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...

Oral Cavity

3.6K
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...

Atherosclerosis I: Introduction01:30

Atherosclerosis I: Introduction

1.8K
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disorder characterized by the buildup of plaques on the arterial inner wall, causing them to narrow and harden over time. These plaques comprise lipids, calcium, blood components, carbohydrates, and fibrous tissue. The process primarily affects the intima of large and medium-sized arteries, reducing blood flow in any artery.Etiology and risk factorsThe cause of atherosclerosis is multifactorial, involving a complex interplay among endothelial injury, lipid...

Coronary Artery Disease I: Introduction

1.4K
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): An Overview with Scientific InsightsCoronary Artery Disease (CAD), often referred to as C-A-D, is a prevalent blood vessel disorder classified under the broader category of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a pathological process characterized by the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques. These plaques are composed of cholesterol, fatty substances, inflammatory cells, calcium, and fibrin, reducing blood flow to...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Summary

Accidental discovery of foreign objects in a tooth, like beads, during endodontic procedures is possible. Simple clinical techniques can remove these objects with minimal damage to tooth structure.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Foreign objects in teeth are often discovered incidentally.
  • Thorough case history, clinical, and radiographic assessments are crucial for identifying foreign body characteristics and retrieval challenges.

Observation:

  • An 11-year-old girl presented with two beads, one radiopaque and one radiolucent, lodged in the same tooth at separate locations.
  • The patient initially withheld information due to fear, leading to the accidental discovery during a routine endodontic procedure.

Findings:

  • Two distinct foreign bodies (beads) were identified within a single tooth.
  • Both objects were successfully retrieved using a straightforward clinical approach.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of comprehensive diagnostic methods in endodontics.
  • Simple clinical procedures can effectively manage accidental foreign body discoveries in teeth, preserving tooth structure.
