“…1 The relationship between the eruption of deciduous teeth and infants' general health has been documented for more than 5,000 years. A variety of physical disturbances have historically been attributed to teething; these include pain, inflammation of the mucous membrane overlying the tooth, irritability, disturbed sleep, facial flushing, drooling, gum irritation, bowel upset, loss of appetite, and ear rubbing on the side of the erupting tooth.…”

Throughout history, teething has been held responsible for a variety of childhood illnesses. The objective of this study was to assess parents' knowledge and beliefs about teething signs and symptoms and to investigate the practices used to alleviate teething troubles. A crosssectional survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire distributed to 550 parents in Udaipur, India. The questionnaire contained three sections eliciting demographic characteristics and assessing parents' knowledge, beliefs, and practices regarding teething. Statistical analysis used descriptive statistics and the chi-squared test (p ≤ 0.05). Response to teething was incorrectly attributed to fever (70%), diarrhea (87.5%), and sleep disturbances (48.2%). Only 33.2% of parents allowed their children to bite on chilled objects to relieve symptoms associated with teething. A common lack of knowledge about teething among parents should encourage dental healthcare providers to educate them regarding the teething process and its management.

“…[8][9][10][11] Although the mechanisms behind the overeruption have not been fully elucidated, several functions including root formation, hydrostatic pressure between tissues investing the tooth crown and its apical extent, and remodeling of bone and periodontal ligament, are believed to cause the overeruption. 12 Thus, a recent review has concluded that overeruption without antagonist is inevitable to occur. 12 However, it should be noted that large inter-individual variations in overeruption were observed and that not all molars showed severe overeruption (≥2.0 mm).…”

“…8 A recent review has concluded that overeruption without antagonist is inevitable to occur. 12 The traditional clinical concept that prosthetic treatment in edentulous area must be made immediately after the extraction of molar tooth to prevent overeruption and development of TMD has been taught in dental schools. This concept may have formulated so-called "28-tooth syndrome" 13 among dentists, which has exerted an influence on dentists' decision for prosthetic replacement in patients with less than 28 teeth to ensure a maximum number of occlusal contacts.…”

Although a traditional clinical concept of prosthetic intervention on molars without antagonist is still believed among a great majority of Japanese dentists, a "wait-and-see" policy seems to be accepted in this clinical situation by some prosthetic specialists. AbstractPurpose: The aim of this questionnaire study was to survey Japanese dentists' perceptions of risks for overeruption of unopposed molars and dentists' attitudes to prosthetic intervention. Methods:A clinical situation with a 42-year-old male patient who just had lost the left mandibular molars was presented. A series of questions was provided regarding what would most probably occur with the unopposed maxillary molars within a 10-year period, what treatment to propose, and indications for the proposed treatment. The questionnaire was sent to the council members of the Japanese prosthodontic society, doctors of Matsumoto Dental University, members of the Nagano and Niigata prefecture dental societies via letter, facsimile or E-mail.Results: 887 of 1320 (67%) dentists returned completed questionnaires. The great majority believed that overeruption of the unopposed molars would occur within a 10-year period (94%). 87% of respondents wanted to perform prosthetic treatment. In contrast, a "wait-and-see" alternative was chosen by only 12%. The most commonly suggested indications for the treatments were the risk for overeruption (96%) followed by impaired masticatory function (77%) and development of TMD (73%). Conclusion:To date, the majority of Japanese dentists seem to believe that overeruption of molars would occur after extraction of antagonists, and that prosthetic interventions are necessary to prevent possible clinical problems.

Abstract:Parents consider tooth eruption to be an important milestone in the child's development. Process of tooth eruption generally referred to as teething is a natural process and may create some discomfort in infants. Parents' false beliefs about signs and symptoms associated with teething may interfere with the prompt diagnosis and management of serious illnesses. Thus, there is a need to distinguish between false beliefs and facts associated with teething. The aims of this study were to assess the nursing mothers' knowledge and belief about teething and to investigate the practices used to manage teething problems. A cross-sectional survey involved 205 mothers presented at pediatric OPD in JSS Hospital, using a validated structured questionnaire. More than 95% of the respondents thought that babies can experience medical problems as a result of teething. The commonest medical problems perceived to be associated with teething were diarrhoea (80.3%), fever (86.6%), loss of appetite (75%) and drooling of saliva (96%). This study showed a common misconception and myths about teething among mothers. Mothers should be better educated about the teething process and the proper management of teething troubles by the dental health care providers.
