Sažetak

Dental fluorosis is a side effect o f the fluoride present in tissue fluid over a prolonged period during tooth development (the secretory and/or maturation phases o f amelogenesis). Fluorosis is clinically characterised by an increasing porosity o f the surface enamel causing the white opacities affecting homologous teeth. The severity and distribution o f fluorosis depend on the fluoride concentration, duration o f exposure to fluoride, the stage o f ameloblasts activity and individual variation in susceptibility. There are several factors which may account for individual differences: patho-physiological factors (disorders in acid-base balance, malnutrition, diseases which promote te consumption o f innusually large amounts o f water) and environmental factors (temperature and residence at high alltitude).
