Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...
Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment 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.
COP Coated Vesicles00:59

COP Coated Vesicles

Membrane-enclosed structures called vesicles transport proteins and lipids across the cell. The vesicles derive their cargo from the plasma membrane, Golgi, ER, or endosome. Coated vesicles are spherical, protein-coated carriers with a 50–100 nm diameter that mediate bidirectional transport between the ER and the Golgi. The distribution of proteins between the ER and Golgi complex is dynamic and is maintained by different coated vesicles. Their formation is driven by the assembly of different...

Area of Science:

  • Medical History
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Early historical perceptions of cleft lip involved superstition and infanticide.
  • The understanding of cleft lip evolved from religious beliefs to early embryological theories.
  • Ancient surgical practices for cleft lip varied, including cautery and early suturing methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To trace the historical evolution of cleft lip understanding and surgical correction.
  • To highlight key figures and techniques that advanced cleft lip treatment.
  • To provide a historical overview of managing the protruding premaxilla in bilateral cleft lip.

Main Methods:

  • Historical literature review focusing on ancient texts, Renaissance surgical publications, and 19th-century medical journals.
  • Analysis of documented surgical procedures and innovations from antiquity to the mid-20th century.
  • Examination of the progression of techniques for addressing the premaxilla in bilateral cleft lip cases.

Main Results:

  • The earliest cleft lip history is marked by superstition, with early surgical interventions documented in China (390 BC).
  • Significant advancements occurred during the Renaissance, with Fabricius ab Aquapendente proposing an embryological basis and Pierre Franco describing the condition.
  • Surgical techniques evolved from cautery (Albucasis) to scalpel-based methods (Yperman), with innovations like the triangular flap (Mirault, Tennison, Randall) and Millard's 'cut as you go' technique.
  • Management of the protruding premaxilla in bilateral cleft lip has transformed from discarding to surgical repositioning and orthodontic approaches.

Conclusions:

  • The history of cleft lip management reflects a transition from superstition to scientific understanding and surgical refinement.
  • Pioneering surgeons and evolving techniques have continuously improved the treatment of cleft lip and palate.
  • Historical perspectives offer valuable insights into the ongoing development of craniofacial surgery and patient care.
