Abstract
The study contains the results of fluoride testing done on 31 fetal specimens. It demonstrates that fluoride can pass through the placenta into the fetus, that bone tissues shows the highest levels of fluoride while brain tissue shows the lowest, and that overall level of fluoride increases with the fluoride burden of the mother and the age of the fetus.

Enamel uptake and patient exposure to fluoride: comparison of APF gel and foam
This crossover study with 46 child dental patients compared two topical APF products, a gel and a foam, with respect to the amounts of product and fluoride (F) applied, salivary F concentrations, and enamel F uptake. Half the subjects were treated for 4 min with the gel first and the

Developmental toxicity of sodium fluoride in rats.
Despite the chronic exposure of the US population to fluoridated drinking water since the 1940s, existing studies have been judged inadequate to determine any potential reproductive or developmental hazard. This study was conducted to determine the effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) on foetal development. Sperm-positive female rats were given 0,

Fluoride absorption: independence from plasma fluoride levels
The concept that there are physiologic mechanisms to homeostatically regulate plasma fluoride concentrations has been supported by results in the literature suggesting an inverse relationship between plasma fluoride levels and the absorption of the ion from the gastrointestinal tract of the rat. The validity of the relationship was questioned because

Correlation of fluoride in drinking water with urine, blood plasma, and serum fluoride levels of people consuming high and low fluoride drinking water in Pakistan
A case-controlled study has compared urinary, blood plasma, and serum fluoride (F) levels of people living in endemic areas of the Thar Desert, Sindh, Pakistan, consuming groundwater with F concentrations as high as 4.00–10.00 mg/L with those consuming groundwater with low F levels of 0.30 mg/L. A total of 121

[Comparison of the therapeutic effect on skeletal fluorosis and impact on urine fluoride value among fire needle therapy, electroacupuncture and calcium carbonate D3].
OBJECTIVE: To observe the impacts on skeletal fluorosis pain, joint motor dysfunction and urine fluoride excretion in the treatment with fire needle therapy, electroacupuncture and calcium carbonate D3. METHODS: The randomized controlled trial was adopted. Ninety-five patients were randomized into a fire needle group (31 cases), an electroacupuncture group (33 cases) and a
