Abstract
In this mini-review recent developments in dental exposomic fingerprinting and their association with neurodevelopmental
disorders as the autism spectrum dosorders (ASD) are discussed.Sophisticated microspatial techniques enable researchers to read
the growth rings of deciduous teeth like the growth rings of a tree.Dysregulations in fetal zinc-copper metabolism found in this way
appear to predict ASD in later life with 90 percent accuracy.
