Abstract:
The aim of this research was to study the eruption time of permanent teeth in malnutritional children of primary school Si Sa Ket province. The total sample size was 337, aged between 6-16 years. The results from the study showed that there were significantly delay in time of eruption of permanent teeth in malnutrition group when compared to the normal group of other study. The pattern of permanent dentition in malnutrition group coincided with those normal group of other study. There was high correlation between age and height, weight and eruption time of permanent teeth. Age estimation can be done through Regression equation based on eruption time of permanent teeth scores.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...
Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
