    Generally, there would be come areas which are advancing faster than the rest while some areas remain dormant or static over a long period of time.7 According to Novak et al, the interproximal areas has the most rapidly progressive lesion. This could be due to inaccessibility to brushing as well as higher plaque accumulation if proper plaque removal technique such as flossing or interproximal brushing are not properly executed.8 To further complicate matters, chronic periodontitis is a disease with periods of remission and exacerbation.9 This means that the activity of chronic periodontitis is fluctuating with no constant rate of…

    Ameloblastomas (AB) and calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors (CEOT) are rare tumors thought to develop from the odontogenic epithelium and invade the jaw bone and local tissue. Keratocystic calcifying odontogenic tumors (KCOT) are also rare odontogenic tumors which are locally invasive, but do not invade the bone. The purpose is to compare expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) between odontogenic tumors that invade the jaw bone and tumors that do not. MMPs are enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix proteins and play a role in normal and tumor cell migration. Certain MMPs have been shown previously to play a role in ameloblastoma bone invasion. MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-11, MMP-16, MMP-17, MMP-21, and MMP-24 were shown to play role in odontogenic tumor invasions.…

    Bobs Bad Habit Skin Body Membrane Case Study Bob, a 49-year old painter, arrives for his appointment with Mary, his dental hygienist, to have his teeth cleaned. He has not had a dental examination for three years. Mary takes a complete health and dental history. She makes note of the fact that Bob smokes approximately two packs of cigarettes a day, occasional cigars at parties, and drinks two or three beers daily after working in the hot sun. He is concerned about the appearance of his lips and teeth. Mary begins treatment by carefully observing Bobs face and lips for any abnormal moles (nevi) or lesions. She notices that Bob has a deep tan and that the left side of his lower lip is raised, firm, and scaly. The lesion is about 9mm in diameter. Bob tells her that his lip has had that appearance for about a year. Mary also notes that Bobs skin is quite wrinkled for someone his age. Mary urges Bob to make an appointment with a physician for an examination of the scaly lesion. Bob does so that following week. The physician performs a biopsy on the lesion. Histologic examination of the biopsy confirms that Bob has squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of oral cancer. Its cause is associated with exposure to the sun, consumption of alcohol, and the use of tobacco in all forms. Snuff, chewing tobacco, cigarettes, and cigars are the major risk factors for oral cancer. Cells in the stratum spinosum of the epidermis undergo anaplasia (reversion to an immature, undifferentiated form), transforming into cancer cells and dividing rapidly. Incidence of metastasis is low if the lesion is removed at an early stage. Bobs physician recommends immediate surgical excision of the lesion. Following excision of the lesion, which had tumor-free margins, further examination and testing revealed no signs of metastasis (migration to other tissues). Bobs lesion was small, and he is told all cancer cells were removed. He will however,…

    Dentin Dysplasia type 1 is a developmental disorder of the dentin of a person’s teeth which is typically inherited. Dentin is a bone-like material just below the enamel and makes up most of the tooth and contains the pulp of the tooth (CITE FROM DD1). Dentin Dysplasia type 1 can also be referred to as Radicular Dentin Dysplasia for the underdeveloped, and abnormal pulp tissue in the roots of the teeth (CITE FROM DD1). This condition can affect male and female adolescences and adults. When the roots are abnormally short it will lead to premature loss of teeth. In most cases, the teeth’s enamel will be normally colored, but some will have bluish-brown shine. X-ray photos may show small, “half-moon” shaped, or lack roots that appear dark or radiolucent.…

    Small Vessel Disease (SVD) is a heart condition in which the small coronary arteries become narrowed, this narrowing of the arteries is also known as Coronary Microvascular Disease. Small Vessel Disease acts like traditional coronary heart disease as it causes similar symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, unusual fatigue, and a lack of energy (Mayo Clinic, 2010). The difference between traditional heart disease and small vessel disease is traditional heart disease affects the large coronary arteries where plaque builds up and reduces the flow of blood to the heart whereas small vessel disease is not caused by plaque and is harder to find than traditional heart disease. Many people do not realize they have small vessel disease until they are doing daily routines such as shopping, cooking, cleaning, and times of mental stress (National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, 2011). Therefore, it makes it harder to detect as doctors will test for blockages in the larger arteries first and when nothing is found, follow by checking the smaller arteries.…
