...The extra-oral exam includes an observation of Rangi’s demeanor and general state of health. As mentioned before, observation should commence as soon as the patient enters the clinic and this should be continued while taking the history as already discussed above. Careful observation aids identifying risk factors for disease. For example, I will note changes in the skin, lips and general appearance as this will give me clues about nutrition and general health. I will observe if Rangi is breathing through his mouth or nose as a study by Nascimento-Filho, Mayer, Pontes, Pignatari, and Weckx (2004) have shown that mouth breathing may increase the risk for caries not only of the anterior teeth but also of the posterior teeth since desiccation of oral hard and soft tissues increases the numbers of Streptococcus mutans, a known pathogen for dental caries....

...Fluoride Fluoride is mineral, traditionally known for its use in keeping our teeth clean, strong and preventing tooth decay. Although Fluoride helps our teeth, it does not help with the growth of our bodies, so is not practically considered a mineral essential for health and well being. It has been around for a long time and it is used in today’s society a lot. Fluoride was discovered by Henri Moissan in 1886, a French chemist that found fluoride in a hydrogen fluorine gas mix. It wasn’t discovered to help with tooth decay until 1936, when they did a study with fluoridated water in cities in Colorado Springs. Our bodies only need a small amount of fluoride in our bodies and 95% of that can be found in our skeletal system. The way fluoride helps our teeth is, by interacting with calcium and phosphate to help mineralize broken down tooth enamel. It has been found that children that consume a sufficient amount of Fluoride when their teeth are starting to develop and come through, have greater protection from tooth decay for the rest of their lives. Fluoride not only helps protect our teeth by prevent decay; it also helps strengthen our bones. Our body absorbs fluoride through the stomach and small intestine, for where it eventually ends up in our bloodstream. Once there it gets into our bones and teeth, and doesn’t build up in our soft tissue. Fluoride deficiency has been proven in communities where fluoridated water has not been introduced yet. It has been proven that...

...The paper by Aoba and Fejerskov written in 2002 talks about a hypothesized mechanism being a dose-related disruption of the mineralization which causes the teeth to become porous with a decrease in proteins. This degradation of the teeth is thought to be from a breakdown of the matrix proteins and the way the by-products are drawn out from the aging enamel (Aoba and Fejerskov, 2002). There are different forms categorizing the severity of enamel fluorosis. Mild enamel fluorosis is seen as white striations or opaque patches while in moderate or severe cases the opaque spots extend and the porosity increases (NRC Ch.6,1993). If the damage is severe enough there can be many dental health issues, including an increase in caries later in life. These...

...C L I N I C A L P R A C T I C E The Safety of Home Bleaching Techniques • Laura Tam, DDS, M.Sc. • © J Can Dent Assoc 1999; 65:453-5 PRACTITIONER’S QUESTION: How safe is home tooth bleaching? Home bleaching is a popular dental procedure used to whiten teeth. The first clinical study of nightguard vital tooth bleaching using a carbamide peroxide product was published in 1989.1 Carbamide peroxide is the most commonly used active ingredient in home bleaching systems. It breaks down into hydrogen peroxide and urea in aqueous solution. Although concentrations of 10% carbamide peroxide (equivalent to approximately 3% hydrogen peroxide) are most commonly used, bleaching systems containing up to 22% carbamide peroxide are available for home use. The safety of home bleaching has been questioned. This article looks at the minor or transient adverse effects of home bleaching on oral tissues as well as the potential major long-term or systemic risks of the technique on dental and soft tissues. Minor or Transient Effects Tooth Sensitivity Previously, the most common method for vital tooth bleaching used liquid hydrogen peroxide in combination with heat. This method invariably caused tooth sensitivity both during and after the procedure. Thirty-five per cent hydrogen peroxide preparations with or without the additional use of heat caused histological pulpal changes.2-4 However, the treated pulps generally showed a reversal of these changes and repair...

...will also take a look at how caries are diagnosed and detected, what a caries risk assessment is, its factors and how it can be utilized on individual patients for caries prevention. Finally, we will discuss how dental caries is treated at all levels of the caries process. Caries, also known as tooth decay or cavities, is a bacterial infection transmitted primarily through saliva, leading to the destruction of enamel, cementum and dentin. Although caries is an infectious disease of the teeth, it is more accurate to say caries is caused by a shift in oral micro-flora to caries-causing types in response to acidity resulting from metabolism of sugars. (Higham, 2010) Three major factors contribute to the caries process: food or beverages that are consumed (sugary in content), the bacteria in plaque, and your teeth. The simplest way to think of it is that each time you eat there is an acid attack on your teeth. That’s because plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, constantly forms on your teeth. When you eat or drink foods containing sugars or starches, the bacteria in plaque uses the sugar & starches as fuel to produce acids that...

...detect many abnormalities from bone loss to tumors by using the ability to view medical issues prior to physical or visual signs are present (ADA 2014). Today, x-rays have become state of the art; occlusal radiographs, panoramic and intraoral views, or even the newer digital x-rays have become valuable tools in the care and treatment of dental health. Dental X-Rays More Than Just a Picture Diagnostic radiographs or dental x-rays, are a type of image of the teeth and mouth that are used to diagnose or treat patients by recording images of the internal structures in order to assess whether or not there is disease, foreign objects, or structural damage. X-rays are a form of high energy, electromagnetic, radiation that can penetrate the body to form an image on film. Structures that are dense, such as silver fillings or metal restoration, will block most of the light energy from the electromagnetic radiation. Dense structures will appear white on developed film. Areas containing air will appear black on film while teeth, tissue, and fluid will appear as grey areas. X-ray imaging provides a fast, non-invasive way of answering many clinical questions which may...

...Close-Up toothpaste. The variants are tested by the researchers themselves in a span of one week - they observed the amount of time it takes for teeth to whiten, and the budget required for each product. This study specifically seeks to: 1) Compare and contrast the whitening efficiency of Hydrogen Peroxide tooth gel, Colgate and Close-Up. 2) Determine which of the three products is the most efficient in terms of teeth whitening and costs less budget. 3) To know if homemade Hydrogen Peroxide tooth gel is a possible substitute for your usual commercial toothpastes. The study was conducted by the researchers testing the products themselves. They used the products in a span of one week and observed if their teeth whitens. The price of the product and number of days before teeth whitens are closely observed by the researchers. Based on the study, all products managed to whiten teeth, the only difference is that Hydrogen Peroxide took the least amount of time and it's the product that costs least out of the three. It is recommended that future researchers should: 1) find out the other uses of Hydrogen Peroxide. 2) be extra cautious while brushing your teeth with the Hydrogen Peroxide paste; please make sure you don't swallow anything. 3) find out if the Hydrogen Peroxide paste can whiten other materials, not only the teeth. I. INTRODUCTION Hydrogen peroxide and toothpastes are somehow similar because they can both be used for mouth washing and tooth care, but they...

...does to teeth. Soda gives cavities and vinegar gives your teeth erosion, but what happens when our teeth aren't clean every day. Soda and vinegar are both very strong compared to the enamel on are teeth. When drinking vinegar and soda, are teeth will start to erode and get cavities. What does soda and vinegar do to are teeth. Soda is dangerous to teeth because every sip is destroying the enamel on the teeth. The acid from the mouth mixes with the soda also and then it will attack the teeth for twenty minutes. Vinegar does the same thing to your teeth when drinking or swallow it with food. Vinegar damages the teeth and breaks down enamel. And the acid from are mouth mixes together, so when it gets on the teeth it breaks and decays your teeth quicker. What happens after soda and vinegar get stuck on are teeth. After soda gets stuck on teeth it will start the effects of erosion and cavities. Erosion of teeth is not good. It starts to break down tooth enamel and then get down to teeth roots if you can't stop it. Vinegar will give you the cavities the most. It has a strong pull to teeth and that's where cavities come in at. Cavities will break down to your root of our teeth and then ends up destroying your teeth....
