A Case of Fluorosis: Fluoride-Induced Osteopetrosis.

July 19, 2021 | Cureus | Almakadma AH, Almustanyir S, Aldalbahi H, Sherbeeni SM, AlHuzaim A. |
Introduction Case Presentation Discussion Conclusions Adult variants of osteopetrosis and fluorosis have similar symptoms and radiological findings including an increased bone mineral density. However, the underlying pathophysiology of increased bone density distinguishes osteopetrosis from fluorosis. Osteopetrosis is characterized by decreased bone resorption in contrast to fluorosis which is characterized by increased bone formation. Fluorosis can result in reversible muscu

The Hydrogeochemical Atlas of Sri Lanka

... One of the major objectives of our research group is the production of geochemical maps showing the distribution of elements or important chemical species in the surface and groundwater of Sri Lanka. A geochemical data bank is now being prepared with the assistance of the Water Supply and Drainage Board and the Water Resources Board of Sri Lanka. For example, in a preliminary survey carried out on the relationship between fluoride ions in drinking water and the incidence of dental diseases,
