Let's Talk About Teeth.

                                           LET'S TALK ABOUT TEETH




Let's talk about teeth. Normal structure of teeth. Believe me, you are going to relate to this topic as much as I can.  Teeth are just like dads, hard from the outside but soft from the inside. Enamel the outermost part of crown of teeth is the hardest structure present in our whole human body. But unlike bone, it cannot be formed once lost. Cause You know the enamel-forming cells ameloblast are as lazy as our siblings, once they have formed the enamel they are not willing to do the same thing again. Then underneath it comes the dentin. Like our mom dentin is sensitive and always working means always forming repairing and protecting the inner structure. The innermost part is the pulp. The most sensitive vital organ or one can say the heart of the teeth. It has all the necessary blood and nerve supply that keeps the teeth alive. So this is the basic structure of a teeth.


                                                
So , as we all know our teeths are not a part of bone like snake( acrodont) they are embedded, i.e; they can be removed out of their socket(thecodont). That means there must be some structures present that attaches our teeth to the jaw. There are few more structures that keeps our tooth in their original place after getting a hard friendly punch from our childhood friend. Cementum is the outermost part of the root of teeth. It is one of the structure that helps our teeth in binding with the jaw bone. With the help of PDL periodontal ligaments. Periodontal ligaments are thread like structure with one end attached to  cementum and other to jaw bone or alveolar bone. That's it the basic knowledge of the structure of teeth one must have to understand all the defect, deformities, causes and the need of treatment. 


I have started blogging to spread awareness about dental disease, treatment and oral hygiene, as a B.D.S student.

How are caries formed?

In this world, there is not a single thing which is governed only by one factor. There will always be  a number of factors that govern a single happening. Same goes for caries or cavity. As I have previously discussed about the structure of teeth, and when RCT is important, and also about the optimal time for scaling or regular teeth cleaning.  Today I am going to discuss about how and why are caries formed. For that we need to understand the external structure of teeth along with its surrounding.  Here, I have inserted a occlusal surface of a teeth. Occlusal surface is the top view of posterior teeth. In these you can see some parts with protrusion while some parts with depression. The protuded part is known as cusp, I think most of you are aware of this part. But the depressed part is one of the main cause of all the bizzare occuring in our mouth. This part is known as groove. The groove are the location where the chewed food particles stucks. There are some bacterial w...

Any medical school is high-cost , time consuming and needs a lot of effort. You might not see a medical student or dental student enjoying as much as students of other stream. I might not say that they never enjoy, or that each and every student is as dedicated as the one who really are. Comparing medical and dental stream, as I am not much aware about medical student , I must only mention the dental stream. But I must mention that Dental syllabus include both the dental as well as the medical subjects. Medical subjects are must for dental students. We not only read about anatomy of human but also anatomy of each any every single teeth from very 20 primary to 32 permanent. And yes every single teeth have different anatomy. You can't ever interchange the upper front two teeth. MBBS includes a lot of knowledge, you might choose in between surgery or medicine. If you are not  so good with hands, you might ignore every surgery. But as a dental student you need to know how to remove car...
