Abstract

Fluorosed human teeth have lower concentrations of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) disaccharides and an increased dermatan sulphate content. Teeth from subjects with a high fluoride intake have a higher ratio of 4-sulphated to 6-sulphated GAGs. Increased dermatan sulphate may be an important factor in the clinical manifestations of fluorosis.
