Abstract:
In all 241 school going children from the adjacent villages in Rajura taluka of Chandrapur district in Maharashtra were screened for dental fluorosis. Additionally 38 adult persons were also screened. The population in these villages appears to be at risk for fluorosis. Water fluoride level of 20 ppm from the village Dhoptala is the highest reported fluoride concentration in drinking water sources in the state. The entire area needs further investigations.
