Abstract:
Objective: The purpose of the hereby paper consisted in the study of particularities of the chemical composition of dental enamel in children suffering from severe neuromotor disabilities associated with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Material and methods. Using the Fourier transform spectroscopy method (FTIR) we have studied the structure and the chemical composition of various areas of the dental enamel, namely 64 pieces of enamel prepared from 32 teeth extracted from children aged between 13 and 17, following orthodontic indications.
