Abstract:
The authors propose a device for measuring plaster models of patients' jaws with normal occlusion in order to evaluate the distance from the coordinate point to the point between the incisors (i), points of contact of the canines (p) and of contact of the first molars of the maxilla and mandible (m). It is possible to assess the position of the upper and lower dentition in the skull space in relation to the universal parameter--the coordinate point common for both dentitions and parameters of the skull.

01:26Assessment 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.

01:15Teeth
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...
