Dental Fluorosis is a growing public health problem in many parts of the world. Dental Fluorosis in the world youngster population is increasing, as it is highlighted in the latest Latin American epidemiological report. There are few studies on fluorosis and its prevalence in the region. These are the basis for the creation of this international network, including Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Argentina. In these countries there has been a significant increase in Dental Fluorosis, with values between 50% and 60%. A central goal of this network is to understand the “production-consumption source”, environment and the monitoring of systemic fluoride exposure, key to promote the benefits of fluorides and minimize the risks of chronic overexposure, leading to fluorosis. The significant increase in fluorosis in the Latin American region led to the formation of this research network. Its aim is to create a network of research centers in Latin America based on the management of spaces for communication, exchange and generation of knowledge on the subject of fluorides and dental fluorosis, and to generate products that can be used as inputs for public policy in the national health systems of the countries. |
