Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

2.6K
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...

Atherosclerosis III: Management

573
Management of atherosclerosis involves an integrated strategy encompassing pharmacological treatment, surgical interventions, lifestyle changes, and nutrition therapy to address the multifactorial nature of the disease.Pharmacological TherapyA cornerstone of atherosclerosis management is the use of pharmacological agents. Statins, such as atorvastatin, are pivotal in inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that catalyzes an initial step in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This reduction in...

Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

3.7K
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
  • Dental Public Health
  • Caries Research

Background:

  • Inconsistent terminology in clinical management of carious lesions hinders scientific clarity.
  • Existing literature lacks standardized terms for caries removal techniques.
  • The International Caries Consensus Collaboration addresses this ambiguity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current terminology for caries removal techniques.
  • To establish agreed-upon terms and definitions for dental caries and carious lesion management.
  • To improve communication among dental professionals and researchers.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a scoping review of literature on caries removal terminology.
  • Defined terms based on clinical consequences of disease (soft, leathery, firm, hard dentine).
  • Established definitions for selective removal, stepwise removal, and nonselective removal to hard dentine.

Main Results:

  • Differentiated between "dental caries management" (disease control) and "carious lesion management" (symptom control).
  • Defined three approaches to carious tissue removal: selective (to soft/firm dentine), stepwise, and nonselective (to hard dentine).
  • Nonselective removal to hard dentine, previously "complete caries removal," is no longer recommended.

Conclusions:

  • Adoption of standardized terminology will enhance understanding and communication in dental research and practice.
  • Clear definitions facilitate consistent application of caries management strategies.
  • The proposed terms address the clinical manifestations of dental caries for improved patient care.
