Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

1.8K
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...

Teeth

1.5K
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...

Standard Precaution

2.6K
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

4.4K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.7K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

13.1K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dental Practice

Background:

  • COVID-19 emerged as a global pandemic, necessitating understanding of its transmission and impact across professions.
  • Dentists, as frontline healthcare providers, play a crucial role in public health during infectious disease outbreaks.
  • Assessing dentists' knowledge and perceptions is vital for effective public health strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the awareness and perceptions of dentists in Jordan regarding COVID-19.
  • To identify potential gaps in knowledge and attitudes towards the pandemic among dental professionals.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study utilizing a self-administered online survey.
  • Data collected from 368 dentists in Jordan who responded to a survey sent to 700 randomly selected professionals.

Main Results:

  • 36% of surveyed dentists correctly identified the COVID-19 incubation period as 1-14 days.
  • The majority demonstrated awareness of COVID-19 symptoms and patient identification.
  • A concerning 36.7% did not consider COVID-19 a serious public health issue.

Conclusions:

  • Jordanian dentists generally possess adequate knowledge of COVID-19 symptoms and transmission routes.
  • There is a notable disconnect, with a significant minority underestimating the public health severity of the virus.
  • Dental associations should provide updated clinical practice guidelines to dentists during health crises.
