Teeth

275
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

306
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:

  • Dentistry
  • Dental Public Health

Background:

  • Early detection of tooth wear (TW) is essential to avoid complex and expensive dental interventions.
  • Understanding the prevalence and risk factors of TW is critical for establishing effective preventive strategies.
  • This study investigated TW prevalence and associated risk factors in patients at Egas Moniz Dental Clinic (EMDC).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of tooth wear in a patient sample at EMDC.
  • To identify potential risk factors associated with tooth wear.
  • To provide data for developing preventive guidelines for tooth wear.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective cross-sectional study design was employed.
  • Data from 2266 patients collected between 2021 and 2023 were analyzed.
  • Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to assess TW presence, types, and risk factor correlations.

Main Results:

  • The overall prevalence of tooth wear was 54.7%.
  • Attrition was the most common type (24.1%), while erosion was least common (2.7%).
  • Significant risk factors included older age, decreased vertical dimension of occlusion (DVO), antacid use, mastication difficulties, certain drugs, and mouthwash use. Female gender was associated with lower risk.

Conclusions:

  • Tooth wear is highly prevalent and its incidence increases with age.
  • Timely diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent progression of tooth wear.
  • Comprehensive evaluation of identified risk factors is necessary for implementing effective preventive and therapeutic interventions.
