Dental fluorosis is a common^[2] disorder, characterized by hypomineralization of tooth enamel caused by ingestion of excessive fluoride during enamel formation.^[3]

치아불소증은 에나멜 형성기에 과도한 불소섭취가 원인이 되어 치아 에나멜이 과도하게 미네랄화 되는 현성을 말합니다.

It appears as a range of visual changes in enamel^[4] causing degrees of intrinsic tooth discoloration, and, in some cases, physical damage to the teeth. The severity of the condition is dependent on the dose, duration, and age of the individual during the exposure.^[1] The "very mild" (and most common) form of fluorosis, is characterized by small, opaque, "paper white” areas scattered irregularly over the tooth, covering less than 25% of the tooth surface. In the "mild" form of the disease, these mottled patches can involve up to half of the surface area of the teeth. When fluorosis is moderate, all of the surfaces of the teeth are mottled and teeth may be ground down and brown stains frequently "disfigure" the teeth. Severe fluorosis is characterized by brown discoloration and discrete or confluent pitting; brown stains are widespread and teeth often present a corroded-looking appearance.^[1]

People with fluorosis are relatively resistant to dental caries (tooth decay caused by bacteria),^[2] although there may be cosmetic concern.^[2] In moderate to severe fluorosis, teeth are weakened and suffer permanent physical damage

치아불소증의 관리: 치료가 아닙니다.

Dental fluorosis may or may not be of cosmetic concern. In some cases, there may be varying degrees of negative psychosocial effects. The treatment options are:

경미한 경우 치아미백 Mild cases: Tooth bleaching^[14]

보통의 경우 마이크로 어브레이젼Moderate cases: Micro-abrasion (outer affected layer of enamel is abraded in an acidic environment)^[14]

심각한 경우 레진충전 또는 비니어(충치치료처럼)Severe cases: Composite fillings, Micro-abrasion, Veneers, Crowns^[14]
