Chronic fluorosis is a widespread disease-related to the ingestion of
high levels of fluoride through water and food. Prolonged ingestion of
fluoride adversely affects the teeth, bones and other organs and alters
their anatomy and physiology. Fluoride excess is a risk factor in
cardiovascular disease and other major diseases, including
hypothyroidism, diabetes and obesity. Although anaesthesiologists may be
aware of its skeletal and dental manifestations, other systemic
manifestations, some of which may impact anaesthetic management are
relatively unknown. Keeping this in mind, the topic of chronic fluorosis
was hand searched from textbooks, scientific journals and
electronically through Google, PubMed and other scientific databases.
This article concentrates on the effect of chronic fluorosis on various
organ systems, its clinical features, diagnosis and the anaesthetic
implications of the disease.
