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...
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.

Tonsillitis II: Management

This lesson will focus on the different treatment options for managing tonsillitis, which typically depend on the cause and severity.
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.
Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure01:23

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

Area of Science:

  • Dental professional satisfaction
  • Career choice determinants in dentistry

Background:

  • Dentistry in Jordan offers high social status.
  • Previous studies have not extensively explored dentists' willingness to re-choose their profession or shifts in expectations over time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if Jordanian dentists would choose dentistry again.
  • To examine changes in professional expectations after years of practice.
  • To identify differences based on gender, age, degree, and workplace.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to a stratified random sample of 355 dentists in Jordan.
  • The survey utilized closed questions to gather data on professional, social, and economic factors.
  • Data was collected on initial career choices and reasons for potentially re-choosing dentistry.

Main Results:

  • 52% of respondents initially chose dentistry based on secondary education grades.
  • 52% would not choose dentistry again, citing acquired health problems and low income.
  • Helping others and social status were key reasons for choosing dentistry.

Conclusions:

  • Over half of surveyed dentists would not re-select dentistry as a career, primarily due to health concerns and income levels.
  • Workplace significantly impacts job satisfaction, with higher dissatisfaction noted among female dentists.
  • Cultural background appears to be a strong influence on career decisions in dentistry.
