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...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

1.1K
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.

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...

Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

3.0K
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...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

812
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Open Educational Resources
  • Healthcare Workforce Development

Background:

  • Dental education and practice face significant challenges, including workforce shortages, rising costs, and unmet needs.
  • Current pedagogical practices in dental education require enhancement to meet evolving demands.
  • Existing efforts to address these challenges have not fully explored the potential of open educational resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the challenges confronting dental education and the dental profession.
  • To examine how open educational resources (OER) can serve as a viable solution to these challenges.
  • To advocate for the adoption of open education principles in dental education.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of challenges in dental education.
  • Review of the principles and benefits of open educational resources.
  • Discussion on the potential impact of OER adoption on dental education and practice.

Main Results:

  • Open educational resources are freely accessible learning objects that can be retained, reused, revised, remixed, and redistributed.
  • OER adoption can significantly alleviate barriers related to cost, access, and quality in dental education.
  • Technological advantages associated with OER facilitate greater openness and sharing within the dental community.

Conclusions:

  • Open educational resources present a promising strategy to address systemic challenges in dental education.
  • Increased adoption of OER can enhance the quality of dental pedagogy and improve oral healthcare delivery.
  • Embracing openness in dental education is crucial for the sustainability of the oral healthcare enterprise.
