Teeth

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...

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth 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.

Summary

Mobile dental clinics can improve access for children in Southern Thailand. However, their effectiveness for lower-income families depends on balancing improved access with consistent quality of care.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Dental Public Health
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • Access to dental care for primary school children in Southern Thailand is a significant public health concern.
  • Opportunity costs for parents, such as time off work, often hinder consistent utilization of dental services.
  • Mobile dental clinics are proposed as a strategy to mitigate these barriers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate parents' willingness to pay (WTP) for dental services offered by mobile clinics versus traditional settings.
  • To assess how income influences WTP and the perceived value of dental services in different settings.
  • To determine the factors influencing the potential effectiveness of mobile dental clinics in increasing service utilization.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study measuring parents' willingness to pay (WTP) for dental services.
  • Services were offered in both a community hospital dental clinic and a school-based mobile clinic.
  • Analysis focused on the relationship between WTP, income, and service setting.

Main Results:

  • Service setting did not significantly impact WTP for direct treatment.
  • The association between WTP and parental income was significantly modified by the service setting.
  • The potential for mobile clinics to increase utilization is linked to parental income, with smaller valuation differences between settings for lower-income parents.

Conclusions:

  • Mobile dental clinics show promise for improving dental care access among children in Southern Thailand.
  • The success of mobile clinics is influenced by parental income, with specific considerations for lower-income families.
  • Ensuring that improved access via mobile clinics does not compromise the quality or effectiveness of care is crucial, especially for vulnerable populations.
