Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

470
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

201
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.

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles01:30

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles

999
A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

11.3K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Longitudinal Studies01:26

Longitudinal Studies

160
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

2.2K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Craniofacial Development
  • Orthodontics

Background:

  • Establishing normative data for dental and skeletal relationships in infants is crucial for early detection of developmental anomalies.
  • Overjet, a key indicator of maxillomandibular relationship, has limited normative data available for healthy infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the normal ranges for overjet in healthy infants under 12 months of age.
  • To provide a baseline for identifying potential early signs of malocclusion or developmental issues.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted on 152 healthy infants under 12 months.
  • Overjet measurements were taken, defined as the distance between the anterior surfaces of the alveolar ridges in centric relation.
  • Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between overjet and age, controlling for confounders.

Main Results:

  • The mean overjet in neonates (under 1 month) was 2.25 mm.
  • Overjet significantly decreased with age at a mean rate of approximately 0.1 mm per month.
  • No significant variations in average overjet were observed based on sex, prematurity, race, or primary diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides normative overjet values for infants aged 0-12 months.
  • The findings highlight a natural decrease in overjet during infancy, which is important for clinical interpretation.
  • These normative values can aid clinicians in assessing infant dental and skeletal development.
