Objectives: The market for bottled water is increasing steadily in South Korea. Bottled water contains several naturally occuring minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, and fluoride. Fluoride is proven to be effective in preventing dental caries. In South Korea, the maximum permissible concentration of fluoride is 2 ppm for bottled water and 1.5 ppm for tap water. The aim of this study was to investigate the fluoride content of different commercially available brands of bottled water in South Korea, and compare the measured fluoride concentration to the concentration written on the label of each brand of bottled water. Methods: Twenty-seven of the 59 different brands of bottled water produced in South Korea were investigated in this study. Three bottles of each brand were purchased from supermarkets, marts, and convenience stores in each region of Korea in August 2016. For each bottled water brand, the fluoride content was measured three times using a fluoride-ion selective electrode (Orion ionplus Fluoride Electrode 9609, Orion Research, USA). The calibration curve was generated using 0.2 and 2 ppm standard solutions, and confirmed using a 1 ppm standard solution. Results: The mean fluoride content of the 27 brands of bottled water was $0.374{\pm}0.332mg/L$ (range=0.040 to 1.172 mg/L). The fluoride content was labeled by the manufacturer, on each of the tested brands of bottled water. In eight brands, the labeled fluoride content differed from the experimental data. The minimum to maximum fluoride content measured from 10 brands showed a variation of 0.3 mg/L or more when compared to the labeled fluoride content. Conclusions: This study investigated the fluoride content of various brands of bottled water produced in South Korea and compared the measured fluoride levels with fluoride information on the bottle labels. To ensure that consumers are suitably informed regarding their exposure to fluoride, correct labelling of fluoride content in bottled water is important.

Poly (vinylidene fluoride) thin films were deposited by a spray-coating technology. Two organic solvents with different boiling point were used to prepare the mixture solution for spray coating process: N-Methylpyrrolodone ($B.P.=202^{\circ}C$); Tetrahydrofuran ($B.P.=66^{\circ}C$). Post-deposition annealing temperature was varied for the spray-coated Poly(vinylidene fluoride) thin films. Structural characteristics of the thin films were comparatively investigated by FT-IR and XRD in relation with the organic solvent and post-deposition annealing temperature.

Catecholamine levels were determined in the submandibular glands of new born rats treated with physiologieal saline solution or large doses of sodium fluoride (10mg/kg) for verying periods of time. In control group, catecholamine levels were gradually increased from fifth day of life until twenty-fifth day of life. When fluoride treatment was started on the fifth day after birth and continued daily to the thirty-fifthday of life, decreased catecholamine levels were obsrved on the fifth, through all experiments, and thirth-fifth day. Daily fluoride treatment from the fifteenth through the thirty-fifth day after birth induced the decreased catecholamine levels which were higher than the levels in submandibular glands of rats treated from the fifth day to the thirty-fifth day after birth with NaF. These experiments suggest that fluoride may be affecting catecholamine biosynthetic mechanisms which were duveloping during the fifteenth to twenty-fifth day of life.

The purpose of the study was to confirm the influence of fluoride to enamel decalcification. Specimens were prepared from 20 extracted teeth. Every tooth was sliced into 4 pieces by means of seperating disc. The pieces with sound enamel were distributed to 4 groups. 1st group was treated with 0.5% NaF solution for 2 minutes. 2nd group was treated with 0.5% NaF solution for 10 minutes. 3rd group was treated with 1% NaF solution for 2 minutes. 4th group was treated with 1% NaP solution for 10 minutes. The enamel surface of each specimen were decalcified with 30% $H_3PO_4$ for 2 minutes and the findings through electron microscope were as follows; 1. The degree of decalcification on the 1st group was greater than that of the 2nd group. 2. Roughness of the 3rd group was slightly higher than that of the 4th group. 3. Under the same procedure of decalcification, the specimen treated by higher conceutration of NaF solution for same length of time showed less decalcified picture. 4. Under the same procedure, of decalcification, the specimens treated by same concentration of NaF solution for different length of time, were compared and found longer the time less decalcified.

Objectives: This study was conducted to find out caries preventive effect on permanent teeth among children who brush teeth with fluoride-containing toothpaste by supervised weekly fluoride mouthrinsing program in elementary schools. Methods: The epidemiologic dental survey was performed on the elementary schoolchildren of supervised weekly fluoride mouthrinsing program (FMR) with 0.2 percent neutral sodium fluoride solution and control group in 2007. Caries preventive effect on permanent teeth by fluoride mouthrinsing program were calculated by DMFT index and DMFS index between FMR group and control group. Results: By DMFT index between FMR group and control group, caries rates on permanent teeth of the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade children participating in FMR program were 34.1%, 40.8% and 31.5%, respectively. By the DMFS index between FMR group and control group, caries preventive rates on permanent teeth of the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade children participating in FMR program were calculated 25.4%, 37.7% and 33.5%, respectively. Conclusions: We suggest that fluoride mouthrinsing program should be developed to all elementary schools to prevent dental caries.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate fluoride release and the micro-shear bond strength of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) in casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP)-remineralized caries-affected dentin (CAD). Materials and Methods: Exposed dentin surfaces of 30 human third molar teeth were divided into 2 equal groups for evaluating fluoride release and the micro-shear bond strength of RMGIC to CAD. Each group was subdivided into 3 equal subgroups: 1) control (sound dentin); 2) artificially demineralized dentin (CAD); 3) CPP-ACP remineralized dentin (remineralized CAD). To measure fluoride release, 15 disc-shaped specimens of RMGIC (4 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness) were bonded on one flat surface of the dentin discs of each group. Fluoride release was tested using ion chromatography at different intervals; 24 hours, 3, 5, 7 days. RMGIC micro-cylinders were built on the flat dentin surface of the 15 discs, which were prepared according to the assigned group. Micro-shear bond strength was measured after 24 hours water storage. Data were analyzed using 1- and 2-way analysis of variance and the post hoc least significant difference test (${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: Fluoride detected in solutions (at all intervals) and the micro-shear bond strength of RMGIC bonded to CPP-ACP-remineralized dentin were significantly higher than those bonded to artificial CAD (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Demineralized CAD consumes more fluoride released from RMGIC into the solution for remineralization than CPP-ACP mineralized dentin does. CPP-ACP increases the micro-shear bond strength of RMGIC to CAD.

A new colorimetric sensors containing thiourea (1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-quinolin-6-ylthiourea; 1) and urea(1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-quinolin-6-ylurea; 2) moieties for fluoride were designed and synthesized. These simple receptors were characterized their stoichiometry, and investigates the mechanism of their selectivity as anion receptors. The addition of tetrabutylammonium fluoride salts to the solution of receptors caused a dramatically and clearly observable color changes from colorless to yellow. To examine their application as anion receptors by UV-vis and $^1H$ NMR spectroscopy results revealed their higher selectivity for fluoride ion than other anions. The receptors and fluoride ion formed a 1:1 stoichiometry complex through strong hydrogen bonding interactions in the first step, followed by a process of deprotonation in presence of an excess of $F^-$ in DMSO solvent.
