Fluoride concentration in dentine as a biomarker of fluoride intake in European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) - An electron-microprobe study

Our study provides strong support for the hypothesis that in the European roe deer the prenatal and early postnatal (pre-weaning) stages of dental development are (largely) protected against exposure to excess fluoride. This is attributed to the operation of certain protective mechanisms during these periods.
