Teeth

Teeth

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

Tooth 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...

Biofilms

Biofilms

Biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms encased in a self-produced extracellular polysaccharide matrix attached to surfaces. These microbial consortia can include single or multiple species, providing enhanced survival benefits by forming organized, multilayered structures.The formation of biofilms occurs through four key stages: attachment, colonization, development, and dispersal.During attachment, free-swimming planktonic cells adhere to a surface, often facilitated by...

False Memories

False Memories

False memories represent a cognitive distortion in which individuals recall events that did not happen, or remember them in an altered form. This phenomenon highlights the brain's constructive nature in processing and recalling memories, emphasizing that memory is not a perfect representation of past events but rather a dynamic reconstruction influenced by various factors.
One primary source of false memories is misattribution, where individuals incorrectly associate external information...

Area of Science:

Periodontology
Oral Health
Infectious Diseases

Background:

Periodontitis involves pathological loss of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone.
The disease results from complex interactions between herpesviruses, bacteria, and immune responses.
Current diagnostics rely on clinical criteria, offering limited etiological insight and therapeutic guidance.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess advancements in periodontology over the past 25 years.
To identify remaining challenges in understanding and treating periodontitis.
To review current and emerging therapeutic strategies for periodontal disease.

Main Methods:

Review of periodontology literature over the past 25 years.
Analysis of diagnostic criteria and treatment modalities for periodontitis.
Evaluation of the role of herpesviruses, bacteria, and immune responses in periodontitis pathogenesis.

Main Results:

Significant changes in understanding periodontitis pathobiology.
Development of more effective and less costly therapeutic options.
Identification of patient self-care, including sodium hypochlorite rinses, as a valuable adjunct.

Conclusions:

Periodontal diagnostics require refinement beyond clinical criteria.
Therapeutic approaches have evolved, with a shift towards less invasive methods and host modulation.
Further research is needed to resolve the utility of laser treatment and fully elucidate links between periodontal herpesviruses and systemic diseases.
