Summary
Human individual sensitivity to fluoride varies, with 11.4% showing heightened sensitivity even at physiological fluoride (F) concentrations. Sensitivity is linked to the patient
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry and Human Physiology
- Toxicology and Environmental Health
Context:
- Investigating individual human sensitivity to fluoride (F) exposure.
- Assessing fluoride levels in patients aged 20-65 at CRIS clinics.
Purpose:
- To determine the prevalence and influencing factors of individual fluoride sensitivity.
- To establish a baseline for managing fluoride dosage based on patient sensitivity.
Summary:
- A study of 140 patients revealed that 11.4% exhibited increased fluoride sensitivity at concentrations similar to high physiological levels (0.19 ppm).
- Individual fluoride sensitivity was found to correlate with the severity of the patient's overall health status.
Impact:
- Provides critical data for developing personalized fluoride treatment strategies.
- Highlights the need for tailored fluoride dosage adjustments in clinical practice based on individual patient responses.
