- 歯科公衆衛生
- 医療サービス研究
背景:
- 歯科医療の利用率が低い高齢者は 世界的に多く見られ 脆弱な集団では顕著な差異がある.
- 既存の文献には,高齢者の歯科サービスへのアクセスにおける不平等を促す特定の要因に関するギャップがあります.
- この研究では ブラジル人の高齢者の間での 最近の予防的な歯科治療の格差を調査しています
研究 の 目的:
- ブラジルにおける高齢者の最近の予防的な歯科サービス利用における社会経済的不平等を評価する.
- これらの社会経済的不平等に寄与する要因を特定し,定量化する.
主な方法:
- 2019年のブラジル国民健康調査の横断分析.
- 依存変数: 1年以内に最近および予防的に使用した歯科サービス
- 教育と家庭の収入によって評価された社会経済的地位; オアハカ-ブリンダー分解を用いて分析された多数の人口統計,健康,口腔健康要因.
主要な成果:
- 教育や収入が低い人は 最近の予防的な歯科治療の利用が減った.
- 残っている歯の数は不平等を説明する最も重要な要因でした (30.6~51.8%).

Teeth
672
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...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies
671
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Bone Disorders
3.9K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Assessment of the Mouth
401
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.

Cross-Sectional Research
11.8K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Tooth Anatomy
1.0K
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...
