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.
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.
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...
Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Delayed eruption of permanent teeth is a common pediatric dental concern.
  • Management often involves waiting until the permanent dentition stage for comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
  • Early intervention in the mixed dentition stage can offer alternative treatment pathways.

Observation:

  • A case of delayed permanent tooth eruption during the mixed dentition stage was identified.
  • The primary concern was the potential impact on occlusion and the need for timely management.
  • Parents expressed significant concern regarding the child's dental development.

Findings:

  • Orthodontic management successfully guided the unerupted tooth into occlusion during the mixed dentition stage.
  • The described treatment mechanics were effective in achieving the desired outcome.
  • Comprehensive treatment was avoided by intervening earlier.

Implications:

  • Early orthodontic intervention for unerupted teeth in mixed dentition is feasible and effective.
  • General dentists can readily implement these guided eruption techniques.
  • This approach simplifies treatment and potentially reduces overall treatment time and complexity.
