Calcium and phosphate are the major components of hydroxyapatite crystals that form the inorganic portion of the teeth. Apart from these, certain elements are present in little amounts in enamel and dentin of the human teeth. Although they are required in minute quantities, their absence may alter healthy development of enamel and dentin and may result in developmental tooth defects as well as dental caries. Furthermore, excessive intake of some trace elements may inversely affect tooth development and health. The exact of effects that trace elements have on teeth and oral health is still an unexplored territory. The present paper reviews the presence of trace elements in teeth and their role in tooth health and development.
钙和磷是构成牙齿无机部分的羟基磷灰石晶体的主要成分。除此之外,某些元素在人类牙齿的釉质和牙本质中含量极少。尽管它们需求量微小,但缺乏这些元素可能会改变釉质和牙本质的健康发育,并可能导致牙齿发育缺陷以及龋齿。此外,过量摄入某些微量元素可能会对牙齿发育和健康产生负面影响。微量元素对牙齿和口腔健康的确切影响仍是一个未被探索的领域。本文综述了牙齿中微量元素的存在情况及其在牙齿健康和发育中的作用。
