“…Boas (1927), comparing two series of Hebrew infants, suggested impaired health of children in one series as the explanation of delayed tooth development, but provided no positive evidence of ill health. Hamil, Reynolds, Poole & Macy (1938) found that children developing mild scurvy and rickets did not differ from a group of healthy infants. Stearns & Meredith (1945) found that male infants ingesting 300-400 USP units of vitamin D daily and having superior records for freedom from illness erupted their incisor teeth earlier than the remainder of children in the study.…”

“…Similarly, Ferguson, Scott & Bakwin (1957) found that boys lead with respect to the eruption of the first tooth and have more teeth than girls at I year of age. Doering & Allen (1942), Sandler (1944), Falkner (I957), Nanda (1960), Lysell, Magnusson & Thilander (1962) and Kosiewski, Waliszko & Wich (1966) found no difference between sexes. In the present series no difference between boys and girls was found at any age.…”

The development of primary teeth in children from a group of Gambian villages, and critical examination of its use for estimating age

1. Numbers of erupted primary teeth were counted in young children in four rural villages in The Gambia. The ages of all children were precisely known, and their heights and weights were measured.2. The majority of children were recorded as having an even number of teeth. The number of primary teeth present in children of given age varied widely. Up to 18 months of age, the Gambian children lagged behind American and European children in number of erupted teeth.3. From the distributions, it appears that a child having no teeth is unlikely to be over 12 months of age, and one with all primary teeth is unlikely to be under 20 months. Between these dental limits, estimates of age from the number of primary teeth present are likely to be accurate to ± 3 or 4 months.4. Children who were tall or heavy for age tended to have more teeth than those who were short or light. Thus, children with delayed dentition would be systematically assessed as younger than true chronological age.5. There was, however, no evidence that slow growth was associated with prolongation of the total period of dental eruption, nor that seasonal variations in rate of growth were associated with similar variations in rate of tooth eruption.

The nutritive advantage of supplementary banana in the diets of children has been demonstrated. Roberts and her co-workers 1 have shown that in an institution 123 boys whose diet was supplemented with two or three bananas daily over a nine month period made a slightly greater mean gain in weight and height than a control group ; they also showed slightly greater progress in ossification of the bones of the wrist and greater mean gains in measurements of arm girth, subcutaneous tissue and weight (Franzen measurements) and also in the scores for these items. These authors emphasized that the differences did not in most cases attain statistical significance, but because the investigation was made on matched groups and the results were consistent in direction they expressed the belief that the differences were real ones attributable to the supplement. The nutritive advantage of the banana has been attributed to its excess alkaline-ash value,2 to special physiologic properties of its gave assistance in the standardization of terminology relating to acid-base metabolism, prior to publication of his monograph on mineral metabolism.
