All of the following statements about sodium fluoride in otosclerosis are true, except
Correct Answer: Acts by inhibiting osteoblastic activity
Description: Sodium fluoride acts by inhibiting proteolytic enzymes in the cochlea and not by inhibiting osteoblastic activity. Sodium fluoride had been tried to hasten the maturity of active focus and arrest fuher cochlear loss, but controversies exist and this treatment is not recommended generally.
