Fluorosed enamel is caused by exposure to fluoride during tooth formation. The objective of this study was to determine whether epithelial ameloblast-lineage cells, derived from the human enamel organ, are directly affected by micromolar concentrations of fluoride. Cells were cultured in the presence of fluoride, and proliferation was measured by BrdU incorporation. The effect of 0, 10, or 20 microM fluoride on apoptosis was determined by the flow cytometry apoptotic index. The effects of fluori ...[more]
