The general aim is to provide dental assistance to 0-3-year-old children, through an educative-preventive oral health program directed to parents and children comprising the diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and control of the most common clinical situations at this age range (dental caries, dental trauma, alterations of tooth development, etc.).
According to a recent study, baby teeth contain an abundance of stem cells, a very special type of cell that can potentially grow replacement tissue in the body and cure a number of diseases.
DHA in breast milk is important for the developing infant. [10] Rates of DHA production in women are 15% higher than in men. [11] DHA is a major fatty acid in brain phospholipids and the retina. Preliminary research has investigated its potential benefit in Alzheimer's disease, [1] [12] and cardiovascular disease, [13] and other disorders. [1]
Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) is an oxidized form of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It is actively imported into the endoplasmic reticulum of cells via glucose transporters. [ 1 ] It is trapped therein by reduction back to ascorbic acid by glutathione and other thiols . [ 2 ]
The incidence of neonatal teeth varies considerably, between 1:700 and 1:30,000 depending on the type of study; the highest prevalence is found in the only study that relies on personal examination of patients. [3] Natal teeth, and neonatal teeth, can be the baby's normal deciduous teeth, sprouting prematurely. [4]
Teething is the process by which an infant's first teeth (the deciduous teeth, often called "baby teeth" or "milk teeth") appear by emerging through the gums, typically arriving in pairs. The mandibular central incisors are the first primary teeth to erupt, usually between 6 and 10 months of age and usually causes discomfort and pain to the infant.
In baby teeth it affects about 620 million people or 9% of the population. [10] They have become more common in both children and adults in recent years. [11] The disease is most common in the developed world due to greater simple sugar consumption, but less common in the developing world. [6] Caries is Latin for "rottenness". [3]
Through the remineralization caries activity is significantly reduced in comparison with a fluoride treatment alone. [37] In aqueous oral care gels the peptide is present as matrix. It binds directly as matrix to the tooth mineral and forms a stable layer on the teeth. [38] This layer does protect the teeth from acid attacks.
