Teeth01:15

Teeth

1.4K
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 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...

Essential Minerals for Bone Health01:31

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

5.6K
The minerals contained in all of the food we consume are essential for our organ systems. However, certain essential minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and fluoride, largely affect bone health.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

824
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.

Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health01:25

Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health

4.7K
The growth and maintenance of bone are regulated by a combination of nutritional factors, including vitamins, such as vitamin A, B12, C, D, and K.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition02:35

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

23.6K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Summary

Plant-based milk in the UK often lacks key nutrients like iodine and vitamin B12 found in cow's milk. Many plant milks also contain free sugars, which can be harmful to dental health.

Area of Science:

  • Nutritional Science
  • Dental Public Health

Background:

  • Increasing consumption of plant-based milk alternatives in the UK.
  • Traditional dental recommendations favor cow's milk for oral health benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the nutritional profiles of UK plant-based milks compared to cow's milk.
  • To investigate the rising popularity of plant-based milks and their dental implications.

Main Methods:

  • Identification of branded plant-based milk products in UK supermarkets.
  • Collection of nutritional data from product labels and manufacturer websites (December 2019).

Main Results:

  • Eighty-two plant-based milk products were analyzed.
  • Significant variations in calcium, iodine, vitamin B12, and sugar content were found compared to cow's milk.
  • Sugar content ranged from 0-7.6 g/100 ml across products.

Conclusions:

  • Plant-based milks often have lower iodine levels than dairy milk.
  • Many plant-based milks contain cariogenic free sugars.
  • Dental professionals need awareness of plant-based milk options to advise patients effectively.
