Abstract
The dynamics of experimental fluorosis of the teeth and regression of the process were studied in albino rats. Fluorine was found to have a selective toxic action on the tissues of the permanently growing incisors, causing disturbances of dentine and enamel production and also of the microcirculation in the pulp. Changes in the bone tissue of the jaws were characterized by evidence of increasing porosity. Regression of the process was found to take place only after a recovery period of some considerable duration.
