➡️The video outlines different mechanisms by which fluoride changes enamel structure, alter bacterial metabolism and tooth morphology to give protection against dental caries 
🔆Improving enamel resistance
🔆Increasing demineralization 
🔆Altering tooth morphology 

➡️Watch the video to learn about the mechanisms in detail

➡️The video enlists and explain in detail about the various techniques used for defluoridation. The techniques includes

🔆Adsorption techniques (Activated Alumkna/Bonechar/mudpots/brick columns /drumstick seeds

🔆Ion exchange methods(Carbion/Defluron1&2)

🔆Precipitation methods(Nalgonda technique)

🔆Other techniques -Reverse osmosis/electrolysis

The video explains about the toxicity of fluorides. The double edged sword concept of fluoride and its effect on teeth. The reasons, manifestation, management are explained with respect to chronic and acute toxicity.
