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...

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:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Exodontia (tooth extraction) can be challenging for both simple and complex cases.
  • Improving predictability and efficiency in tooth extraction is crucial for better patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and highlight advanced exodontia tips and novel techniques.
  • To discuss new devices that improve the predictability and efficiency of tooth extraction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and emerging technologies in exodontia.
  • Discussion of specific new devices: powered periotome, piezosurgery, and physics forceps.

Main Results:

  • The powered periotome facilitates atraumatic tooth extraction.
  • Piezosurgery is increasingly adopted for outpatient oral surgery.
  • Physics forceps offer a new approach to exodontia procedures.

Conclusions:

  • New technologies and techniques are enhancing exodontia.
  • These advancements lead to more predictable and efficient tooth extractions.
  • Improved patient outcomes are achievable with modern exodontia methods.
