A note on the variation in the timing of deciduous tooth eruption

Emergence of Primary Teeth in Children of Sunsari District of Eastern Nepal

“…Most studies attribute the differences to influential factors such as nutrition, socio-economic status, climate, and environmental factors such as fluoride content in drinking water. However, the results of these studies are inconsistent and inconclusive with regards to a single factor (10,11,16,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29). The differences in fluoride content of drinking water and vast diversity in geographic, environmental and climatic conditions prevailing over short distances in Eastern Nepal make it difficult to single out these factors in our study population and hence the impact of these indicators were not evaluated in this study.…”

Timing of Primary Tooth Eruption in Infants Observed by Their Parents

“…Since parents provide childcare every day, they are likely to observe the emergence of the tooth earlier than if they were to confirm the emergence on the date of the oral examination. Various studies have reported the factors related to the primary tooth eruption time [11][12][13]; factors such as gender and race [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], socioeconomic status [22], birth weight and postnatal development [17,23], nutritional status [19,[24][25][26], and congenital endocrine and metabolic diseases such as hypothyroidism [19,27] have been considered to be associated with the eruption time of the primary tooth. Therefore, the accurate estimation of the primary tooth eruption is important to follow the neurological integrity, physical development, nutrition, socioeconomic state, or underlying diseases of children.…”

Time of Eruption of Primary Dentition in Saudi Children

“…Several studies have considered influential factors such as nutrition, socio-economic status, climate, and premature extraction of deciduous teeth on the time and order of the emergence of teeth, but the results were inconsistent. 8,9 For example, Clemens et al (1953) claimed the mean emergence times of children in a higher socio-economic group tended to be earlier than those in other children. 10 Furthermore, other studies suggested a genetic origin for early or late emergence of teeth.…”
