Conditions
Brief summary
determine the status of eruption of primary teeth and physical growth in children aged from 6 to 36 months with low birth weight in comparison to normal birth weight
Detailed description
Timing of eruption of primary teeth is an urgent question for every mother especially in low birth weight children. Although, the timing of eruption of primary teeth and their sequence of eruption shown to be under the genetic control , pre-natal maternal conditions, early childhood metabolic and nutritional factors along with socioeconomic states have been associated with the timing of eruption of primary teeth. Many factors may affect the timing of eruption. Literature showed that factors like gender, race and physical growth may influence emergence of tooth in child mouth but there is scarce information on Egyptian children .
