Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

3.2K
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...

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

324
Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Glinides01:06

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Glinides

687
Repaglinide (Prandin) and Nateglinide (Starlix), known as glinides, are oral insulin secretagogues that stimulate insulin release from pancreatic β cells by closing the ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channel). Repaglinide controls insulin release from pancreatic β cells by managing potassium efflux. It shares two binding sites with sulfonylureas and also has a unique site, indicating overlapping mechanisms of action. With a rapid onset and a 4-7 hour duration, it effectively...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Oral01:16

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Oral

3.2K
The oral stage is the initial phase of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, occurring from birth to approximately 12 to 18 months. During this period, the infant's mouth serves as the primary source of pleasure, with actions such as sucking, chewing, biting, and drinking playing a crucial role in reducing tension. These activities are essential not only for nourishment but also for the infant's psychological and emotional satisfaction.
Weaning, typically occurring...

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Sulfonylureas01:17

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Sulfonylureas

1.2K
Sulfonylureas are oral hypoglycemic agents utilized in treating type 2 diabetes. They are characterized by their unique sulfonylurea chemical structure. The family of sulfonylureas is divided into generations. First-generation sulfonylureas, including tolbutamide (Orinase), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), and tolazamide (Tolinase), trigger insulin release from pancreatic β cells and enhance peripheral tissues' insulin sensitivity. The second-generation members, such as glipizide...

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral01:14

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral

1.7K
Here are the steps to accurately measure oral temperature using an electronic thermometer:
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Global Oral Health
  • Cultural Practices and Health

Background:

  • Ebinyo is a traditional practice in some African communities involving the removal of infant primary canine tooth follicles.
  • This procedure is performed by traditional healers or elders, often using unsterilized instruments and without anesthesia.

Observation:

  • A case study of a child adopted from a remote African tribe presented with consequences of ebinyo.
  • Clinical examination revealed the absence of primary maxillary and mandibular canines.
  • Radiographic analysis identified a dysmorphic, ectopic, unerupted primary maxillary right canine and partial/complete absence of other primary canines.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited missing primary maxillary and mandibular canines.
  • A dysmorphic, unerupted primary maxillary right canine was noted.
  • Absence of primary maxillary left, mandibular left, and mandibular right canines was confirmed radiographically.

Implications:

  • The practice of ebinyo poses significant risks for infant oral health.
  • Potential complications include trauma to developing permanent tooth buds, possibly leading to hypoplasia.
  • This case highlights the serious health implications of infant oral mutilation and the need for awareness and intervention.
