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...

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

7.0K
The minerals contained in all of the food we consume are essential for our organ systems. However, certain essential minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and fluoride, largely affect bone health.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a significant developmental dental defect with varying prevalence globally.
  • It presents challenges for patients, including tooth sensitivity, caries, and aesthetic concerns, and for clinicians, involving complex treatment planning and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the etio-pathogenesis, prevalence, clinical and diagnostic features of MIH.
  • To present a sequential treatment approach based on current clinical practice guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of etio-pathogenesis, prevalence, clinical presentation, and diagnostic criteria for MIH.
  • Synthesis of information to propose a structured treatment strategy.

Main Results:

  • MIH prevalence varies widely (2.4-40.2%) across different regions and birth cohorts.
  • Patient implications include hypersensitivity, rapid caries, mastication issues, and esthetic problems.
  • Clinical implications involve complex treatment planning, restoration challenges, pain control, and behavior management.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive understanding of MIH etio-pathogenesis and clinical features is crucial.
  • A sequential treatment approach, guided by clinical practice guidelines, is recommended for managing MIH effectively.
