Teeth

531
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 Anatomy

612
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

302
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.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontology and Orthodontics
  • Dental Morphology and Biomechanics

Background:

  • Understanding the relationship between gingival biotype (GT) and malocclusion is crucial for effective orthodontic treatment planning.
  • Gingival biotype, encompassing gingival thickness and keratinized gingival width, may influence treatment outcomes and stability.
  • Malocclusion, characterized by irregular teeth alignment, can be associated with various dental and skeletal factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and synthesize existing evidence on the association between gingival biotype (GT) and malocclusion.
  • To explore potential correlations between different types of malocclusion and gingival biotype characteristics.
  • To assess the methodological quality of studies investigating this relationship.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted across multiple databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, etc.) up to February 2020, adhering to PRISMA standards.
  • Six studies met the eligibility criteria, involving 812 participants aged 14–32 years.
  • Cochrane's Risk of Bias tool (ROBINS-I) was employed to evaluate the quality of included non-randomized studies.

Main Results:

  • No significant relationship was identified between gingival biotype (GT) and Angle's classification of malocclusion.
  • Two studies indicated a higher prevalence of thin GT in individuals with severe dental crowding compared to mild crowding.
  • Three studies reported a narrower zone of keratinized gingival width in individuals with thin GT compared to those with thick GT.

Conclusions:

  • Angle's malocclusion classification does not appear to be associated with gingival biotype (GT).
  • A thin gingival biotype (GT) may be more prevalent in individuals exhibiting proclination of incisors.
  • Individuals with a thin gingival biotype (GT) tend to have a narrower width of keratinized gingiva.
