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.

Summary

Bilateral balanced occlusion is not essential for successful conventional complete dentures (CDs) in most patients. Further research is needed to determine if specific cases require balanced occlusion for optimal denture outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental Occlusion

Background:

  • Complete dentures (CDs) are crucial for restoring function and aesthetics in edentulous patients.
  • The role of specific occlusal schemes, such as bilateral balanced occlusion and canine-guided occlusion, in denture success remains a subject of clinical debate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing bilateral balanced and canine-guided dentures.
  • To evaluate whether bilateral balanced occlusion is a mandatory requirement for successful conventional complete denture treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, LILACS, BBD).
  • Keywords used included "denture" and "occlusion".
  • Seven RCTs meeting inclusion criteria (comparing bilateral balanced vs. canine-guided dentures in conventional complete denture wearers, assessing masticatory function and/or patient satisfaction) were selected.

Main Results:

  • An initial search yielded 5166 articles, with 5156 excluded based on title and abstract review.
  • Seven randomized controlled trials were ultimately included in the final analysis.
  • The eligible studies provided data on the comparative efficacy of the two occlusal schemes.

Conclusions:

  • Current evidence indicates that bilateral balanced occlusion is not imperative for successful conventional complete denture treatment in the average patient population.
  • Additional research is warranted to identify specific patient subgroups or clinical scenarios where a balanced occlusion may confer benefits.
