This study aimed to characterize fluoride-induced alterations in dentin mineralization within a dentin-pulp organ culture system. Tooth sections derived from male Wistar rat incisors were cultured in Trowel-type culture for 14 days, in the presence of 0 mM, 1 mM, 3 mM and 6 mM sodium fluoride. Tooth sections were processed and analyzed for uptake of fluoride, its subsequent effect on dentin mineralization by tetracycline hydrochloride incorporation and mineral composition, expressed as calcium/phosphorous (Ca/P) ratios. Tetracycline hydrochloride incorporation was demonstrated to decrease with increased fluoride exposure, accompanied by significant increases in both Ca/P ratios and fluoride incorporation. These findings provide further evidence that the established alterations in dentin formation during fluorosis are a consequence of disruption to the mineralization process, and provide a model system with which to investigate further the potential role the extracellular matrix plays in inducing the apparent changes in mineral composition.
