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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

New graft materials offer improved patient satisfaction and aesthetics for soft tissue augmentation around teeth and implants, though they don't surpass subepithelial connective grafts (SCTG). These alternatives provide benefits like abundance and reduced surgical time.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Dental Implantology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Assessing the efficacy of novel graft materials for soft tissue augmentation around teeth and dental implants.
  • Evaluating alternatives to traditional grafts in periodontal plastic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and compare the outcomes of new soft tissue graft materials against the gold standard, subepithelial connective graft (SCTG).
  • To determine the effectiveness of allogeneic grafts, xenogeneic collagen matrix, guided tissue regeneration (GTRC), living cellular constructs (LCC), and biologic agents.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted an electronic search of PubMed for English articles published before March 31, 2012.
  • Utilized keywords including "root coverage," "soft tissue graft," "periodontal plastic surgery," and specific material names like "acellular dermal matrix (ADM)" and "collagen matrix."
  • Included studies featuring new graft materials and compared their outcomes to SCTG.

Main Results:

  • Allogeneic grafts showed comparable results to SCTG for root coverage and keratinized tissue gain.
  • Xenogeneic collagen matrix was comparable for keratinized tissue gain but inferior for root coverage.
  • GTRC and LCC demonstrated inferior root coverage and keratinized tissue gain, respectively, compared to controls, though LCC offered better aesthetics and patient satisfaction.
  • Biologic agents did not significantly impact root coverage or keratinized tissue gain.

Conclusions:

  • While new graft materials may not exceed SCTG in all parameters, they offer significant advantages.
  • These advantages include enhanced patient satisfaction, improved aesthetics, greater availability, and reduced surgical time and postoperative discomfort.
  • These findings support the consideration of newer materials as viable options in soft tissue augmentation procedures.
