    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...

    Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in dentistry offers various treatments, with many under scientific investigation for effectiveness. Patients seek CAM therapies to reduce costs and avoid invasive dental procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)

    Background:

    • Dental patients increasingly seek complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies.
    • Patient interest is driven by desires for cost savings and avoidance of invasive dental procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the scope of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in dentistry.
    • To categorize different CAM modalities currently under scientific investigation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of various complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatment modalities in dentistry.
    • Categorization of CAM therapies including Alternative Medical Systems, Mind-Body Interventions, Biologically-Based Therapy, Manipulative and Body-Based Methods, and Energy Therapy.
