Morphological and Chemical Analysis of Dentin and Enamel Layers of Eroded Deciduous Tooth: from imaging to understanding

Alin AYDAR, Bruno BALMA

Abstract


Deciduous teeth are much more sensitive to wear and erosion due to their thin enamel layers. Especially in children, when there are structural jaw problems, dietary habits become very vulnerable to erosion of the teeth. In this study, morphological analysis of the deciduous tooth was made with 2D and 3D SEM studies, and the tooth's erosion was examined. In particular, the formation and development of pits were determined and defined. Both enamel and dentin layers were chemically examined separately, and it was shown that the enamel level was richer in PO4. As a result, it has been shown that multifactorial effects erode the tooth.
