The prevalence of interdental gingival inflammation: a report from the 1986 ADA annual health screening
Journal of the American Dental Association (1939)
|April 1, 1989
Abstract:
This study screened 1986 ADA annual session participants for interdental gingival inflammation by using the Eastman Interdental Bleeding Index (EIBI). The EIBI provides a sensitive and objective measure of interdental gingival inflammation, and has been shown to be reliable. At least one bleeding site was found in 81% of the 435 dentists examined. This study showed that in a dental population, the prevalence of gingival inflammation was high when the health of interdental tissues was assessed.

01:21Tooth Anatomy
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 grinding food.

01:27The Oral Microbiota
The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...
