- Abstract
Fluorine is a double edged sword as its higher levels are linked with dental/skeletal fluorosis while its deficiency is associated with dental caries.1 Skeletal fluorosis may remain asymptomatic or may present with myeloradiculopathy secondary to cord compression and nerve root involvement. Neurological complication including quadriparesis is a rare complication of endemic fluorosis. Since the changes of dental and skeletal fluorosis are irreversible, prevention is the mainstay of controlling the disease.
