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...

Tooth Anatomy

2.7K
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...

Graves Disease II: Pathophysiology01:24

Graves Disease II: Pathophysiology

14
Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the production of thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI) that activate TSH receptors, leading to excessive synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and resulting in hyperthyroidism.Among all causes of hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease is the most common and can happen at any age, though it is more frequent in women. It produces a hypermetabolic state with features such as weight loss, tachycardia, tremor,...

Hyperthyroidism II: Pathophysiology

10
Hyperthyroidism is a hypermetabolic state caused by elevated levels of thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). It results from dysregulation at the thyroid, pituitary, or immune system level and affects multiple organ systems.PathophysiologyThe most common cause of hyperthyroidism is Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder in which antibodies, specifically thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAb), a subtype of TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb), bind to and activate TSH...

The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

6.8K
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and covers the anterior surface of the trachea. The gland has two lateral lobes connected by a thin tissue mass called the isthmus. Internally, each lobe comprises many small spherical structures known as thyroid follicles, surrounded by a network of blood vessels.
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

7.5K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Area of Science:

  • Dental Anatomy
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Taurodontism is a developmental anomaly of tooth shape.
  • It results from the failure of Hertwig's epithelial sheath diaphragm to invaginate correctly.
  • Key features include an enlarged pulp chamber and apical displacement of the pulpal floor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of taurodontism.
  • To discuss its etiology, clinical and radiographic features.
  • To highlight associations with syndromes and dental treatment considerations.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of taurodontism.
  • Analysis of etiological factors.
  • Compilation of clinical and radiographic presentations.

Main Results:

  • Taurodontism affects permanent molars most often but can occur in any tooth.
  • It can be an isolated anomaly or associated with syndromes.
  • Clinical challenges and diagnostic needs are emphasized.

Conclusions:

  • Taurodontism is a prevalent dental anomaly requiring greater clinical attention.
  • Accurate diagnosis and management are crucial for affected individuals.
  • Further research into its implications and treatment is warranted.
