Recovery from skeletal fluorosis

2007 | Journal of Bone and Mineral Research | Cundy T. | 22(9):1475
Kurland et al.(1) reported a fascinating case of skeletal fluorosis in a man who probably ingested significant quantities of fluoride from toothpaste. They report that after withdrawal of fluoride, there was a short initial period of rapid bone loss, followed by a prolonged period of slow BMD loss from the lumbar spine—such that the Z-score was still +9 some 8 yr later. A patient with skeletal fluorosis has attended my clinic for a similar period. At the age of 53 yr, after having sustained

Fluoride studies in a patient with arthritis

October 9, 1971 | The Lancet | Cook HA. | 298(7728):817.
SIR, A high intake of fluoride (F-) is known to cause severe skeletal fluorosis, but the actual fluoride intake required to produce fluorosis is unknown. I have shown that tea-drinking in Britain causes a high intake in both children and adults, maximum intakes in children surveyed reaching nearly 6 mg daily in unfluoridated areas and nearly 7 mg daily in fluoridated areas. (1) It is possible that fluoride intake from tea may be sufficient to cause fluorosis, and I report here a case which gives

Skeletal fluorosis mimicking seronegative spondyloarthropathy: a deceptive presentation

October 2011 | Tropical Doctor | Kumar S, Kakar A, Gogia A, Byotra SP. | 41:247-48.
Case history A 40-year-old man presented with a history of continuous pain in his back for one year and knee and elbow joints for nine months.
