Abstract
Dental fluorosis is a common disease that causes tooth enamel to malfunction due to increased fluoride intake during tooth formation. The etiology of fluorosis is related to several factors, the most common of which are: drinking water, dental products and food. In addition to the importance of fluoride concentration in any of these sources, individual factors such as: lifestyle, gender, eating habits, oral hygiene habits are also of great importance. However, of all these sources, humans are the most exposed to fluoride in drinking water. Also, fluoride is ingested by consuming milk, salt or fluoride-based tablets. Clinically, depending on the severity of the disease, for which the degree is determined, there are several classifications, dental fluorosis is manifested by the appearance of turbidity of the enamel, hypomineralization, the appearance of chalky white spots, which in severe cases of dental fluorosis may have light brown, dark brown to black color. Also, because the tooth has a high degree of porosity, in more severe cases of dental fluorosis, pits may appear on the enamel surface.
