Eruption Status of Primary Teeth in Low Birth Weight Children in Comparison to Normal Birth Weight Childern

Eruption Status of Primary Teeth and BMI in Low Birth Weight Children in Comparison to Normal Birth Weight Children

determine the status of eruption of primary teeth and physical growth in children aged from 6 to 36 months with low birth weight in comparison to normal birth weight

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Eruption Statues of Primary Teeth in LBW Children

Detailed Description

Timing of eruption of primary teeth is an urgent question for every mother especially in low birth weight children. Although, the timing of eruption of primary teeth and their sequence of eruption shown to be under the genetic control , pre-natal maternal conditions, early childhood metabolic and nutritional factors along with socioeconomic states have been associated with the timing of eruption of primary teeth.

Many factors may affect the timing of eruption. Literature showed that factors like gender, race and physical growth may influence emergence of tooth in child mouth but there is scarce information on Egyptian children .
