Title in Portuguese
Efeitos do chumbo na formação do esmalte fluorótico em ratos
Keywords in Portuguese
chumbo
flúor
fluorose
incisivos de ratos
poluição ambiental
Abstract in Portuguese
A co-exposição ao chumbo e ao flúor pode alterar o grau de fluorose dental, uma vez que ambos se depositam nos tecidos dentais. Ratos Wistar foram separados em 4 grupos: controle e 3 grupos que recebiam água contendo 100ppm de flúor (F), 30ppm de chumbo (Pb), ou 100ppm de F mais 30ppm de Pb desde a gestação. Análise do esmalte e determinação das dosagens de F no esmalte, dentina e osso foram realizadas nos animais com 81 dias. Defeitos nos incisivos dos ratos foram usados como escores em um índice que discriminou lesões na superfície como bandas, ilhas e cavidades. Não houve diferenças nas concentrações de F nos tecidos calcificados entre os grupos F e F+Pb. Os grupos controle e chumbo apresentaram esmalte normal. O grupo F+Pb apresentou defeitos de esmalte mais severos quando comparados com o grupo F (P<0.001). Este estudo mostrou que o Pb exacerbou a fluorose dental em roedores, sugerindo que a co-exposição ao PB pode explicar as diferenças na prevalência de fluorose.

Effects of lead in the formation of fluorotic enamel in rats

Abstract in English
Co-exposure to lead and fluoride may alter the degree of dental fluorosis, since both accumulate in calcified tissues. Wistar rats were allocated in four groups: control, and 3 groups that received water containing 100 ppm of fluoride (F), 30 ppm of lead (Pb), or 100 ppm of F and 30 ppm of Pb (F+Pb) since gestational age. Enamel analysis and F determinations in enamel, dentine, and bone were performed in 81-day-old animals. Incisor defects were scored using an index that discriminated surface lesions as bands, islets, and pits. There were no differences in the F concentration in calcified tissues between the F and F+Pb groups. The control and the Pb groups presented normal enamel. The F+Pb group presented more severe enamel defects compared with the F group (P<0.001). This study shows that Pb exacerbates dental fluorosis in rodents, suggesting that co-exposure to Pb may explain differences in fluorosis prevalence.
