Ages of eruption: study on a sample of 204 Italian children aged 6 to 24 months
Insights
This study evaluated tooth eruption ages in 204 children (6-24 months), observing variations in eruption timing for different teeth. Findings provide insights into typical dental development in infants and toddlers.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Human Growth and Development
Background:
- Tooth eruption timing is a key indicator of child development.
- Variations in eruption patterns can signal underlying health or developmental issues.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate tooth eruption ages in a cohort of Italian children.
- To establish normative eruption data for infants and toddlers aged 6 to 24 months.
Main Methods:
- Longitudinal study of 204 children aged 6-24 months over one year.
- Data collected through regular clinical visits at pediatricians' offices in Sassari, Italy.
- Focus on recording the eruption sequence and timing of all primary teeth.
Main Results:
- Significant variations in tooth eruption ages were observed across all teeth studied.
- The specific timing of eruption differed depending on the individual tooth.
- No specific details on the magnitude or direction of shifts were provided in the abstract.
Conclusions:
- The study highlights variability in primary tooth eruption timelines.
- Understanding these variations is crucial for pediatricians and dentists monitoring child development.
- Further research may be needed to correlate eruption shifts with specific developmental factors.
Aim:
The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the tooth eruption ages in a sample of children aged between 6 and 24 months.
Materials And Methods:
The sample consists of 204 children aged between six and twenty-four months, followed up for a period of one year in collaboration with seven pediatricians in the province of Sassari (Italy). The visits were carried out at the paediatricians' practice in order to receive immediate feedback about the clinical conditions of children.
Results:
Regarding the ages of eruption of all elements it was observed a shift more or less important, depending on the tooth considered.
