Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

2.7K
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...

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral

1.9K
Here are the steps to accurately measure oral temperature using an electronic thermometer:
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Neuroscience
  • Dental Engineering

Background:

  • Current dental implants restore function but lack sensory feedback, leading to complications like bone loss.
  • Impaired sensory input affects food texture perception and chewing force regulation, limiting clinical outcomes.
  • Natural teeth provide crucial sensory feedback via mechanoreceptors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel dental implant capable of restoring masticatory perception.
  • To investigate the mechanism of sensory feedback restoration using a piezoelectric implant.
  • To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the piezoelectric implant in patients.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a 3D-printed piezoelectric-core/robust-sheath dental implant.
  • Real-time tracing of neurological activities in mouse brains simulating occlusal stimuli.
  • Clinical evaluation of patient-reported masticatory perception after implantation.

Main Results:

  • The piezoelectric implant successfully converted mechanical chewing forces into electrical signals.
  • Neurological activity in response to simulated chewing was observed in mouse models.
  • Over 90% of patients reported restored masticatory perception after implantation.

Conclusions:

  • The piezoelectric dental implant effectively rebuilds sensory feedback, acting as a mechanoreceptor.
  • This innovation advances smart implant technology, enhancing multi-functionality.
  • The study presents a promising approach for improving dental implant clinical outcomes through sensory restoration.
