Oral Health wsr to Dental Fluorosis:A Review.

Gyanendra kumar Gupta, Gagan devi

Abstract


Dental fluorosis occurs due to the hypomineralization of tooth enamel. This can lead to discoloration of the teeth. Mild and very mild fluorosis can cause teeth to look whiter, and therefore, it can improve esthetic perceptions of teeth, thereby leading to better OHRQoL(Oral Health related quality of Life). On the other hand, moderate and severe fluorosis can cause more noticeable tooth discoloration and in some cases even loss of function, thus leading to decreased esthetic perception and poor OHRQoL. Therefore, depending on the severity of dental fluorosis, the OHRQoL of an individual can be shifted to either end of the spectrum.
