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.

Summary
The incidence of impacted mandibular canines in a Turkish population was 1.29%. This study found a higher rate than previously reported, suggesting a potential increase in impacted mandibular canine teeth.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Impacted mandibular canines are a clinical concern.
- Understanding their incidence and associated pathology is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the incidence of impacted mandibular canines.
- To identify associated pathologies.
- To classify impacted mandibular canines.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective cohort study of 5022 panoramic radiographs.
- Review of clinical data from patients at Ataturk University.
- Analysis of canine status, patient demographics, and pathology.
Main Results:
Conclusions:
- Maxillary canine impaction is more common than mandibular canine impaction.
- The observed incidence of mandibular canine impaction was higher than previously published.
- This finding may indicate an increasing prevalence of impacted mandibular canine teeth.
