Decreased dentin tubules density and reduced thickness of peritubular dentin in hyperbilirubinemia-related green teeth

Abstract

There was a correlation between childhood hyperbilirubinemia and changes in the dentin morphology, including a decrease in the density of the dentin tubules and a reduction in the thickness of peritubular dentin in green teeth. <b>Key words:</b>Hyperbilirubinemia, liver disease, childhood, dentin tubules, human teeth, scanning electron microscopy.
