Oral Cavity

3.3K
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.

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...

Ostomy Care01:24

Ostomy Care

2.3K
Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Area of Science:

  • Oral Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Contact stomatitis affects up to 10% of the population.
  • It can be triggered by mechanical or chemical irritants, including dental appliances and fillings.
  • Allergic reactions (Type I and Type IV hypersensitivity) to dental products and foods are common causes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the various causal agents of contact stomatitis.
  • To discuss differential diagnoses for oral inflammatory conditions.
  • To outline diagnostic testing and treatment strategies for contact stomatitis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of causal agents, diagnoses, and treatments for contact stomatitis.
  • Analysis of hypersensitivity reactions involved in allergic contact stomatitis.
  • Synthesis of information on diagnostic approaches and therapeutic interventions.

Main Results:

  • Identified mechanical/chemical irritants and allergens in dental products/foods as primary causes.
  • Highlighted the importance of differentiating irritant from allergic mechanisms.
  • Summarized current diagnostic and treatment modalities.

Conclusions:

  • Contact stomatitis has diverse etiologies, primarily irritant or allergic.
  • Accurate diagnosis requires careful consideration of potential triggers and hypersensitivity.
  • Effective management involves identifying and avoiding causal agents, alongside appropriate treatment.
