Aetiological factors of craniomandibular disorders in completely edentulous denture-wearing patients
1Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, School of Dental Science, University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Abstract:
A total of 201 completely edentulous patients awaiting treatment for new complete dentures at the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne were examined for signs and symptoms of craniomandibular disorders, and a history was taken regarding their dentures. Statistical analysis by means of Student's t-test showed that the only reliable indicator of craniomandibular disorder was the patient's sex, i.e. female subjects tend to show more symptoms of craniomandibular disorders than male subjects. When regression and multiple regression analyses were applied, it was found that subjects with a history of fewer sets of complete dentures worn appeared to be correlated with an increase in the number of signs and symptoms of craniomandibular disorders. However, this correlation had a weak predictive power, although it was significant enough to indicate that such a relationship could exist in the general population.

01:29Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

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...

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.
