Tooth Anatomy

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 grinding food.

French endodontic practice varies significantly by practitioner type. Endodontic specialists (ES) lead in adopting advanced technologies like CBCT, while general practitioners (GP) show lower uptake, with endodontically oriented practitioners (EO) bridging the gap.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontology
  • Dental Practice Management
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Contemporary endodontic practice in France involves diverse practitioner profiles.
  • Understanding variations in clinical activity, technology adoption, and care delivery is crucial for optimizing endodontic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare clinical activity, technology adoption, and care delivery across three French endodontic practitioner profiles: endodontic specialists (ES), endodontically oriented practitioners (EO), and general practitioners (GP).

Main Methods:

  • A nationwide cross-sectional electronic survey was conducted among 1744 French dentists, with 452 responses analyzed.
  • Practitioners were classified as ES, EO, or GP based on endodontic activity, referral patterns, and magnification use.
  • Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and Chi-square or non-parametric tests.

Oral Biofilm Analysis of Palatal Expanders by Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy

Published on: October 20, 2011

Main Results:

  • Significant differences were found in training, workload, access to care, and clinical protocols among the three groups (p < 0.001).
  • Endodontic specialists (ES) reported the highest adoption of advanced technologies, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and bioceramic materials.
  • Endodontically oriented practitioners (EO) showed intermediate practices, while general practitioners (GP) exhibited greater heterogeneity and lower technology uptake.

Conclusions:

  • Distinct patterns in clinical activity, technology use, and care delivery exist across French endodontic practitioner profiles.
  • The endodontically oriented practitioner (EO) group serves as a vital link between general practice and specialist care.
  • Structured training and improved referral coordination are recommended to enhance access to high-quality endodontic care.
