Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

3.1K
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

2.4K
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...

Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

4.1K
The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

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.

Development of the Oral Microbiota01:28

Development of the Oral Microbiota

48
The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...

Veneer01:19

Veneer

519
Veneer refers to a thin sheet of wood, typically produced to a thickness of about one-eighth of an inch or less. This material is crafted through various methods, the most common being rotary cutting. In this process, a log is mounted into a large lathe and spun against a knife edge, peeling off a continuous strip of wood as the knife penetrates deeper into the rotating log, creating a rotary-cut veneer.
Other veneering techniques include plain-slicing, quarter-slicing, and rift-slicing. These...

Area of Science:

  • Paediatric Dentistry
  • Public Health
  • Oral Health Research

Background:

  • Recent media coverage has increased public awareness of poor oral health in children.
  • Tens of thousands of children in the UK require multiple dental extractions under general anaesthesia each year.
  • This issue, while not new, has gained significant recent attention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the reasons behind the recent surge in media interest and public awareness of paediatric dental problems.
  • To underscore the prevalence of severe dental decay in children necessitating complex interventions.
  • To discuss the implications for paediatric dentistry and public oral health initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of media coverage and public discourse surrounding children's oral health.
  • Review of existing data on paediatric dental extractions under general anaesthesia in the UK.
  • Discussion of the societal and healthcare factors contributing to the problem.

Main Results:

  • Widespread media reports have significantly heightened public awareness of the scale of children's dental extractions.
  • The practice of multiple dental extractions under general anaesthesia for children is a persistent and substantial issue.
  • Public realization of the extent of poor paediatric oral health has been notably amplified.

Conclusions:

  • The increased media spotlight necessitates a re-evaluation of current public health strategies for children's oral hygiene.
  • Urgent attention and resources are required to address the root causes of extensive dental decay in paediatric populations.
  • Further research and policy interventions are crucial to improve long-term oral health outcomes for children.
