Disease relevance of Tooth Discoloration

• BACKGROUND: Although chloramphenicol and doxycycline have been used for the treatment of scrub typhus, a difficulty exists in determining which drug to use in treating children because of such potential complications as aplastic anemia or tooth discoloration [1].
• An immunocompromised 11-year-old girl with cellulitis of the toe experienced tooth discoloration after receiving a 28-day course of linezolid [2].
• There are no previous reports of tooth discoloration resulting from ABO blood group incompatibility [3].

Psychiatry related information on Tooth Discoloration

• Individual differences in tooth discoloration have been observed after using chlorhexidine mouth rinses [4].

High impact information on Tooth Discoloration

• Minocycline-associated tooth discoloration in young adults [5].
• Triple therapy with bismuth, tetracycline, and metronidazole is considered the gold standard for adult patients; however, tetracyclines are not recommended in children younger than 8 years due to the potential for tooth discoloration and alterations in bone growth [6].
• Affected family members share common radiologic features with clinically varied expression of tooth discoloration and occlusal wear [7].
• The commonest types of intrinsic tooth discoloration were enamel opacities (23.0%), tetracycline staining (9.2%) and enamel hypoplasia (7.3%) [8].
• Adult-onset tooth discoloration following long-term ingestion of tetracycline and minocycline has also been reported [9].

Chemical compound and disease context of Tooth Discoloration

• Stainers and non-stainers were selected on the basis of their individual tendency to develop extrinsic tooth discolorations from a chlorhexidine mouth rinse [10].
• Tooth discoloration due to isocyanate exposure [11]?
