Background: Molar incisor hypomineralization is one of the major developmental defects enamel affecting or more first permanent molars and often associated with involvement. MIH thought to be idiopathic, but etiology not yet known. Objective: The aim this study was determine relationship between postnatal factors, namely disease suffered by children aged 0-3 years in group 6-15 years. Methods: ...

Background: The eruption of the first permanent molar (FPM) marks beginning mixed dentition, which is one most dynamic periods in development and growth stomatognathic system. Aim: purpose study was to investigate pathology during transition stage between primary dentition.

We report a new case of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type II which is a perinatal lethal form. First trimester ultrasound didn't identified abnormalities. Second trimester ultrasound showed incurved limbs, narrow chest, with hypomineralization and multiple fractures of ribs and long bones. Parents refused pregnancy termination; they felt that the diagnosis was late. At birth, the newborn presen...

AIM Our aim was to test the hypothesis that co-exposure to lead and fluoride alter the severity of enamel fluorosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Wistar rats were allocated in four groups: control, and 3 groups that received water containing 100 ppm of fluoride (F), 30 ppm of lead (Pb), or 100 ppm of F and 30 ppm of Pb (F+Pb) from the beginning of gestation. Enamel analysis and F and Pb determinatio...

BACKGROUND Inactivating mutations in tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) cause hypophosphatasia (HPP), which is commonly characterized by decreased bone mineralization. Infants and mice with HPP can also develop craniosynostosis and craniofacial shape abnormalities, although the mechanism by which TNAP deficiency causes these craniofacial defects is not yet known. Manifestations of H...
