Popis: Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between dental fluorosis occurrence in children and bone metabolism-related indicators, including bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), osteocalcin (OC), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-20), and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Methods: A total of 189 cases of school-age children who underwent health examinations in our hospital were enrolled, according to the presence or absence of dental fluorosis. They were divided into the fluorosis group (n=97) and fluoride-free group (n=92), and the serum BALP, OC, MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-20, and PTH levels of the two groups were compared and relevant clinical data were collected. This study employed multivariate logistic regression to examine the factors associated with the development of dental fluorosis in children. Results: The urine fluoride levels, BALP, MMP-2, and MMP9 of the children in the fluorosis group were higher than fluoride-free group, and the mother's educational level, per capita annual household income, OC, and PTH were lower than fluoride-free group (P
