Teeth01:15

Teeth

474
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...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

240
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.

Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

525
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...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.7K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

785
The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

11.9K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice Development
  • Oral Health Risk Assessment
  • Healthcare Information Systems

Background:

  • High prevalence of oral diseases and hygiene deficits among nursing staff.
  • Lack of integrated assessment tools for oral health risks in daily nursing routines.
  • Structured Information Collection (SIS) facilitates individualized nursing care planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Integrate oral disease risks into the SIS for nursing professionals.
  • Develop a novel assessment instrument for oral hygiene deficits within the SIS framework.
  • Enhance the systematic identification and management of oral health issues in nursing care.

Main Methods:

  • Expert panel analysis of 21 systematic reviews on SIS topics and oral health risks.
  • Comparison of identified risks with existing assessment tools and national expert standards.
  • Development of an adapted oral health assessment integrated into the SIS.

Main Results:

  • Presentation of the SIS with an added category for nursing-relevant oral disease risks.
  • Introduction of the newly developed Oral Risk Assessment Prevention (Mu-RAP) tool for nurses.
  • Demonstration that the expanded SIS and Mu-RAP encompass all identified nursing-relevant oral health risks.

Conclusions:

  • The enhanced SIS and Mu-RAP effectively address nursing-relevant oral health risks.
  • The developed tools provide a comprehensive approach to identifying oral hygiene deficits.
  • Further research is required to validate the instrument's applicability, reliability, and patient-relevant outcomes.
