| description | The concentration of lead (Pb) in teeth can be used as an index of environmental pollution. Primary teeth are easily obtained for testing as they exfoliate when the permanent teeth erupt, and permanent (adult) teeth can be obtained from extractions.[PMID: 8031185] Several studies have found evidence that early-childhood mildly elevated dentin Pb levels are associated with small, but relatively long-term, deficits in attention behaviors and cognitive abilities. [PMID: 8444993]. | |

| property | MCnt = Mass Content | |
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | |
| system | Dentin | |
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | |
