High impact information on Tooth, Unerupted

• Osteopetrotic mutant rats deficient in CSF-1 activity have unerupted teeth which can be induced to erupt by injections of CSF-1, and osteopetrotic mice deficient in c-fos, have unerupted teeth [1].
• It would appear that a substantial amount of fluoride (approximately 25%) in mature enamel from unerupted teeth can be removed by a deproteinizing agent, which may suggest an association of this fluoride with subsurface organic material [2].
• A t test was performed to compare erupted and unerupted teeth, and ANOVA was used to determine if a significant difference exists based upon tooth angulation [3].
• This case is unusual in having taurodontism, pulpal calcifications, coronal defects prior to tooth eruption and unerupted teeth [4].
• Pre-eruptive processes include intracoronal resorption of unerupted teeth, and the post-eruptive process is occlusal fissure caries [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Tooth, Unerupted

• They considered it to be of less value for a variety of other tasks, including detecting occlusal caries, unerupted teeth or calculus [6].
• Clinical and roentgenographic examinations revealed that there were 17 unerupted teeth and some radiopaque and radiolucent shadows on both jaws [7].
• External resorption occasionally affects the coronal tissues of unerupted teeth [8].
• Use of nickel titanium closed-coil springs to align unerupted teeth: a case report [9].
• A neodymium iron boron magnet is attached to the unerupted tooth, and a second, larger magnet is incorporated in a removable appliance [10].

Anatomical context of Tooth, Unerupted

• The unerupted teeth were gently exposed, gradually repositioned by shifting them bodily toward the occlusal plane without disturbing the periodontal ligament, and splinted for 3 wk [11].
• Fluoride concentrations increased gradually from the age of 10 to 12 years on the premolar surfaces, but were significantly higher in 12-year-olds or older (erupted teeth) than in 10-year-olds or younger (unerupted teeth) [12].
• Eighty percent of hydroxylapatite implanted mandibles showed delay in tooth eruption concurrent with distortion in crown development, and a dense cellular fibro-proliferative response within the follicle of unerupted teeth [13].
