Background: Fluorosis is a chronic condition that is caused due to excessive consumption of fluorine compounds. Jowar, a type of millet, when consumed in excessive quantities, tends to increase the level of fluoride retention in our bodies.
Aim: To assess the degree of dental fluorosis in relation to the consumption of jowar.
Methods: A literature search was performed using Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Wiley and Research Gate using MeSH terms – Jowar AND Dental fluorosis. Of the 307 results screened, 63 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and five articles were taken for the analysis. Following PRISMA guidelines, this review was reported.
Results:
Conclusion: In the available literature, the jowar that the individual consumes is retained in their body and majorly causes dental fluorosis.
