Understanding Dentinogenesis: A Comprehensive Overview

Dentinogenesis is a crucial process in tooth development starting at the cusp tips as odontoblasts differentiate and begin collagen production. Factors like TGF, IGF, and BMP play key roles in organizing odontoblast cytoskeleton assembly. Odontoblasts take up calcium, maintain high concentrations, a

Understanding Dental Calculus Formation and Classification

Dental calculus, also known as tartar, is a mineralized bacterial plaque that forms on natural teeth and dental prostheses. It can be classified as supragingival or subgingival based on its relation to the gingival margin. This hard deposit is formed through the mineralization of dental plaque and c

Understanding Calcium Metabolism: A Comprehensive Overview

Calcium metabolism plays a critical role in various bodily functions like nerve conduction, coagulation, and bone mineralization. It involves processes such as calcium absorption, distribution, and homeostasis, regulated by hormones like PTH and calcitriol. The balance of calcium in the body is cruc
