[Epidemiology of bone fluorosis of hydrotelluric origin].
Although endemic fluorosis occurs in many countries, epidemiological studies have been limited by funding problems, a lack of awareness of the public health impact of the disease, and the absence of inexpensive defluoridation methods. The effects of fluorides on human bone are reviewed and the methodological problems raised by epidemiological studies of endemic skeletal fluorosis are discussed.
