Tooth 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.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Hygiene
  • Oral Health
  • Clinical Dentistry

Background:

  • Tooth sensitivity affects a significant portion of the adult population.
  • Managing tooth sensitivity is crucial for maintaining oral health and patient comfort.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the Colgate 360 degrees Sensitive toothbrush in reducing tooth sensitivity.
  • To assess changes in tactile and thermal tooth sensitivity over an 8-week period.

Main Methods:

  • A monadic clinical study involving adult participants with sensitive teeth.
  • Participants used the Colgate 360 degrees Sensitive toothbrush and a standard fluoride toothpaste twice daily.
  • Sensitivity was measured using tactile (Yeaple Probe) and thermal (air blast) stimulation at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.

Main Results:

  • After 4 weeks, a statistically significant increase in tactile sensitivity score (5.49 units) and decrease in thermal sensitivity score (0.77 units) were observed.
  • After 8 weeks, further significant improvements were noted with a 13.78-unit increase in tactile sensitivity and a 1.85-unit decrease in thermal sensitivity.
  • These results indicate a progressive reduction in tooth sensitivity over the study duration.

Conclusions:

  • The Colgate 360 degrees Sensitive toothbrush is effective in decreasing tooth sensitivity.
  • The reduction in tooth sensitivity increases with continued use of the toothbrush over time.
