Assessment of the Mouth

Assessment of the Mouth

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Background:

Edge chipping is a common failure mode for dental restorations.
Predicting chipping behavior is crucial for material selection and longevity.
Standardized evaluation methods for the edge chipping test are needed.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review literature on the edge chipping test in dentistry.
To evaluate the methods and parameters used in edge chipping tests.
To assess the relevance of the edge chipping test for predicting clinical failures.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature search of MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science up to June 2019.
Inclusion of 20 in vitro studies on human teeth, dental ceramics, and polymer-based composites.
Analysis of evaluation methods and parameters reported in the selected studies.

Main Results:

The edge chipping test is applied to various dental materials including ceramics and composites.
Significant variation exists in the methods and parameters used for the edge chipping test.
Chips generated in vitro often mimic clinically observed chipping failures.

Conclusions:

The edge chipping test is a relevant method for predicting chipping behavior in dental materials and tooth tissues.
The test's ability to replicate clinical failures supports its predictive value.
Further standardization of test parameters could enhance its reliability.
