Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

459
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...

Teeth01:15

Teeth

404
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...

Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

638
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...

Diabetes: Management and Pharmacotherapy01:15

Diabetes: Management and Pharmacotherapy

275
The therapy for diabetes aims to alleviate hyperglycemia-related symptoms, prevent acute metabolic decompensation, and reduce chronic end-organ complications. Glycemic control is evaluated through short-term (self-monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring) and long-term (A1c, fructosamine) metrics, enabling near real-time tracking of blood glucose levels and reflecting glycemic control over specific time frames.
Insulin remains the cornerstone of treatment for most patients with type 1 and many...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

12.6K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral Health
    • Dental Biomaterials

    Background:

    • Tooth wear, encompassing abrasion, abfraction, attrition, and erosion, is the loss of hard tooth tissues beyond caries.
    • This multifactorial condition results from lifestyle, diet, and habits, often presenting asymptomatically.
    • Increasing prevalence necessitates a focus on early detection and intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To equip clinicians with detailed explanations and examples of tooth wear causes for early diagnosis.
    • To outline preventive measures to mitigate excessive tooth surface loss.
    • To provide a treatment flowchart and recommendations for managing tooth wear lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed (MEDLINE) and Google Scholar.
    • The search focused on English-language studies published between August 2018 and July 2022.
    • Keywords included "tooth wear" and its specific types: attrition, erosion, abrasion, and abfraction.

    Main Results:

    • A review of the literature identified 48 highly relevant studies.
    • The selected studies provide detailed insights into the causes and manifestations of tooth wear.
    • Information gathered supports the development of diagnostic and treatment strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • Tooth wear significantly impacts individuals physically, mentally, and emotionally.
    • Emphasizing early diagnosis and management is essential for effective patient care.
    • Monitoring, prevention, and timely treatment are key to addressing tooth wear.
