Cracks and Fractures in Teeth | Book Publisher International

When a crack develops in a tooth, it is referred to as a fractured tooth or cracked tooth syndrome (CTS). Sometimes the crack will be little and unharmful. Sometimes it might lead to the tooth splitting or breaking.

Although anybody can shatter a tooth, youngsters and the elderly are more prone to tooth fractures. Cracks might appear in the root or the crown. The root and the crown both have numerous layers:

Enamel: A rough, white exterior.

Dentin: The tooth's middle layer.

Pulp: Soft inner tissue that houses nerves and blood vessels.

Some or all of these layers may be impacted by tooth fractures. The location and degree of the fracture determine the course of treatment for a broken tooth. Even though some fractures go unnoticed, a fractured tooth may pain or feel sensitive. The likelihood of healing a fractured tooth rises with earlier treatment.

The Tooth Occlusion Pattern among the Emai People in Edo State, Nigeria | Chapter 9 | Emerging Issues in Science and Technology Vol. 4

Introduction: The aspiration of this academic work was to determine the tooth occlusion pattern among the Emai People in Edo State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This scrutiny arrogated a descriptive cross-sectional survey method and intricated the use of data form and direct observation. The scrutinization involved 290 subjects and multistage sampling. Tooth occlusion pattern were categorized following the fourfold models. Participants were regarded as owning any of these: Edge to edge bite, mild overbite, severe overbite and negative overbite. Data were elaborated with the use of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 18. Inferential statistics involved the use of chi-square test, and P-value < 0.05 was termed significant. Results: The frequency of mild overbite was seen as the highest (male = 21.02%, female = 29.30%) which was followed by edge to edge bite (male = 20.34%, female = 23.10%). Severe overbite was observed more in females and negative overbite was observed more in males (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The tooth occlusion pattern of the the Emai People in Edo State, Nigeria has been elucidated.
