While diagnostic skills will be developed and enhanced by experience, it is essential that every prospective dentist is taught how to develop a structured and comprehensive approach to oral diagnosis.

  • Guideline # 18 ORAL HEALTH
    Guideline # 18 ORAL HEALTH RATIONALE Dental caries, commonly referred to as “tooth decay” or “cavities,” is the most prevalent chronic health problem of children in California, and the largest single unmet health need afflicting children in the United States. A 2006 statewide oral health needs assessment of California kindergarten and third grade children conducted by the Dental Health Foundation (now called the Center for Oral Health) found that 54 percent of kindergartners and 71 percent of third graders had experienced dental caries, and that 28 percent and 29 percent, respectively, had untreated caries. Dental caries can affect children’s growth, lead to malocclusion, exacerbate certain systemic diseases, and result in significant pain and potentially life-threatening infections. Caries can impact a child’s speech development, learning ability (attention deficit due to pain), school attendance, social development, and self-esteem as well.1 Multiple studies have consistently shown that children with low socioeconomic status (SES) are at increased risk for dental caries.2,3,4 Child Health Disability and Prevention (CHDP) Program children are classified as low socioeconomic status and are likely at high risk for caries. With regular professional dental care and daily homecare, most oral disease is preventable. Almost one-half of the low-income population does not obtain regular dental care at least annually.5 California children covered by Medicaid (Medi-Cal), ages 1-20, rank 41 out of all 50 states and the District of Columbia in receiving any preventive dental service in FY2011.6 Dental examinations, oral prophylaxis, professional topical fluoride applications, and restorative treatment can help maintain oral health.

Bidlack 1,2,* 1 The Forsyth Institute, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA 2 Department of Developmental Biology, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA 02115, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (A.G.-B.); [email protected] (F.B.B.) Received: 26 May 2020; Accepted: 20 June 2020; Published: 23 June 2020 Abstract: Tooth enamel is the outer covering of tooth crowns, the hardest material in the mammalian body, yet fracture resistant. The extremely high content of 95 wt% calcium phosphate in healthy adult teeth is achieved through mineralization of a proteinaceous matrix that changes in abundance and composition. Enamel-specific proteins and proteases are known to be critical for proper enamel formation. Recent proteomics analyses revealed many other proteins with their roles in enamel formation yet to be unraveled. Although the exact protein composition of healthy tooth enamel is still unknown, it is apparent that compromised enamel deviates in amount and composition of its organic material. Why these differences affect both the mineralization process before tooth eruption and the properties of erupted teeth will become apparent as proteomics protocols are adjusted to the variability between species, tooth size, sample size and ephemeral organic content of forming teeth. This review summarizes the current knowledge and published proteomics data of healthy and diseased tooth enamel, including advancements in forensic applications and disease models in animals. A summary and discussion of the status quo highlights how recent proteomics findings advance our understating of the complexity and temporal changes of extracellular matrix composition during tooth enamel formation.

  • Tooth Decay Information
    ToothMasters Information on Tooth Decay Definition: Tooth decay is the destruction of the enamel (outer surface) of a tooth. Tooth decay is also known as dental cavities or dental caries. Decay is caused by bacteria that collect on tooth enamel. The bacteria live in a sticky, white film called plaque (pronounced PLAK). Bacteria obtain their food from sugar and starch in a person's diet. When they eat those foods, the bacteria create an acid that attacks tooth enamel and causes decay. Tooth decay is the second most common health problem after the common cold (see common cold entry). By some estimates, more than 90 percent of people in the United States have at least one cavity; about 75 percent of people get their first cavity by the age of five. Description: Anyone can get tooth decay. However, children and the elderly are the two groups at highest risk. Other high-risk groups include people who eat a lot of starch and sugary foods; people who live in areas without fluoridated water (water with fluoride added to it); and people who already have other tooth problems. Tooth decay is also often a problem in young babies. If a baby is given a bottle containing a sweet liquid before going to bed, or if parents soak the baby's pacifier in sugar, honey, or another sweet substance, bacteria may grow on the baby's teeth and cause tooth decay. Causes: Tooth decay occurs when three factors are present: bacteria, sugar, and a weak tooth surface. The sugar often comes from sweet foods such as sugar or honey.
