The epidemiological studies in caries do not show a consistent distribution for all tooth surfaces. The occlusal surface caries still show high prevalence compared to interproximal caries. The incidence of caries in the occlusal surfaces of the teeth constitutes more than two-thirds of all caries types. The propensity of occlusal caries to develop is closely related with the depth and morphology of the pits and fissures. Caries development is caused by the fact that bacteria and food accumulate

“It is recommended that most women get no more than 100 calories a day of added sugar from any source, and that most men get no more than 150 calories a day of added sugar.*” Too much of any added sugar can lead to cavities, dental problems, etc. Unfortunately, sugar consumed in liquid form, such as sodas or juices, get into hard to reach places in your mouth. Even with regular brushing, sugars from those drinks can be difficult to reach, forming the growth of harmful bacteria. Severe erosion caused

Pediatric Dentistry is the practice of dentistry from the moment of a child’s birth through to adolescence. In short, pediatric dentists work in promoting the dental health of children as well providing their parents with the educational knowledge in sustaining their children’s oral hygiene. Normally it is advised that a visit with a dental professional should occur within the first six months of the first tooth eruption or by the time of the child’s first birthday, with latter visits taking place

Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to establish the concentrations of contaminants that are permitted in public drinking-water systems. A public water system is defined by EPA as a “system for the provision to the public of water for human consumption through pipes or other constructed conveyances, if such system has at least fifteen service connections or regularly serves at least twenty-five individuals” (63 Fed. Reg. 41940 [1998]). Section

MIH is a common developmental condition that results in enamel defects in first permanent molars and permanent incisors. It presents at eruption of these teeth. One to four molars, and often also the incisors, could be affected. This term was first introduced in 2001 by Weerheim to describe the condition. Prior to introduction of this term, many names were used to describe it, like idiopathic enamel hypomineralization, non-fluoride hypomineralization, cheese molars and etc. MIH is a qualitative effect

Introduction This study aimed to focus on both weight and dental caries and their impact on not only society but also children specifically. Family has a large impact on the perception of these illnesses. With children being affected by genetics they are also affected environmentally; children that are affected by these diseases have social environments, lifestyle adaptions, and psychological factors that contribute to these influences. Dental health can be expensive, with oral care being something

into meat, while herbivores have flat teeth used for grinding up leaves. Some fish have teeth sharp enough to scrape the scales of other fish and feed on their particles. The bodies of sharks are covered with thousands of tiny tooth like pieces of dentin which makes their exterior feel rather coarse. While reptiles lose their teeth many times throughout the course of their life, mammals only lose their teeth once, including

INTRODUCTION The rise in eating disorders has captured the attention of both medical and dental professionals. A dental hygienist may be the first professional to detect an eating disorder due to the oral complications that are associated with the condition (Foster, 2017). Eating disorders are described as “a persistent disturbance of eating behavior or behavior intended to control weight, which significantly impairs physical health or psychosocial functioning” (Fairburn & Walsh, 2003). There are

Chapter 1 - Introduction to Healing (1840 words) What is healing? Well, essentially healing means 'to make whole'. It is the process of restoring one's health from a unbalanced, damaged, or diseased person. When one has suffered physical damage or disease, healing involves the repair of tissues, organs, and possible biological systems to normal functioning. The cells in the body regenerate to reduce the size of the damage or necrotic area. Necrotic area is the area of tissue that has died.

Another, and possibly outlandish hypothesis, is in par with Chlamydosaurus kingii, and is usually coined the Cursorial Theory. Chlamydosaurus kingii, also known as the Australian Frilled Neck Lizard, employs a whimsical mode of transportation. Aquila audax, the largest bird of prey in Australia, supports as a constant threat to Chlamydosaurus kingii, as its highly efficacious eyesight extends into the infrared and ultraviolet bands. This is called Tetrachromacy. Tetrachromacy is the state of retaining
