Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

1.7K
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...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

761
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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

For most complete denture wearers, the occlusal scheme has minimal impact on function. However, bilateral balanced occlusion may be necessary for patients with significant stability and retention issues.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • The optimal occlusal scheme for complete dentures remains a subject of debate.
  • Understanding the impact of different occlusal schemes is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the existing literature on occlusal schemes for complete dentures.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted, focusing on meta-analyses, systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and clinical trials.
  • Keywords included "Complete dentures," "occlusion," "harm," "alveolar bone loss," "stability," and related terms.
  • Articles were culled from PubMed searches and authors' reference lists.

Main Results:

  • Of 165 initial articles, 34 were relevant and evaluated.
  • No strong evidence supports or refutes bilateral balanced occlusal schemes for patient satisfaction or chewing ability.
  • Some evidence suggests increased alveolar bone loss with non-balanced occlusions.

Conclusions:

  • Average complete denture patients with good ridge support function adequately with various occlusal schemes.
  • Bilateral balanced occlusal schemes are indicated for patients with severe stability and retention problems (PDI III and IV).
  • Further research is needed to clarify the long-term effects of different occlusal schemes.
