… PH - < 5.6: Excreted fraction of filtered fluoride <5% Reobsorbtion-95% Above 5.6: increased fraction of F excretion In acute poisoning: increased PH urine alkalizing agents enhance the elimination of F www.indiandentalacademy.c om
  • 36. Excretion of fluoride… Via the Gut:- Undissolved and not absorbed excreted unchanged in feces 10% of total fluoride intake is excreted in feces Via sweat:- Varying proportions of absorbed fluoride may lost from the body in perspiration Under normal conditions of F intake-concentration of Fin sweating range of 0.07 to 0.5ppmwww.indiandentalacademy.c om
