[Insight into the prevalence of periodontitis: a challenge!]
Abstract:
Current data on the prevalence of periodontitis is scarce. Moreover, in epidemiological research periodontitis is measured in different ways. However, for effective prevention and evaluation of curation, it is of great importance to have reliable prevalence figures on periodontitis, because serious periodontal infections show a strong correlation with several common diseases. In the case of the Netherlands, this means more effort to monitor the prevalence of periodontitis. This could, in any case, be carried out from dental practices, albeit that it would then be necessary to do so in a structured manner. This may not provide a full picture, but it will provide insight into the state of oral health and the outcomes of care for the vast majority of the population that visits a dental practice yearly.

Teeth
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...

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...
