Reversibility of skeletal fluorosis
British Journal of Industrial Medicine
|November 1, 1983
Summary
Skeletal fluorosis in cryolite workers shows reversible bone changes years after exposure ends. Excess fluoride is slowly excreted in urine as bone remodels.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Medicine
- Skeletal Radiology
- Toxicology
Background:
- Skeletal fluorosis is a bone disease caused by excessive fluoride intake.
- Cryolite workers historically faced high fluoride exposure.
- Long-term effects of fluoride exposure on bone require further investigation.
