Summary
This review examines Brazilian dental care models, including the Incremental System, highlighting a shared issue of client exclusion hindering service access. Understanding these models is crucial for improving public oral health strategies.
Area of Science:
- Oral Health Policy
- Public Health Dentistry
- Healthcare Systems Analysis
Context:
- Dental care models in Brazil are diverse, encompassing the Incremental System, Inversion of Care, Early Dental Care, and Family Health Programs.
- A comprehensive literature review was conducted to analyze the evolution, principles, advantages, and disadvantages of these models.
- Previous research has not adequately addressed the systemic barriers to accessing dental care services within these frameworks.
Purpose:
- To conduct a literature review on dental care models in Brazil.
- To specifically analyze the Incremental System alongside other prevalent models.
- To identify common deficiencies impacting access to dental care services.
Summary:
- The review analyzed various Brazilian dental care models, including the Incremental System, Inversion of Care, Early Dental Care, and Family Health Programs.
- Pros, cons, origins, principles, and evolution of each model were examined.
- A consistent finding across models was the exclusion of clientele, limiting access to dental care.
Impact:
- Identifies a critical barrier to effective public oral health service delivery in Brazil.
- Provides insights for policymakers to reformulate dental care strategies and improve accessibility.
- Suggests a need for inclusive approaches in designing and implementing future dental care programs.

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.

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
