Evaluation of Heavy Metals of Temporary Teeth From Areas with Different Pollution Level
The aim of the paper is to evaluate the heavy metals of temporary teeth collected from areas with various environmental pollution. It is a new approach, trying to correlate the amount of heavy metals determined with inductively plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) in enamel and dentine with hydrophilic properties at interface and the type of teeth. The paper established specific correlation of the teeth type and the amount of heavy metals indicating ranges for girls and boys. Such ranges were proposed for teeth type and hydrophilic character as well.
