[Biomechanical problems of the maxillodental system in children]
Abstract:
The biomechanical regularities of the function of anatomic blocks of the maxillodental system were studied using mathematical simulation and mathematical models. The biological concept of the structure and biomechanics of human masticatory system is presented. Methods of rapid diagnosis, based on the anthropometric characteristics of the face, and a mathematical model of the function of the maxillodental system intended for the orthodontic treatment of maxillodental abnormalities in children have been developed.

Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...
Teeth
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...
Tooth Anatomy
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.
