Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

4.0K
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.

Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

3.0K
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...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

8.1K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

783
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.6K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Anatomy
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Buccal exostoses are non-malignant bony growths on the facial aspect of the maxilla or mandible, typically in the premolar/molar regions.
  • Etiology is unclear, but increased masticatory forces are hypothesized.
  • These growths usually appear in early adolescence and progress slowly.

Observation:

  • The article details an exceptionally rare instance of bilateral buccal-sided maxillary exostoses.
  • These exostoses, though painless, can cause esthetic concerns and impede oral hygiene.
  • Food lodgment due to exostoses can compromise periodontal health.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration was performed for the bilateral maxillary exostoses.
  • The management focused on addressing the esthetic and functional challenges posed by the growths.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering surgical intervention for symptomatic buccal exostoses.
  • Understanding the presentation and management of rare bilateral cases contributes to clinical knowledge.
  • Further research into the etiology of buccal exostoses may inform preventative strategies.
