Resumen
En los últimos años, las investigaciones respecto a este tema han ido incrementando,
estas han analizado la relación que existe con los distintos factores de riesgo para la
fluorosis dental, debido a que pueden llegar a niveles excesivos en el organismo. La
fluorosis está definida como una hipomineralización del esmalte que afecta
ampliamente a la población infantil principalmente desde los 6 meses hasta los 12 años.
Afecta en dentición temporal y definitiva, por distintos factores ya sea ambientales,
patrones en la dieta, edad, concentración de flúor, etc. Así mismo, existen otras
anomalías de desarrollo del esmalte, las cuales se presentan de una manera similar, por
ello, el interés de estudiar sus características y diferenciación es importante. El
Objetivo de la investigación es analizar la acción de la fluorosis en el desarrollo del
esmalte dental. Metodología: fue un estudio de tipo analítico, sintético e históricológico, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica basada en artículos de relevancia, los cuales
se anotaron en una matriz de consistencia. Conclusiones: el flúor es imprescindible para
la salud oral, pero en exceso puede provocar manchas en el esmalte; la principal
consecuencia es la función estética del esmalte, ya que pierde su coloración dental,
apareciendo manchas que se puede apreciar a simple vista, presentando sensibilidad y
sea más propenso a la aparición de caries
Abstract In recent years, research on this subject has been increasing and has analyzed the relationship that exists with the different risk factors for dental fluorosis, due to the fact that it can reach excessive levels in the organism. Fluorosis is defined as a hypomineralization of the enamel that widely affects the child population, mainly from 6 months to 12 years of age. It affects both primary and permanent dentition, due to different factors such as environmental factors, diet patterns, age, fluoride concentration, etc. Likewise, there are other anomalies of enamel development, which are presented in a similar way, therefore, the interest in studying their characteristics and differentiation is important. The objective of the research is to identify the consequences of the affectation in the development of the enamel due to dental fluorosis. Methodology was analytical, synthetic and historical-logical, a review of the literature was carried out based on relevant articles, which were noted in a consistency matrix. Conclusions: The fluoride is essential for oral health, but in excess it can cause stains in the enamel; the main consequence is the esthetic function of the enamel, since it loses its dental coloring, causing stains that can be seen with the naked eye, presenting sensitivity and being more prone to the appearance of caries.
