Dental fluorosis (DF) is a prevalent developmental defect of tooth enamel caused by exposure to excessive fluoride, with the severity dependent on various factors. This study aimed to investigate the association between DF and a specific genetic polymorphism (rs412777) in the COL1A2 gene among a Tunisian population. A case-control study was conducted from July to November 2022, involving a total of 95 participants including 51 cases and 44 controls.

- - The study investigates the impact of spirometry and lung age communication on smoking cessation rates, as previous evidence on its effectiveness is limited and inconclusive.
- - Conducted from June 2017 to February 2020, a randomized controlled trial showed that 25.5% of participants in the spirometry group quit smoking after one year, compared to 16.5% in the control group, with significant statistical results.
- - The findings suggest that using spirometry and lung age estimates can effectively motivate smokers to quit, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool in smoking cessation efforts.
