Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

2.8K
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

2.3K
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...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

41.0K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

4.7K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...

Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

3.9K
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...

Embryonic Connective Tissues01:20

Embryonic Connective Tissues

7.2K
During early development, the embryo forms two types of connective tissues— the mesenchyme and mucoid connective tissue.
The mesenchyme is the first connective tissue that emerges in the developing embryo. It consists of loosely arranged multipotent mesenchymal cells and reticular fibers in the extracellular matrix. This loose arrangement allows easy migration of cells, which is essential for germ layer positioning, patterning, and organ morphogenesis during embryonic development.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Periodontics

    Background:

    • A 21-year-old male patient required orthodontic re-treatment for dental element 32.
    • The patient presented with significant gingival resorption and buccal root exposure of the involved tooth.

    Observation:

    • The root of dental element 32 was positioned outside the buccal alveolar process.
    • This complex case was presented at a Dutch Dentists' Society event in 2015.

    Findings:

    • The case report focuses on the selection, consideration, and discussion of the optimal treatment strategy.
    • Detailed description of the chosen treatment for severe gingival resorption and root displacement.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between dentists, periodontists, and orthodontists.
    • Provides insights into managing complex orthodontic cases with significant periodontal involvement.
    • Offers a valuable clinical case for dental professionals addressing root malposition and bone loss.
