Institute of Community Health, Odense University, Institute of Psychology, Aarhus University, and the Municipal School Dentistry Service, Randers, Denmark ABSTRACT Absorbed lead continuously adds to the lead deposited in the vascular­ ized circumpulpal dentin of the teeth. Thus, this dental tissue is expected to contain a lead concentration which reflects the integrated lead exposure during the time from completion of tooth formation to tooth extraction or shedding. A method has been developed to assess the lead level in the dentin surrounding the pulp chamber in deciduous teeth. Variation within the tooth is minimal, but upper medial incisors show a slightly lower lead level than do other incisors, as assessed in 714 teeth from first-grade Danish school children. This tendency was not confirmed, however, in a small number of paired teeth from the same children. The new method appears advantageous for epidemiological studies of lead neurotoxicity in children.

  • Deciduous Teeth Overview
    Deciduous Teeth Overview: ● Deciduous teeth are the first set of teeth a person has. They are a total of 20. ● It is important to learn about the teething stage to help make it a less painful and irritating experience for children. ● Most common problems for deciduous teeth: Caries (cavities), pain and infection, thumb sucking and using a pacifier for longer than the average age. ● A child’s face and teeth may also be injured, affecting the permanent tooth that would replace the injured primary tooth. ● Care guidelines for children’s teeth and mouths should be followed and taken seriously. What are primary teeth? They are the first set of teeth a person has and they remain until it is time for them to fall and be replaced by permanent teeth. Number: 20 teeth Other names: Baby teeth, shed teeth, temporary teeth, primary teeth, milk teeth. Importance of deciduous teeth: ● They help the child chew food. ● They aid speed and enunciation. ● Primary teeth occupy a place in the mouth so they can later allow permanent teeth to appear in their correct place. When a child loses a primary tooth prematurely, this may affect the shape and order of the permanent teeth. ● They help with a child’s aesthetic and increase confidence while smiling When do deciduous teeth appear and when do they shed? Deciduous teeth start appearing gradually starting the age of 6-7 months, beginning with the lower jaw. They are fully developed at the age of 2.5. Development of deciduous teeth (teething): Teething is when a child starts to develop his/her first teeth.

Exfoliated primary teeth were collected from children with a diagnosis of OI and from healthy individuals (N = 24). Tooth slices containing both dentin and enamel were fixed, dehydrated and dried, gold sputtered, and observed using FEI-SEM. Additional dentin fragments were decalcified, dehydrated, embedded in resin, cut, and processed for TEM analysis.

  • Formation Ability of Secondary Dentin in Deciduous Teeth
    Formation Ability of Secondary Dentin in Deciduous Teeth by Sohiti ISOKAWA* and Yoshihisa TODA* Histological researches of teeth which have been published so far are concerned with permanent teeth in most cases. Consequently, milk teeth are not so often employed as a material, because most dentalhistologists have ignored the significance of deciduous teeth up to date. It is not too much to say thatopresent knowledge of dental histology is chiefly derived from that of permanent teeth. Of late, teeth ofchildren have come to receive a new notice with the rapid strides in the realm of pedodontics. Also in the field of dental histology, deciduous teeth have been gradually brought into the limelight by manyinvestigators from various points of view. Some items regarding deciduous dentition were investigated byt present authors. One of them which deals with the formation ability ofsecondary dentin isreported in this paper. In spite of the significance of formation ability of secondary dentin in the operative dentistry on children, this problem has not hitherto been given any attention on the part of dentists and dental investigators. That is the reason why most of them have followed opinions of CHURCHILLand others. Theseopinions maintain that the pulp tissue of deciduous teeth reacts without bringing about any formation ofprotective dentin to external stimuli. The authors have regarded a possibility very important whether or not the formation ability of secondarydentin takes place in deciduous teeth. Therefore, this problem had been examinedfrom thestatistical viewpoint. As a result of this examination, the following conclusion is obtained that theformation ability of secondary dentin in deciduous teeth is all the same with that of permanent teeth.

Deciduous teeth half of the mouth is represented by this formula: fall off or are shed (like leaves from a deciduous tree) and are replaced by the adult teeth that succeed them. Common nicknames for them are "milk teeth," or "temporary teeth," which, unfortunately, denote a lack of importance. The dentition that follows the primary teeth may be called the Compare this formula to that for the secondary dentition, and you will be permanent dentition, but since many of the so-called permanent teeth are able to draw some interesting conclusions: lost due to disease, trauma, or other causes, the authors have chosen to call it the secondary dentition (or adult dentition).

    Activity: Can You Identify the Age? Background Skeletons are good age markers because teeth and bones mature at fairly predictable rates. How Teeth Reveal Age Baby teeth, also called milk or deciduous teeth, start erupting at about six months, beginning with the central incisors in the lower jaw (mandible). Each tooth type - incisors, canines, premolars, molars - erupts on a predictable schedule. The incisor teeth are any of the four anterior teeth in each jaw, used for cutting and gnawing. The canine teeth are the four sharp-pointed teeth next to the incisors. The premolar teeth are one of eight bicuspid teeth located in pairs on each side of the upper and lower jaws behind the canines and in front of the molars. The molar teeth are the teeth with a broad crown used to grind food, located behind the premolars. Permanent teeth begin to replace deciduous teeth at about six years of age and finish erupting by about 21 years of age. Figure 1. Human teeth.

Primary Teeth 2.Permanent Teeth Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU SIGNIFICANCE OF DECIDUOUS DENTITION • Efficient mastication of food: With the establishment of primary occlusion, child learns to masticate the food efficiently. Neuromuscular coordination required for masticatory process is established at primary dentition stage itself. Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU • Maintenance of a proper diet and good nutrition: A child with missing/grossly decayed primary teeth may reject food that is difficult to chew. • Maintenance of normal facial appearance: It contributes to normal psychological and cognitive development of the child. Prematurely lost or rampantly carious front teeth may hamper a child’s self confidence due to mocking from their peers. Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU • Development of clear speech: Teeth, especially the anteriors are essential for normal pronounciation of consonants. Congenital absence or premature loss of anterior primary teeth can hamper the development of clear speech. Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU • Avoidance of infection and possible sequelae: It is important to prevent and treat dental caries of primary teeth so as to prevent abscess formation & pain. Spread of infection from periapical abscess (especially in primary molars) may reach the underlying permanent tooth germs & can cause brown spots of their crowns (Turner’s hypoplasia). Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU • Maintenance of normal eruption schedule of permanent successors: Generally, successor tooth erupts within three months of exfoliation of its predecessor tooth.
