Teeth01:15

Teeth

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...
Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
Tooth Anatomy01:21

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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Dental ankylosis, where teeth fuse to bone, causes eruption and aesthetic issues. Current research lacks randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to determine the most effective treatments for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dental science
  • Oral surgery
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Dental ankylosis is a condition where teeth fuse to surrounding bone following trauma.
  • This fusion prevents normal eruption of permanent teeth, leading to displacement, functional impairment, and aesthetic concerns.
  • Ankylosis is also linked to root resorption, potentially causing tooth loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and assess the effects of various treatment options for ankylosed permanent front teeth.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases including Cochrane, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and LILACS up to September 2009.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing any intervention for treating displaced ankylosed permanent front teeth.
  • Study selection and data extraction were planned to be performed by two independent reviewers, adhering to Cochrane Collaboration guidelines.

Main Results:

  • The systematic search identified 77 references.
  • However, none of the retrieved studies met the inclusion criteria for randomized controlled trials.
  • Consequently, no studies were included in the review.

Conclusions:

  • There is a significant lack of high-level evidence from RCTs regarding the comparative effectiveness of different treatments for dental ankylosis.
  • The absence of robust clinical trial data highlights an urgent need for well-designed studies to guide the management of ankylosed permanent front teeth.
