Purpose:
To study the clinical value of routine laboratory examination for dental patients.
Methods:
Routine blood and infectious disease examinations were performed in 464 dental patients.
Results:
For the 374 patients who received routine blood test, the percentage of WBC, HGB, PLT and WBC classification abnormality were 13.6%, 8.5%, 10.4% and 20.3% respectively. For the 369 patients who received coagulation tests, the percentage of PT and APTT abnormality were 1.3% and 1.9%. For the 142 patients who received hepatitis B virus examination, the percentage of HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBe and anti-HBc abnormality were 4.9%, 0.7%,59.8%,17.6% and 40.8%,respectively. The positive rate for hepatitis C, syphilis and HIV inspections were 2.9%(2/70), 0.6%(1/150) and 0.5%(1/199),respectively.
Conclusion:
Routine laboratory and infectious disease examinations are important in diagnosis, medical security and cross infection control in dental clinic.

Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
01:21Tooth Anatomy
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.
01:15Teeth
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...
