Endodontic treatment in young permanent teeth. Prevalence, quality and potential risk factors
1Department of Paediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Odontology, Malmö University, Sweden.
Abstract:
National epidemiologic data on oral health in children and adolescents in Sweden are restricted to caries, such as the number of decayed and filled teeth (DFT) and decayed and filled surfaces (DFS). Information about more complicated and time-consuming procedures such as endodontic treatment is scarce. The aims were to study the prevalence, quality and potential risk factors for endodontic treatment in young permanent teeth. The material consisted of dental records and radiographs. The subjects were all 19-year-olds born in 1979 (paper I-III) and all 15-year-olds born in 1990 (paper IV) belonging to the public dental clinics in Malmo. Paper III also included a control group.

Teeth
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...
Tooth Anatomy
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.
Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin create...
