Development of Human Microbiota01:30

Development of Human Microbiota

61
The human microbiota begins developing at birth and undergoes continual change as we age. Infancy marks a critical period of microbial sensitivity, offering a “window of opportunity” during which beneficial microbes help mature the immune system. By age three, children typically develop a more stable and diverse microbial community. Newborns acquire microbes from their immediate environment; vaginal delivery favors maternal vaginal microbes, while cesarean births favor microbes from...

Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

2.8K
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...

Teeth01:15

Teeth

2.2K
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...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

1.6K
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.

Alzheimer Disease l: Introduction01:29

Alzheimer Disease l: Introduction

21
Alzheimer disease is a chronic, progressive, and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia in older adults. It leads to gradual neuronal loss, causing cognitive decline, behavioral changes, and loss of functional independence.Risk Factors and EtiologyThe disease is multifactorial. Age is the strongest risk factor, with prevalence doubling every 5 years after age 65. Genetic factors include mutations in genes such as APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2, which are associated...

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

929
Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Plaque, denture contact, and gingival recession are key risk factors for root caries in institutionalized elders. Managing plaque and denture placement can help prevent root decay in this population.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Dentistry
  • Oral Health Research
  • Caries Etiology

Background:

  • Root caries is a significant oral health concern for institutionalized elders.
  • Identifying specific risk indicators is crucial for targeted prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate risk indicators for root caries in institutionalized elders.
  • To analyze subject-level and site-level factors associated with root caries development.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study involving 306 nonfrail elders from residential homes.
  • Dental examinations by a trained dentist using standard equipment.
  • Two-level logistic regression analyses to assess risk factors.

Main Results:

  • Root surfaces with plaque, denture contact, and gingival recession showed higher caries risk.
  • Upper anterior root surfaces were more frequently affected.
  • Intra-subject correlation of root caries status was significant.

Conclusions:

  • Plaque, denture proximity, and gingival recession are critical site-level risk indicators.
  • Emphasizes the need for enhanced plaque control and optimized denture design in elder care.
  • Strategies to mitigate these factors can reduce root caries incidence in institutionalized elders.
