“…Byrne and Vrbic [25] determined a mean vanadium concentration of 3.7 ± 1.5 ng/g for 37 dental enamel samples of subjects from a low caries area of Dalmatia, Zemunik (DMFT < 2, decayed, missing, and filled teeth index), and a normal area, Novigrad (DMFT > 5); Derise and Ritchey [16] identified iodine values of 4.66 ± 0.62 and 4.05 ± 0.41 respectively in enamel and dentin of permanent teeth of children. The significantly higher level of Ba (10.5) was found in deciduous teeth than in the impacted teeth value of 4.3 in the population of children and adults (aged 6 -78) living in an industrial area of Poland and chromium (8.97 ± 11.94) and calcium of 20 ± 11.9 concentrations were found in the deciduous teeth of healthy children from Poland [24].…”

Reference values reflecting the findings of natural concentrations of teeth in a well-defined group of individuals, are indispensable, if one is to interpret results generated for clinical utility. Hence, a comprehensive compilation of literature survey is attempted to make available as a reference guideline for tooth element concentrations. Presently, the reference values are proposed for 19 elements. Several factors that are found influencing element levels, are common to any biosample and are broadly grouped under four categories namely, the factors of teeth, donor, environment and analytical methods. How best the influencing factors to be considered during analysis, are discussed. It is elucidated that standardized method of analysis with quality assurance and precision will reduce the ambiguity of comparison of inter-laboratory measurement. When the merits and demerits of element measurements are evaluated, it is recognized that except a hurdle of difficult specific sampling, many advantages make teeth an attractive material for environmental health monitoring of population and for assessment of element status of deficiency and excess due to differential exposure. The available data of tooth elements are lesser in comparison to data of blood and hair; further studies are required for reference values of others elements and for distribution pattern in different conditions, parts and types of teeth.

“…The types of materials to which activation analysis is being applied has been extended to many diverse and interesting fields. It is still an extremely important tool in geological studies (79, 80,102-107) but is now also being employed in unusual areas such as paleoclimatology ( 108), historical document studies (109), and even dentistry (110). A particularly useful review of neutron activation analysis of geological materials has been written by Laul (111).…”

“…The methods of analysis have been de scribed previously. Vanadium was deter mined by neutron activation analysis [Byrne and Kosta, 1978;Byrne and Vrbic, The concentrations are expressed in ¿rg/g for all elements except vanadium, which is given in ng/g. Each result is the average of 10 measurements in the primary teeth and 20 measurements in the permanent teeth.…”
