Oro-dental health in children with chronic renal failure and after renal transplantation: a clinical review

Enamel hypoplasia   The pathogenesis of this is that severe metabolic upset causes a permanent mark, called enamel hypoplasia, in the developing tooth which remains as a visible defect on the tooth throughout the life of the patient. The position and extent of the defect indicates the timing, duration and to some extent the severity of the underlying metabolic upset. Enamel hypoplasia is frequently seen in patients with renal disease, and has been attributed to the production of poorly-fo

The effective use of fluorides in public health.

Case study 2 Salt fluoridation in Jamaica Salt fluoridation was introduced into Jamaica (population, 2.5 million) in 1987; all salt for human consumption is fluoridated (30). Fluoride toothpastes had been available in the country since 1972, and while their use may have had a protective effect (32), the notable decline in the prevalence of dental caries after 1984 may be considered to be primarily attributable to the introduction of fluoridated salt (27). In 1984, a survey of oral health ca
