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...

Teeth

2.1K
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...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

14.6K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is linked to oral hygiene products and periodontal issues. Psychological stress, obsessive-compulsive, and hostility symptoms may also increase DH risk, suggesting a need for integrated dental and psychological care.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) presents a significant clinical challenge.
  • Identifying associated risk factors is crucial for early diagnosis and prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine clinical and psychological risk factors for dentine hypersensitivity (DH).
  • To inform early diagnosis and preventive strategies for DH.

Main Methods:

  • A nested case-control study involving 61 DH cases and 122 controls (2011-2012).
  • Matched participants by sex, age, and socioeconomic status.
  • Assessed DH via patient interviews and dental examinations.
  • Investigated clinical factors (hygiene, periodontal disease, diet) and psychological factors (stress, psychopathological symptoms) using PSS-10 and SCL-90-R.

Main Results:

  • Toothpaste abrasivity (OR 1.881), gingival recession (OR 2.196), and periodontal therapy (OR 5.357) were significantly associated with DH.
  • While perceived stress, obsessive-compulsive, and hostility symptoms showed higher odds of DH, these associations were not statistically significant in this study.

Conclusions:

  • Oral hygiene product characteristics and periodontal health are key clinical risk factors for DH.
  • Psychological distress, including perceived stress and specific psychopathological symptoms, may contribute to DH risk.
  • Integrated dental counseling addressing oral hygiene, periodontal status, and psychological well-being is recommended for DH prevention.
