Tooth Anatomy

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.

Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:

Teeth

Teeth

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 and...

Preclinical Development: Overview

Preclinical Development: Overview

Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia

Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

Area of Science:

Health Sciences Education
Educational Technology

Background:

Higher education faces challenges implementing educational innovations due to instructor-related barriers.
Open educational resources (OER) can drive innovation but are underutilized in dental fields.
Limited availability of digital learning tools in dental and dental hygiene programs.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the scarcity of OER in dental and dental hygiene education.
To introduce a freely available digital learning resource database.
To support educational innovation in health sciences.

Main Methods:

Development of interactive digital learning artifacts by university faculty.
Curating and archiving content in a publicly accessible database named EdTech Cache.
Categorizing content by subject area: biochemistry, oral biology, and biomedical foundations.

Main Results:

EdTech Cache houses a substantial collection of digital learning materials.
Content is focused on key biomedical and oral health sciences subjects.
The database allows filtering by subject and keywords for targeted learning.

Conclusions:

EdTech Cache provides a valuable resource for dental and dental hygiene students.
Educators can leverage EdTech Cache to enhance classroom engagement.
The database has the potential to benefit a broader range of health sciences students and educators.
