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...

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...

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,...

Summary

Supernumerary teeth, extra teeth, were found in 1.6% of Nepalese children. The most common type was mesiodens, often with a conical shape.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Dental Anomalies
  • Oral Health Research

Background:

  • Supernumerary teeth are a common dental anomaly.
  • Understanding their prevalence and characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence and characteristics of supernumerary teeth in Nepalese children.
  • To analyze demographic variables, location, eruption status, and morphology of these teeth.

Main Methods:

  • A survey of 2684 children aged 6-14 years in Nepal.
  • Recording of demographic data, number, location, eruption status, and morphology for identified supernumerary teeth.
  • Descriptive statistical analysis of the collected data.

Main Results:

  • Supernumerary teeth were detected in 1.6% of subjects (46 children).
  • Mesiodens was the most frequent type, followed by maxillary premolars and lateral incisors.
  • Conical morphology (58.18%) was most common, with the majority of teeth being erupted (56.36%).

Conclusions:

  • The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in Nepalese children is 1.6%.
  • Mesiodens is the most common supernumerary tooth, typically with a conical morphology.
  • These findings contribute to the understanding of dental anomalies in pediatric populations.
