Progress in Orthodontics
|December 5, 2006
Summary
The first SIDO workshop in Cairo gathered twenty countries to assess orthodontics in the Mediterranean. This initiative established the Mediterranean Orthodontic Integration Project (MOIP) for future collaboration and cultural exchange.
Area of Science:
- Orthodontics
- Public Health
- International Collaboration
Background:
- The Society of Interdisciplinary Dentofacial Therapy and Orthodontics (SIDO) organized a pivotal workshop in December 2005 in Cairo.
- The workshop convened representatives from twenty Mediterranean countries to discuss the current state of orthodontics in the region.
Framework:
- The primary objective was to establish a baseline understanding of orthodontic practices and challenges across diverse Mediterranean nations.
- This initiative aimed to lay the groundwork for future collaborative efforts and knowledge sharing within the orthodontic community.
Implementation:
- SIDO introduced "Progress in Orthodontics," a publication in English, Medline-indexed, and freely accessible online, to facilitate scientific and organizational exchange.
- The workshop successfully collected initial data, marking a significant step towards mutual understanding and the establishment of a shared orthodontic culture.
Implications:
- The Mediterranean Orthodontic Integration Project (MOIP) was introduced, providing a foundation for subsequent meetings and discussions.
- This project aims to foster a unified Mediterranean orthodontic culture, promoting global dissemination of regional advancements and expertise.

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...

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
