  • Title: Emergence of deciduous teeth in Punjabi children, north India.
    Author: Kaul SS, Pathak RK, Santosh.
    Journal: Z Morphol Anthropol; 1992 Jun; 79(1):25-34. PubMed ID: 1441721.
    Abstract:
    Data on deciduous tooth emergence of 312 children aged 4 to 31 months of Punjabi parentage are presented. Probit analysis was used to derive the median age of tooth emergence. Female children are found to be advanced with respect to tooth emergence than their male counterparts. While comparing the present data with those from other populations it is found that, in general, the mean number of emerged teeth in Punjabi children is more at most ages, with lower median age of eruption for most teeth. Magnitude of interage variability in the eruption times is noticed to be maximum in the 16-17 and 20-21 months age groups. The findings of the study suggest that number of teeth can be used as a parameter for the estimation of age.
