Does nutrition have an effect on the timing of tooth formation
BACKGROUND: The effect of nutritional status on the timing of permanent tooth formation is not well understood, despite clear evidence that systemic stresses result in enamel defects during tooth formation. AIM: This study investigated the effect of nutritional status (measured as BMI, height, weight, mid-upper arm circumference, and head circumference) on permanent tooth formation. METHOD: This was a prospective cross-sectional study involving 6…
The Wits Atlas
Current dental maturity charts, such as the widely applied London atlas, do not take into consideration advanced tooth emergence and formation patterns observed in children of African ancestry. The result is inaccurate age estimation in Southern Africa, a region where there is great forensic and anthropological need for reliable age estimation. OBJECTIVES: To develop a population-specific atlas of permanent tooth emergence and formation for age e…
Permanent tooth emergence
Objectives This study investigates mean age, sequence, and temporal trends of permanent tooth emergence in Black Southern African children and compares the findings with other population samples. Materials and methods This community‐based cross‐sectional study involved 639 Black Southern African children between 5 and 20 years of age. Probit analysis was used to derive the mean age at emergence of the permanent teeth. Sex and cross‐population com…
Third molar impaction and agenesis
Background Third molar influence on anterior crowding is controversial, but they are assumed to play a major role in compromising dental arch space. Aim To evaluate the relationship among impaction, agenesis and crowding in black South African males. Subjects and method Mandibles and maxillae of 535 black South African males in the Raymond A. Dart Collection of Human Skeletons, University of the Witwatersrand were examined for anterior crowding a…
Brief communication
This study measured the mean age, duration, and sequence of the emergence of permanent dentition in Nigerian children and compared the findings with other population groups. The cross‐sectional study involved 1,078 Nigerian children, aged 4–16 years old, from selected primary and secondary schools in the Ife Central local government area in Ile‐Ife, Osun State. In general, compared to boys, girls had an earlier mean age of emergence of all the pe…
Relationship between socio‐demographic and anthropometric variables and number of erupted primary teeth in suburban Nigerian children
The socio-demographic and anthropometric variables could influence the number of teeth present in the child's mouth. To determine the effect of anthropometric and socio-demographic variables on the number of erupted primary teeth, a cross-sectional study was performed involving 1013 children aged between 4 and 36 months who attended the immunization clinics in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA. The analyses include…
