Nutritional concern for Ca2+, P, Mg, +D
Alveolar bone quality
Nutritional concern for Vita C
Collagen formation of soft tissue
Nutritional concern for malnutrition
Delayed tooth eruption
Nutritional concern for protein deficiency
Tooth size and eruption sequence
Presence or lack of ______ can make the difference between high-functioning salivary glands and deficient size function of salivary glands. Saliva plays a critical role in ________.
- Nutrients
- Caries prevention
Presence or lack of _____ can make the difference between healthy periodontal tissues that are resistant to bacterial invasion and those that form periodontal pockets.
Nutrients
Macro nutrients
- Protein
- Carbohydrates
- Fats
- Water
Micro nutrients
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin K
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B complex
- Calcium and phosphorus
- Iron
- Zinc
Vitamin A function
Synthesizes epithelial tissues
Vitamain A Preeruptive
- Assists in formation of salivary glands, enamel, and dentin
- Deficiency may contribute to cleft lip and palate
Vitamin A Post eruptive
-Maintains epithelial tissues and keeps salivary glands working
• Maintains integrity of sulcular epithelium
• Deficiency may cause glands to atrophy and keratinize periodontal tissues
Effect of Maternal Nutritional Deficiency of Vitamin A
- Enamel hypoplasia is increased
- Decreased epithelial tissue development
- Tooth morphogenesis dysfunction
Effect of Maternal Nutritional Deficiency of Vitamin A and Folic Acid
Cleft lip/palate
Vitamin D function
Enhances absorption of calcium and phosphorus
Vitamin D Pre eruptive
- Aids with calcification of all hard tissues.
* Deficiency could cause enamel or dentin hyperplasia.
Vitamin D Post eruptive
- Helps repair diseased bone
- Supports immune function
- Deficiency causes osteomalacia and loss of lamina dura
Effect of Maternal Nutritional Deficiency of Vitamin D
Enamel hypoplasia
