Teeth01:15

Teeth

575
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...

Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

3.8K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.0K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

The Effect of Aging on Tissues

2.2K
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...

Aging

151
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Dentistry
  • Oral Health Management

Background:

  • Denture loss remains a concern in geriatric facilities, though less frequent than previously reported.
  • Recent detailed studies on current denture loss rates in these settings are lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the current denture loss situation and rate in Japanese geriatric facilities.
  • To analyze recent trends in denture loss among elderly residents.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study was conducted over one year (April 2020-March 2021).
  • Data collected from 11 special elderly nursing homes and 4 group homes.
  • Investigated denture loss cases, wearer rates, and loss details.

Main Results:

  • A total of 11 special elderly nursing homes and 4 group homes participated.
  • The overall denture loss rate for denture wearers was 1.01%.
  • Loss rates were 0.61% in nursing homes and 3.03% in group homes.

Conclusions:

  • The current annual denture loss rate in Japanese geriatric facilities is 1.01%.
  • This rate indicates a significant reduction compared to previous reports.
  • Effective denture management and staff efforts likely contribute to reduced denture loss.
