Tooth Anatomy

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...

Formation of Complex Ions

24.6K
A type of Lewis acid-base chemistry involves the formation of a complex ion (or a coordination complex) comprising a central atom, typically a transition metal cation, surrounded by ions or molecules called ligands. These ligands can be neutral molecules like H2O or NH3, or ions such as CN− or OH−. Often, the ligands act as Lewis bases, donating a pair of electrons to the central atom. These types of Lewis acid-base reactions are examples of a broad subdiscipline called coordination...

Effective preventive measures for coronary artery disease (CAD) focus on controlling modifiable risk factors, including cholesterol abnormalities and lifestyle changes.Cholesterol ManagementFirst, the Mediterranean diet and the American Heart Association advocate for maintaining low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels below 100 mg/dL, with a more stringent recommendation of below 70 mg/dL for individuals at high risk. LDL cholesterol, often termed "bad cholesterol," can lead to the...

Summary

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) offers effective caries prevention and arrest, extending beyond its FDA-approved use for tooth desensitization. These guidelines provide best practices for its expanded application in dental caries management.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Cariology
  • Preventive Dentistry

Background:

  • Manufacturer instructions for 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) are limited to FDA clearance for tooth desensitization.
  • There is a need for evidence-based guidance on the off-label use of SDF for caries prevention and arrest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide best-practice recommendations for the off-label use of 38% SDF for dental caries prevention and arrest.
  • To establish a practical approach for SDF application in clinical settings.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing clinical approaches for 38% SDF use in caries prevention and arrest.
  • Consideration of the best available scientific evidence and expert clinical observation.
  • Development of a decision-flow diagram for SDF treatment based on clinical factors.

Main Results:

  • 38% SDF is supported by scientific literature for preventing and arresting caries lesions.
  • SDF demonstrates compatibility with common restorative materials like glass-ionomer cement and resin composite.
  • A practical decision-flow diagram and best practices were developed for caries lesion treatment.

Conclusions:

  • A logical, evidence-based approach exists for the practical use of 38% SDF in caries prevention and arrest.
  • SDF is a valuable tool for dental practitioners in managing caries, applicable with or without subsequent restoration.
