Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

2.0K
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...

Preventive Healthcare Services

1.8K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.2K
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...

Coronary Artery Disease IV: Preventive Measures

579
Effective preventive measures for coronary artery disease (CAD) focus on controlling modifiable risk factors, including cholesterol abnormalities and lifestyle changes.Cholesterol ManagementFirst, the Mediterranean diet and the American Heart Association advocate for maintaining low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels below 100 mg/dL, with a more stringent recommendation of below 70 mg/dL for individuals at high risk. LDL cholesterol, often termed "bad cholesterol," can lead to the...

Teeth01:15

Teeth

1.6K
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...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.9K
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Preventive Dentistry

Background:

  • Dental caries remains a significant public health issue, particularly in low-income populations.
  • Early intervention is crucial for preventing long-term oral health problems and associated inequalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of dental caries prevention programs in low-income populations.
  • To identify the most impactful interventions for reducing caries prevalence and severity.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed and Google Scholar for studies published between 2015 and 2025.
  • Included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving participants aged 3-18 years, adhering to PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines.
  • 10 studies were selected from 384 initial records after rigorous quality assessment and data extraction.

Main Results:

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) demonstrated high effectiveness in preventing early childhood caries.
  • Community water fluoridation (CWF) and school-based fluoride mouth-rinse (S-FMR) programs effectively reduced caries and oral health disparities.
  • Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) showed comparable results to traditional fissure sealants, with fluoride varnish being more cost-effective than sealants.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple dental intervention strategies, including MI and various fluoride applications, significantly reduce dental caries in children.
  • These programs are vital for improving oral health outcomes and mitigating socioeconomic disparities in dental health.
