[T]he elastic modulus measured in cortical bone using the BDI and the Oliver-Parr method decreased significantly after NaF [sodium fluoride] treatment, compared to control measurements prior to NaF treatment . . . . The general finding of the previous papers was that NaF reduces cortical-bone strength and elastic modulus, which is in well agreement with the results presented here.
