Adsorption on activated carbon is one of the most commonly used methods for removing excess amounts of fluoride from water. This research has tested the parameters of fluoride adsorption on four commercial activated carbons modified with nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The adsorption properties included the initial fluoride concentrations (2–40 ...

Glioblastoma remains one of the most treatment-resistant and malignant human cancers. Given the documented harmful effects of fluoride on the developing central nervous system and the rising incidence of brain tumors, especially among children, it is pertinent to explore the role of environmental toxins, including fluoride compounds, in the context...

An intraoral fluoride-releasing device (IFRD) is a cost-effective tool for introducing fluoride into the oral cavity. It allows prolonged uptake of low concentrations of fluoride into teeth. We developed a new IFRD using 3D additive manufacturing and a new low-release fluoride gel. Gels for IFRDs were synthesized from hydroxyethyl cellulose (SE600)...

It is challenging to deliver therapeutics in the oral environment due to the wet surfaces, the nature of the mucosa and the potential for saliva washout. In this study, the development of a mucoadhesive dimethicone-based oral carrier system for adhesion to the hard tissue and mucosa in the mouth was examined. This study reports the viscosity and mu...

This study investigated the combined effects of adding niobium–fluoride (NbF5) nanoparticles to a pit-and-fissure sealant. One resin sealant was reinforced with varying amounts of nanoparticles (0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 wt%). The surface hardness (SH), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), surface roughness (Ra), color change (ΔE), and mineral depos...

This study focused on fluoride (F−) contamination of water sources in Bahimi village, Cameroon. After the first investigation, results revealed that all water samples collected had elevated concentrations of fluoride ions (2.3 ± 0.1) mg/L to (4.5 ± 0.2) mg/L above the WHO guidelines (less than 1.5 mg/L). To mitigate the F− levels, the use of bone c...

Caries is among the most common non-communicable diseases worldwide, yet it is commonly described as preventable. Caries prevention is, however, difficult and complex, since the disease has strong social, parental, behavioral, political, medical/genetic, and psychological elements, and the payment models are targeted at traditional conservative car...

To investigate the effects of sodium fluoride on the ameloblast and reveal the mechanism of dental fluorosis. Mouse ameloblast-like cell line (ALC) cells were treated with various concentrations of NaF, and subjected to Incucyte, fluorescence immunoassay, transmission electron microscopy, reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction...

Background: The oral cavity is an important but often overlooked reservoir for Staphylococcus aureus. The effective control and prevention of S. aureus colonization and infection in the oral and maxillofacial regions are crucial for public health. Fluoride is widely used in dental care for its remineralization and antibacterial properties. However,...
