Sexual dimorphism in deciduous tooth crown size is often used to identify sex in sub-adults from archeological sites and forensic settings. Yet sexual dimorphism in deciduous dental attributes is less...
Mean deciduous tooth crown size was culled from published literature, yielding a sample of 37 groups. Mean mesiodistal (MD) and buccolingual (BL) crown dimensions are the basis for computing percent s...
Mean %SD is low overall (1.77) for 26 groups and the level of dimorphism is not significantly different for MD (1.68) and BL (1.72) dimensions. The most sexual dimorphic deciduous teeth include inciso...
Sexual dimorphism in crown size is lower and more variably expressed than in permanent teeth. Differences may relate to developmental, chromosomal, and hormonal factors. Degree of sexual dimorphism is...
This study documents deciduous tooth crown dimensions and sex dimorphism in modern Malay children of Indonesia. Comparisons are made with living and prehistoric East and South Asians to better underst...
Measurements of the dental crown were made with a Mitutoyo digimatic caliper, interfaced with a Dell laptop, running Microsoft Excel (2003). Buccolingual (BL) measurements of maximum crown breadth of ...
Crown dimensions, sex dimorphism and crown areas are presented and reveal consistencies in tooth size and level of sexual dimorphism with East and South Asian living samples. Sex dimorphism in Malay c...
Sex dimorphism in Malay deciduous crown dimensions is lower than average among Asians and total tooth crown area is similar to living East and South Asians but is reduced when compared with prehistori...
Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone produced by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis that is regularly assessed in modern human and non-human populations in saliva, blood, and hair as a measure of...
Fifty-one dentine and enamel samples from nine modern and 10 archaeological deciduous teeth were analyzed for cortisol concentrations via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)....
Detectable concentrations of cortisol were identified in 15 (of 32) dentine and 8 (of 19) enamel samples coming from modern and archaeological deciduous teeth....
This study is the first known analysis of cortisol from deciduous dental tissues, demonstrating the potential to identify measurable concentrations....
The ability to analyze deciduous teeth is integral to developing dental cortisol methods with multiple potential future applications, including research on the biological embedding of stress in the sk...
Multiple samples generated cortisol values that were not detectable with ELISA. Minimum quantities of tissue may be required to generate detectable levels of cortisol....
Future research should include larger sample sizes and consideration of intrinsic biological and extrinsic preservation factors on dental cortisol. Further method validation and alternative methods fo...
to investigate the impact of the severity of microcephaly caused by the Zika virus (MCZ) on tooth eruption and orofacial structures of children....
This case series study developed the research at the Mens Sana Rehabilitation Center, Arcoverde, Brazil. The study included 27 children diagnosed with MCZ. We performed the data collection in June 201...
The final sample was composed of 20 children. Of these, 13 (35.0%) had severe microcephaly, 5 (30.0%) had altered sequence of tooth eruption, 10 (50.0%) had delayed eruption, and the mean number of de...
The severity of MCZ does not seem to influence changes in deciduous tooth eruption and the presence of orofacial anomalies....
Hypomineralisation defects with demarcated opacities are also observed in the deciduous dentition and have been found to be a predictive factor for hypomineralisation defects in the permanent dentitio...
Infraocclusion of deciduous teeth is a frequent dental anomaly caused by ankylosis accompanied by local growth disturbance. During puberal growth spurt an increasing progression of infraocclusion is d...
The systematic literature search followed the PRISMA guidelines and included the analysis of the following databases and study registries: PubMed (MEDLINE), the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embas...
Of 5645 records, 42 papers qualified for the final analysis. The evaluation of infraoccluded deciduous teeth was mainly (n = 37) performed by quantitative and semiquantitative assessment of the extent...
To carry out a comprehensive evaluation of infraoccluded deciduous teeth, an assessment of the occlusal, alveolar and potentially skeletal levels is advisable. Radiographic investigations i.e. panoram...
This systematic review has been registered in the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) under the registration number: CRD42024555842....
Systemic fluoride intake is predominantly derived from drinking water and tea. It's been noted that water and tea containing fluoride, within the boundaries set by the World Health Organization, can l...
Fluoride analysis was performed on drinking water sourced from seven different regions of Turkey and a brand of tea brewed with these waters. The tea was harvested and packaged in Turkey. The analysis...
Statistically significant differences were found in fluoride content of enamel between water brands and tooth type (deciduous and permanent teeth). Fluoride levels were higher in the enamel of deciduo...
Regular exposure of enamel samples to black tea and water led to an increase in fluoride levels in the enamel; thus, regular consumption of black tea and fluoride water could help reduce the prevalenc...
This study aimed to illustrate the biological behavior and changes in cell function during the progression of apical periodontitis in deciduous teeth and to explore the underlying molecular mechanism....
In many forensic cases, the identification of human remains is performed by comparing their genetic profile with profiles from reference samples of relatives, usually the parents. Here, we report, for...
Adherence to the daily use of dental floss in childhood is recommended by various international health institutions/organizations. This systematic review (PROSPERO number CRD42020205232) aims to evalu...
A systematic review was conducted in six databases (B-on, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scielo, Science Direct and Web of Science) up to December 2020. The CoCoPop mnemonic allowed for obtaining 2333 arti...
The meta-analysis showed a prevalence of dental floss use of only 12.60% (95% CI: 7.69%-18.52%) based on studies with high heterogeneity of results (I...
A low prevalence of dental floss use was observed in children up to 6 years old. Given the diversity of evaluating the use of dental floss, different options should be the target of standardization in...
