Abstract:
The functional differences between breast-feeding and bottle-feeding may have a significant effect on dento-facial development and on the genesis of some severe malocclusions. Orthodontists should be aware of this sometimes under-estimated aspect of development. They should, in conformity with their role as professional health care providers, advise long-term breast feeding as a way of preventing certain disorders or, at least, reducing their severity.

01:15Teeth
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

01:15Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.
