Some physico-chemical properties of deciduous enamel of children with and without pre-natal fluoride supplementation (PNF).

Physico-chemical investigations of enamel from deciduous teeth of a small number of children with and without pre-natal fluoride supplementation (PNF) exhibited the following differences between the PNF and non-PNF enamel, with the former showing: (a) more homogeneous and less extensive patterns of acid-etching; (b) denser crystal populations in intra-prismatic regions; (c) larger prism dimensions; (d) greater total mineral density (wt%ash); (e) higher degree of crystallinity; (f) smaller a-axis dimensions; and (g) more fluoride and less carbonate contents. On the basis of these preliminary findings, further studies with larger numbers of samples would seem appropriate.

Optimum dosage for prenatal fluoride supplementation (PNF): Part IX.

There exists such a wide margin of safety for prenatal fluoride in regard to fluorosis that 2 mg/day can be used as a simplified prenatal fluoride dosage in all areas, regardless of whether they are fluoridated. Any prenatal fluoride dosage between 1 and 4 mg/day is better than no prenatal fluoride at all.
