Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Assessment of the Mouth

Assessment of the Mouth

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.

Area of Science:

Paediatric Dentistry
Dental Public Health

Background:

Caries risk assessment is vital for personalized preventive strategies in paediatric dentistry.
Accurate identification of individual caries risk factors is essential for effective treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a simple, reproducible caries risk assessment index for daily clinical use.
To support consistent monitoring of paediatric patients' caries risk by dental hygienists and assistants.

Main Methods:

A literature review identified evidence-based caries risk indicators.
A simplified, color-coded caries risk assessment tool was developed.
The tool was validated in a paediatric clinical setting with 417 patients (aged 0-16 years).

Main Results:

The simplified tool demonstrated good applicability in routine paediatric dental care.
Consistent identification of individual caries risk profiles was achieved.
The visual scoring system facilitated ease of use and understanding.

Conclusions:

The developed tool is suitable for implementation in daily dental practice.
Trained non-dental personnel can effectively utilize the tool for patient monitoring.
The index supports preventive strategies and early intervention for caries management.
