“…For example, Skinner et al (2014) revealed that localized enamel defects occur more frequently in pigs that are sick at the time of death and that they co-occur with both infection and poor growth. Numerous studies have found that low birth weight and preterm birth are associated with increased risk of enamel hypoplasia and that maternal health plays a role in enamel hypoplasia formation in children (Gravina et al 2013;Jacobsen et al 2014;Masumo et al 2013;Silva-Sousa et al 2003;Souza et al 2012). Research among living people indicates that children with enamel hypoplasia are of significantly shorter stature than those without them (Lukacs et al 2001).…”

More than 20 years ago, Wood et al. (Curr Anthropol 33:343-370, 1992) published ''The Osteological Paradox: Problems of Inferring Prehistoric Health from Skeletal Samples,'' in which they challenged bioarchaeologists to consider the effects of heterogeneous frailty and selective mortality on health inferences in past populations. Here, we review the paper's impact on bioarchaeology and paleopathology, focusing on recent advancements in studies of ancient health. We find the paper is often cited but infrequently engaged in a meaningful way. Despite an initial decade of limited progress, numerous researchers are now addressing components of the Paradox in more informed ways. We identify four areas of fruitful research: (1) intrasite, contextual perspectives, (2) subadults, (3) associating stress markers with demographic phenomena, and (4) skeletal lesion-formation processes. Although often seen as a problematic assumption, understanding the sources of heterogeneous frailty within human populations is a worthy research question in and of itself, and one that clearly links past and present health research within a global framework.

AMAÇ: Prematüre doğan çocukların süt dişlerinde izlenen gelişimsel mine defektlerinin (GMD) görülme sıklığı ve tiplerinin, normal doğum yaşında dünyaya gelmiş çocuklar ile karşılaştırılmasıdır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Araştırmaya 150 çocuk dahil edildi. Çocuklar, prematüre doğan (n=75, yaş=7.1±2.9 yıl) ve normal doğum yaşında doğmuş çocuklar (kontrol grubu, n=75, yaş=7.6±2.5 yıl) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Klinik muayenede her iki grupta GMD olup olmadığı belirlendi. GMD belirlenen dişler, Modifiye GMD İndeksindeki tiplere göre sınıflandırıldı. Veriler Pearson ki-kare, Fisher'in kesin testi ve t-testi kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. BULGULAR: Prematüre grubunda 34/75 (%45.3) çocukta, kontrol grubunda ise 15/75 (%20) çocukta GMD saptandı (p<0.01). Çalışmada toplam 193 dişte GMD tespit edildi. Prematüre grupta GMD görülme sıklığı (n=148, %76.7), kontrol grubundan (n=45, %23.3) daha fazlaydı. En fazla GMD, prematüre grubunda maksiller keser dişlerde, kontrol grubunda ise maksiller molar dişlerde izlendi. Prematüre grubundaki GMD'nin %88.5'i (n=131) mine opasitesi (sınırlı beyaz/krem rengi opasite, sınırlı sarı/kahverengi opasite, diffüz çizgi şeklinde opasite ve diffüz yamalı opasite) ve %11.5'i (n=17) mine hipoplazisi tipindeyken; kontrol grubundaki dişlerin tümünde mine opasitesi (n=45, %100) şeklindeydi. Prematüre grubunda, minede sınırlı beyaz/krem rengi opasite ve sınırlı sarı/kahverengi opasite bulunan diş sayısı kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde fazla bulundu (p<0.01). SONUÇ: Çalışmanın sonuçları, prematüre doğan çocukların süt dişlerinde normal doğum yaşında dünyaya gelmiş çocuklardan daha fazla GMD görüldüğünü, bu defektlerin çoğunlukla maksiller kesici dişlerde ve minede sınırlı opasite şeklinde ortaya çıktığını gösterdi.

“…The circumstances of premature birth can result in structural anomalies of the enamel of the primary dentition, as evidenced by a number of publications [22,44,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. The results of these studies are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…Structural defects of both the primary and the permanent dentition imply an increased risk of caries and aesthetic problems. Furthermore, the associated increase in dental sensitivity has a negative impact upon the quality of life of the patient, which in turn can result in worsened oral hygiene [54,65]. A systematic review conducted by Jacobsen et al [69] concluded that there is a relationship between premature delivery and structural enamel defects of the primary dentition -with hypoplasia being the most common alteration.…”

Background Preterm delivery, defined as delivery occurring before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy, represents 6-10% of all births in developed countries. Preterm infants are characterized by a short prenatal development period and are at an increased risk of systemic disorders as a result of their immaturity. Few studies have analyzed oral alterations among preterm infants. This systematic review examines the orofacial characteristics most commonly found among preterm infants versus infants born at term, and evaluates their repercussions upon oral health and quality of life. Methods The search was limited to articles published in English or Spanish and that studied the prevalence of oral sequelae and alterations in preterm children. Their methodological quality was assessed based on the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Results Most of the studies found the prevalence of structural enamel defects of the primary dentition to be greater among preterm infants. Other disorders such as structural enamel defects of the permanent dentition, caries, malocclusions or alterations in dental composition, size and development also appeared to be more frequent among preterm infants, though the supporting evidence was weak. Conclusions Further studies are needed, analyzing the association between preterm delivery and certain orofacial disorders such as caries, malocclusions and dental anomalies.
