Anabolic action, Genotoxicity and Carcinogenicity of Fluoride Review of Literature
Journal Title: Oral Health and Dentistry - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Organic and inorganic compounds containing the element fluorine are called fluorides. Fluorides are usually released to the air from volcanoes and industry then carried by the wind and rain to nearby water, soil and food sources. Its compounds often have properties that range from potent toxins such as sarin to life saving pharmaceutical such as efavirenz and from refractory materials such as calcium fluoride to the highly reactive sulfur tetrafluoride. This literature review may bring data forward for education in this aspect to prevent water fluoridation and to support defluoridation in the areas where the level of fluoride in public drinking is higher than the normal limits of 0.6-0.7 ppm for hot climate countries and 1.2 ppm for cool climate countries as recommended by WHO.
