Periodontal status in a Hutterite population
Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology
|December 1, 1989
Abstract:
The periodontal status of a population of 117 adult Hutterites living in Saskatchewan, Canada, was assessed. Despite poor oral hygiene levels, and inadequate dental knowledge, the presence of periodontitis was low. The findings are in accordance with data obtained recently from other selected populations.

01:15Teeth
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...

01:27The Oral Microbiota
The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...
