Teeth

369
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

410
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...

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Dental diagnostics

Background:

  • Pigmented fungiform papillae of the tongue (PFPT) are uncommon pigmented lesions presenting diagnostic and treatment challenges.
  • Inadequate documentation exists for PFPT, necessitating further understanding of clinical management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess dentists' knowledge and attitudes concerning PFPT morphologies.
  • To evaluate how this knowledge impacts diagnosis and treatment planning for PFPT.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study surveyed 117 dentists in East Java using an online questionnaire.
  • Participants evaluated clinical photographs of PFPT and answered questions on lesion characteristics, diagnosis, and management.
  • Statistical analysis, including the Mann-Whitney test, was used to assess knowledge and attitude differences.

Main Results:

  • Most dentists demonstrated substantial knowledge of PFPT.
  • Dentists aged 41-50 and those with 1-5 years of experience showed higher knowledge levels.
  • Prior experience with PFPT cases significantly correlated with treatment decisions and diagnostic investigations.

Conclusions:

  • Dentists exhibit considerable knowledge regarding PFPT.
  • Clinical experience with PFPT cases is a key factor shaping dentists' attitudes towards investigation and treatment.
