乳牙釉质发育缺陷的流行病学研究

釉质发育缺陷指牙釉质在发育过程中,硬组织基质形成和矿化受到干扰而导致的缺陷。该疾病可发生于婴幼儿,对婴幼儿乳牙的结构和功能造成影响,长期以来为研究者所关注。该文就近20年来国内外乳牙釉质发育缺陷的流行病学调查情况和其与早期儿童龋病的关系作一综述。

Epidemiological profiles on developing defect of enamel

Developing defect of enamel ( DDE) is the defect resulted from the disturbance in the formation and mineralization of hard tissue matrices during enamel development. Such defect can occur in infants and children in early childhood, and its adverse effects on structure and function of deciduous teeth have raised concern between clinicians and researchers. This paper reviewed epidemiological profiles home and abroad in the past 20 years on developing defect of enamel and its relations with early childhood caries.
