Résumé

Douze dents de lait d'enfants citadins, dont deux ayant une intoxication saturnine reconnue, ont été examinées par un microanalyseur à sonde électronique. On a retrouvé du plomb dans toutes les dents, avant tout à la périférie des zones hypominéralisées; mais pas à la surface de l'émail. Les résultats suggèrent que le plomb est incorporé dans la dent pendant la formation de la matrice et sa minéralisation, ainsi que durant la formation de la racine et du dépot de dentine secondaire.
