Article Abstract
What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Coal-burning pollution type of endemic fluorosis poses a serious health threat to rural inhabitants in certain regions of China.
What Is Added By This Report?: The detection rate of dental fluorosis among children aged 8-12 years in China's coal-burning endemic fluorosis areas showed a significant decreasing trend from 2009 to 2023. Nine provincial-level administrative divisions (PLADs) were classified as low-prevalence clusters, while only Yunnan was identified as a high-prevalence cluster during 2022-2023.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?: Prevention and control of coal-burning endemic fluorosis should be managed with precision based on the epidemiological characteristics of each PLAD. Efforts should enhance surveillance and early warning systems while strengthening preventive measures in high-risk regions.

Introduction: While fluoride exposure is a well-established factor in the development of dental fluorosis (DF), individual variability in susceptibility suggests that additional factors may also contribute to its manifestation. The etiology of Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), in turn, is multifactorial and remains not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between MIH, dental fluorosis, caries, and polymorphisms in the AQP5, MMP2, and COMT genes in children exposed to high fluoride levels in drinking water.

Maintaining optimal fluoride levels in drinking water is crucial for balancing dental caries prevention and fluorosis risk in children. This cross-sectional study investigated 12,163 children aged 8-12 years across 934 villages in Qingdao, China, following water safety interventions in an endemic fluorosis regions. Water fluoride concentrations were measured via spectrophotometry, while dental examinations assessed fluorosis (Dean's classification) and caries (DMFT index).

Prolonged exposure to fluoride may induce neurotoxic effects. Chondroitin sulfate (CS) exhibits protective functions within the central nervous system (CNS); however, the mechanism by which CS protects synapses against fluoride remains incompletely understood. Our objective was to investigate the protective efficacy of CS on synapses and decipher its underlying mechanisms.

The combined impact of high iodine and high fluoride exposure has garnered increased attention. To determine whether exposure to high levels of fluoride and iodine in water has adverse effects on children's teeth. In this study, 582 children aged 8 to 12 from rural Jiangsu, China, were divided into three groups based on the concentrations of iodine and fluoride in their drinking water: a high fluoride and high iodine group (HFHI), a high fluoride group (HF), and a control group (CONTROL).

Introduction: A cross-sectional study assessed the relationship between fluoride exposure and renal function in adults residing in endemic fluoride villages of the YSR Kadapa district.
Materials And Method: 320 subjects were randomly selected from the willing participants of 659 adults based on selection criteria. The study subjects were grouped based on age into Group A (Adults aged between 21 and 40years) and Group B (Adults aged between 41 and 60years).
