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.
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...
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.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Health
  • Dental Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Limited data exists on the clinical consequences of untreated severe caries.
  • A lack of methods to quantify oral conditions resulting from untreated caries hinders research.
  • The Philippines has developed a novel index to address this data gap.

Purpose:

  • To introduce a new index for quantifying the prevalence and consequences of untreated severe caries.
  • To integrate this index with the existing Decayed Missing Filled Tooth (DMFT) index.
  • To enable research on the impact of untreated caries on general health and well-being.

Summary:

  • A newly developed index in the Philippines records specific oral conditions associated with untreated severe caries.
  • These conditions include pulp exposure, soft tissue ulceration from sharp tooth fragments, and the presence of fistulas or abscesses.
  • The index, when combined with the DMFT index, provides a comprehensive assessment of untreated caries extent and outcomes.

Impact:

  • Provides a quantifiable method to assess the clinical consequences of untreated severe caries.
  • Facilitates epidemiological research on the oral health burden of untreated decay.
  • Enables investigation into the potential links between untreated caries and systemic health in national populations.
