The early effects of two doses of sodium fluoride (NaF) on bone remodeling was studied in 14 ewes divided into two groups. Group I received orally 1 mg NaF/kg/day and group II received a five-fold greater dose. No calcium supplement was given. Transiliac bone biopsies and blood samples were taken before treatment (T0) and after 45 (T45) days of treatment. Bone fluoride content significantly increased in group II. In both groups, a significant decrease of serum calcium and phosphorus, and a slight but nonsignificant augmentation in serum parathyroid hormone were noted. Osteoid perimeter and area were significantly increased. The osteoid width significantly increased in both groups, but was twice higher in group II than I. At T45, the osteoblast perimeter increased in both groups. Osteoid perimeter was significantly correlated with serum osteocalcin values (r = 0.74; p less than 0.001) and bone fluoride content (r = 0.64; p less than 0.01). The bone formation rate at tissue level tended to increase in both groups. Concerning the apposition rate, a decrease was noted which was 1.5-fold higher in group II than in I. The increased formation period resulted from a prolonged inactive period in group II. These results point out a stimulatory effect of fluoride on the birth rate of osteoblasts. However, fluoride prolonged the lifespan of osteoblasts that had reduced activity.
