Abstract
The fluoride content of drinking water is directly correlated with the serum and saliva fluoride. Serum fluoride levels are also directly related to those of saliva, but not to urinary fluoride.
These interrelations are so close that a mathematical formula can be devised for the calculation of fluoride in body fluids. For instance, a sample of saliva may serve for the quantification of serum fluoride. Whereas these interrelations are observed in general population groups they do not always apply to individuals.

Biomarkers for the Assessment of Fluoride Exposure in Children.
Due to practical difficulties in quantifying fluoride exposure, the ability of various biomarkers to predict exposure has been investigated previously. However, the results are inadequate for validation of their application and usefulness. This study aimed to investigate the association between contemporary/recent biomarkers of fluoride exposure and total daily fluoride intake

High prevalence of dental fluorosis among schoolchildren in three villages in Vavuniya District: an observational study.
Background: Studies of groundwater sources in Sri Lanka show that in the entire Northern, North Central, Uva and Eastern Provinces, and also in a large area of the North Western Province, groundwater fluoride content is within the range 1.0 mg/l and 3.0 mg/l. The WHO recommended safe upper limit of

Safety of ciprofloxacin therapy in children: magnetic resonance images, body fluid levels of fluoride and linear growth.
We evaluated the safety of ciprofloxacin administered in a dose of 15–25 mg/kg for 9–16 days, in a case series of 58 children who were between 8 months and 13 years of age. No arthropathy was observed during therapy and follow–up. Blinded evaluation of 22 pairs of nuclear magnetic resonance

[Relationship between fluoride exposure, orthopedic injuries and bone formation markers in patients with coal-burning fluorosis].
Chronic exposure to fluoride is a public health problem worldwide. We explored the relationship between fluoride exposure, orthopedic injuries and bone formation markers alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone Gla protein (BGP) in participants with coal-burning fluorosis in Hehua Village (coal-burning fluorosis endemic area) in Zhijin County of Guizhou Province and Zhangguan

Fluoride in whole saliva, parotid ductal saliva and plasma in children
The purpose was to investigate the relation between fluoride concentrations in whole saliva, parotid ductal saliva, and plasma in 5- to 10-year-old children (n = 17). Two stimulated whole-saliva samples were obtained from each child. Before the second sample was obtained, each child rinsed several times with a total of
