Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to: (i) provide timely data on dental caries and periodontal conditions in rural Burkina Faso; (ii) identify the oral health practices carried out in this population, and (iii) to prioritize evidence-based interventions at the community level. Methods: Leaning on WHO recommendations for oral health epidemiological studies, clinical […]
Highlights MgO porous nanoplates modified pumice is developed through a facile method. The loading amount of the MgO porous nanoplates can be conveniently adjust. The adsorption capacity for fluoride is larger than 37.9 mg/g. The MgO@pumice can efficiently removal fluoride at a wide pH range of 2–10. The column test showed that 324 bed volumes […]
Iowa Capitol Digest for July 1, 2021 Note from Fluoride Action Network: This law is being passed throughout the country. The law’s intent is to allow time to persuade the community, by pro-fluoridation health departments and state dental groups, to change its mind. New York state passed a similar law in 2015. (EC) NEW FLUORIDATION […]

Excerpts The National Toxicology Program (NTP) plans to release its long-awaited review of fluoride’s potential neurotoxic effects this fall, but also plans to publish additional information, such as a dose-response analysis, later, setting an uncertain timeline for a TSCA suit seeking to ban drinking water fluoridation that is on hold pending NTP’s findings. “NTP is […]
Highlights 51% of mine water samples exceed the Chinese drinking water limit for fluoride (1 mg/L). The overall mine water quality is influenced by cation exchange, dissolution of minerals and so on. NaHCO3 type mine water possesses the highest average fluoride concentration. Fluoride concentrations are overall proportional to higher pH, TDS, and EC levels. Fluoride […]
Abstract: Introduction Local authorities in the North East of England plan to conduct a public consultation on community water fluoridation. Monitoring public opinion is an important consideration. Aims To measure public attitudes in five areas in the North East of England, to determine respondents’ sources of information and their awareness of the current fluoridation status […]
Abstract Background: Knowledge of conditions influencing the performance of street-level operators when implementing population-based policies could increase the understanding of local implementation dynamics. Objective: We analyzed how street-level operators claim to act to implement fluoridation policy in the water treatment units of small Brazilian municipalities and identified conditions shaping behavior against adherence to policy. Methods: […]
