Relationship between fluoride concentration in enamel, DMFT index, and degree of fluorosis in a community residing in an area with a high level of fluoride

J. I. Bischoff, E. H. van der Merwe, D. H. Retief, F. H. Barbakow and P. E. Cleaton-Jones

The object of the present study was an attempt to relate fluoride concentration in enamel, caries experience, and the degree of fluorosis in a community residing in an area with a high level of fluoride. A significant difference was found between the male and female samples for the F and D parameters. A positive correlation was established for the male participants between DEGF and F, and a negative correlation between age and F. These correlations were not found for the female participants. Because of the low and narrow range of DMFT indexes, no correlation involving this parameter could be established.
