  • Title: Concentrations of metals in maxilla and mandible deciduous and permanent human teeth.
    Author: Fischer A, Wiechuła D, Postek-Stefańska L, Kwapuliński J.
    Journal: Biol Trace Elem Res; 2009 Dec; 132(1-3):19-26. PubMed ID: 19418029.
    Abstract:
    The study shows the results of research on the concentrations of metals (Cd, Pb, Mn, Cu, Cr, Fe, Zn, Na, K, Mg, and Ca) in deciduous and permanent teeth with respect to their location in the oral cavity (maxilla, mandible). It has been found that the concentrations of metals were significantly higher in the deciduous teeth than in permanent ones. Regression analysis and principal component analysis revealed an increased dynamics of the processes of binding the elements by the hydroxyapatite of deciduous teeth. Higher concentrations of the metals were found in the maxilla permanent and deciduous teeth than in the mandible ones.
