Abstract
A study was carried out amongst 2 groups of schoolchildren, one of which lived in an area of endemic fluorosis. All of the latter group had dental fluorosis, 87% having severe cases. Clinical details are given of 2 cases of 119 who showed skeletal changes on radiological examination. A study of secondary ossification centers did not reveal any differences in growth in the 2 groups examined.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
