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...

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:

  • Sociology of oral health
  • Dental sociology
  • Health and social behavior

Background:

  • Complete tooth loss is a significant oral health outcome.
  • Sociological perspectives on oral health are developing.
  • Understanding the social determinants of complete tooth loss is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relevance of status passage theory in the context of complete tooth loss.
  • To analyze the social factors contributing to complete tooth loss.
  • To add to the literature on the sociology of oral health and dentistry.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study using a narrative approach.
  • Interviews with 20 participants (12 women, 8 men) from Nelson, New Zealand, who had teeth removed before 1960.
  • Grounded theory analysis of interview data focusing on family history and events leading to tooth loss.

Main Results:

  • Identified key social factors influencing the status passage into complete tooth loss.
  • Highlighted the importance of scheduling, prescribing, and social context.
  • 'Compound awareness contexts' and perceived reversibility were significant elements.

Conclusions:

  • Status passage theory provides a valuable framework for analyzing complete tooth loss.
  • The theory aids in understanding the temporal and social dimensions of tooth loss trajectories.
  • Further research can explore the 'time-space extensionality' of these experiences.
