Abstract

The use of fluorides in doses recommended by the International Dental Association is totally safe. Fluoride toxicity occurs only when these doses are exceeded. The human organism is capable of metabolizing fluoride when administered in low doses. Toxic doses though can cause signs and symptoms which vary from simple gastric disturbances to serious health problems or even death. The least fluoride dose which can cause signs and symptoms of fluoride poisoning is called possibly toxic dose. In the present paper the amount of 5 mgF-/kg is considered as the probably toxic dose of fluoride. In the case of accidental ingestion of a fluoride overdose the dentist should be also to calculate the amount of fluoride ingested. A simple method of calculating the amount of fluoride swallowed is presented in this paper. In addition the emergency treatment for fluoride overdoses is discussed. The danger of acute fluoride poisoning has increased lately, especially for children, due to the variety, pleasant taste smell and colour of fluoride products. Dentists should be able to estimate the toxic potential of fluoride in case of accidental poisoning and advise appropriate treatment.

[氟化物中毒:机制、症状和治疗]。
按照国际牙科协会推荐的剂量使用氟化物是完全安全的。氟化物毒性只有在超过这些剂量时才会发生。在低剂量的情况下,人体有机体能够代谢氟化物。然而,有毒剂量会导致各种症状和体征,从简单的胃部不适到严重的健康问题,甚至死亡。能引起氟化物中毒症状和体征的最小剂量称为可能中毒剂量。本文认为氟的可能毒性剂量为5mg -/kg。在意外摄入过量氟化物的情况下,牙医也应计算摄入的氟化物量。本文提出了一种计算吞氟量的简便方法。此外,还讨论了氟化物过量的急救处理。由于氟化物产品种类繁多、味道、气味和颜色宜人,急性氟化物中毒的危险最近有所增加,特别是对儿童而言。牙医应该能够在意外中毒的情况下估计氟化物的潜在毒性,并建议适当的治疗方法。
