Dentin

S. mutans causes decay by converting dietary carbohydrates into acid; this acid, then breaks down the enamel and dentin of the teeth (Anil 2017).  According to a 2008 study in Pediatric Dentistry, a baby’s mother is their primary source of S. mutans. (Mapes 2010).  Another study involving the oral S. mutans in the mouths of preschool children revealed that the main

Title of the article: Detection And Management Of A Complex Canal Configuration In Mesio Buccal Root Of Maxillary First Molar Using Three Dimensional Imaging. Abstract: This case report discusses on the identification and management of complex canal configuration of 3-2-1 in the mesio buccal (MB) root of maxillary left first molar. Careful attention to details in the pulpal floor, application of knowledge of laws of orifice location along with deepening the sub pulpal groove with ultra sonic tips

Patients today are in high demand for more than a healthy mouth and a perfect smile. Color and esthetics of the teeth are important topics for patients, as they influence self-esteem and professional relationships. Tooth discoloration may cause cosmetic and social problems for the patient. Therefor dentist and patients spend a large amount of money trying to improve the appearance of teeth. Tooth bleaching has become a very popular and common method for whitening discolored teeth in modern esthetic

Mechanism of how antioxidants can preserve stem cell function: LUO2014 * Effects of antioxidants induced pluripotent stem cells: They tested whether the addition of low-dose antioxidants influences the growth, quality, and genomic stability of induced pluripotent Stem cells (iPS cells). They found that the iPS cells grew well and ‘‘stemness’’ was preserved up to 2 months with the addition of low-dose antioxidant. However, the addition of low-dose antioxidants lowered the intracellular reactive oxygen

Toothache: let’s get to the root of it Whilst tooth decay is often declared to be the main cause of toothache, it’s important that you actually have a complete oral examination by a dentist in order to determine the actual cause. Toothache can be a result of a number of dental issues including infection, gum disease, bruxism (grinding your teeth), tooth trauma and even an abnormal bite. The eruption of teeth may also be the cause of tooth and jaw pain in babies and children of school age. Temporomandibular

Amelogenesis Imperfecta Amelogenesis Imperfecta represents a group of conditions, genomic in origin, which affect the structure and clinical appearance of the enamel of all or nearly all the teeth in a more or less equal manner, and which may be associated with morphologic or biochemical changes elsewhere in the body (1). AI is a developmental condition of the dental enamel characterised by hypoplasia and/or hypomineralisation, which could be autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, sex linked with

Iara Lema Ms. McIntosh Science 7B December 12, 2017 Biomimetic or Biomimicry: Nature's responses to human problems Many different species have had to adapt to the most adverse conditions of nature, whose solutions have been the product of biological evolution. Today our civilization faces many problems that need sustainable solutions, as science shows us, they can be inspired by the wisdom of nature. So, instead of racking our brains thinking about creative ways to solve them, we should find

TARGET MARKETING - MEANING, BASIS AND ITS NEED It is not possible for a marketer to have similar strategies for product promotion amongst all individuals. Kids do not get attracted towards products meant for adults and vice a versa. Every segment has a different need, interest and perception. No two segments can have the same ideologies or require a similar product.Target Marketing refers to a concept in marketing which helps the marketers to divide the market into small units comprising of likeminded

decay utilize sugars (glucose, sucrose, fructose, lactose, or cooked starches) as their food source. The waste products created from digesting these sugars are the acids (especially lactic acid) that cause the demineralization of tooth enamel and dentin. Since the bacteria that live in our mouth eat when we do, as we ingest foods which contain sugars (such as soda, candy, milk, and even fruits and vegetables) these bacteria get a meal too. And within minutes they start producing the acids that cause

Science Biology Transcript Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disorder characterized by extreme fragility of the bones also known as ‘brittle bone disease’. Clinical Features The symptoms of OI include malformed bones, short, small body, loose joints, muscle weakness, sclera (whites of the eyes) look purple, grey or blue, triangular face, barrel-shaped rib cage, curved spine, brittle teeth, breathing problems and a collagen deficiency.
