Teeth01:15

Teeth

2.2K
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

2.7K
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...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

1.5K
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.

Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

3.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Odontogenic infections can present with atypical symptoms.
  • Maxillary sinusitis can arise from dental procedures.

Observation:

  • An 80-year-old patient developed maxillary sinusitis post-upper molar extraction.
  • Symptoms included fever, neck pain, and stiffness, initially suggesting meningitis.

Findings:

  • Cerebrospinal fluid analysis was normal.
  • CT scan revealed calcification around the axis (dens).
  • The patient was diagnosed with Crowne Dens Syndrome.

Implications:

  • Crowne Dens Syndrome should be considered in elderly patients with dental issues and neurological symptoms.
  • Radiological findings are crucial for differentiating from meningitis.
  • This case highlights the importance of thorough diagnostic workups for complex presentations.
