Abstract: Objective: To compare the mandibular bone mineral density with different degrees of dental fluorosis. Methods: Eighty orthodontic patients were divided into heavy group, medium group, mild group, and control group. Mandibular bone mineral density was measured with panoramic mandibular index. Results: The mandibular bone mineral density of experimental groups was lower than that of control group, and inversely proportional to the degree of dental fluorosis (P<0.05). Conclusion: Dental fluorosis reduced the mandibular bone mineral density, the more severely the degree of dental fluorosis exhibited, the lower the bone mineral density was.
