Mastication

, 2015). In some cases, however, patients may exhibit microdontia or incomplete root formation (Sreeramulu, et al., 2015). Shortly after eruption, the gingiva becomes inflamed and periodontal structures deteriorate. Teeth become mobile, making mastication uncomfortable or painful, pus exudes out of periodontal abscesses, and fetid mouth odor is usually present (Sreeramulu, et al., 2015). The deciduous teeth are lost prematurely at around the age of 4 or 5 and the gingiva returns to its normal…

Enamel is the hardest substance in the body, which it has to be to endure the biting forces of everyday mastication and clenching that people often put their teeth through. Enamel is the outer layer on the crown of the tooth which give the teeth that is esthetically pleasing to the eye. However, enamel is not able to replenish itself so once it is gone there is no way for the body to regenerate more. A 12-year-old female girl has new molars coming in and the appearance of them is a…

and used her own body as a main focus of her art. Her first major performance piece was Hannah Wilke Super-t-Art in 1974, which also became one of her most iconic photographic works. Her use of her body in her art also took off in 1974 with her nude photographic collection S.O.S — Starification Object Series. This work introduced her signature use of chewing gum vulva mini-sculptures stuck to her body and reflects her frequent use of the self-portrait. Wilke coined the term “performalist…

Many experiment have been done to find the best solutions of dental fillings. Different metals have been tested over the many decades to see which would have the…

This disease is caused by a bacterial infection in the sulcus. The sulcus is the space formed due to the gums actually attaching to the teeth at a lower point than the edges of the gum that we can visibly see. When one eats food, the process of mastication takes place. This allows for small food particles to get stuck in the sulcus. If not removed by brushing or flossing, bacteria located in the sulcus starts to thrive since there is a food source. The longer the food stays, the more the…

related to the Australopithecine material. “The shared derived features that connect H. naledi with other members of Homo occupy most regions of the H. naledi skeleton and represent distinct functional systems, including locomotion, manipulation, and mastication” (Berger et al, 2015). I agree with this statement because both cranially and post-cranially, it can be proved that Homo naledi is indeed more similar to Homo than to the…

Vertical dimension (VD) defined in the Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms as "The distance between two selected anatomic or marked points”. Occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) defined as "The distance between two selected anatomic points when in maximal inter-cuspal position”.(1) The OVD is determined by the repetitive contracted length of the elevator muscles which sets the jaw-to-jaw relationship.(2) During growth and development OVD affected by three factors: Growth of the ramus, gonial angle of…

Food is taken in the mouth the first process is Mastication. This is the biting and chewing a feed breaking food into smaller particles. The incisor teeth cut and the molars grind. The food is mixed with saliva causing a breakdown of digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth, amylase is secreted and starts breaking down the carbs in the bread to form a bolus of food. This Bolus of food is pushed between the hard palate and the tongue mixing the bolus of food with saliva and pushing the…

There is a significant amount of differences between Dante's image of Satan (for example, the three-faced, silent being stuck in ice) and more usual images of Satan (for example, the pitchfork-wielding devil in fire). I choose this topic because I thought the way Dante portrays Satan in Dante’s Inferno was a very interesting and different way than the way Christians and other modern religions portray him. There have many papers and articles written about this that have changed my perspective of…
