Article Synopsis
- Skeletal fluorosis (SF) arises from long-term fluoride exposure, leading to brittle bones and fractures, with no established treatment except for avoiding fluoride sources.
- A case study of a 50-year-old woman showed she suffered from frequent fractures and elevated fluoride levels due to huffing a keyboard cleaner containing fluoride.
- After stopping fluoride exposure, the patient was treated with abaloparatide, a hormone to enhance bone remodeling, which resulted in decreased fluoride levels and some reduction in bone density, indicating potential benefits in managing SF.
