Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

23. "Demineralization" – means "dissolution of enamel.“
Substantial number of mineral ions may get removed from
Hydroxyapatite [HAP] latticework without destroying its structural
integrity.
24. How does Demineralization
happen?
At pH ≤ 4.5, HAP can get
dissolved in process known as
demineralisation.
More the acidic
environment, greater is the
outward flow [loss] of ions.
Demineralization phase if
continues for longer period,
may cause excessive loss of
minerals, leading to loss of
enamel structure.

Incisors (central and lateral)
The incisors are located near the entrance of the oral cavity and function as cutting or shearing instruments for food. From a proximal view, the crowns of these teeth have a triangular shape with a narrow incisal surface, including the incisal edge, and a broad cervical base. The incisors contribute significantly in cutting actions and other functions; esthetics; and phonetics.
Canines
The canines possess the longest roots of all teeth and are located at the corners of the dental arch. They function in the seizing, piercing, and tearing of food, as well as in cutting. From a proximal view the crown also has a triangular shape with a thick incisal ridge. The stocky anatomic form of the crown and length of the root are reasons why these teeth are strong, stable abutment teeth for a fixed or removable prosthesis. The canines serve as imortant guides in occlusion because of their anchorage and position in the dental arches.
Premolars
The premolars serve a dual role in function: they act like the canines in the tearing of food and are similar to molars in the grinding of food.
Whereas the first premolars are angular, with their facial cusps resembling the canines, the lingual cusps of the maxillary premolars and molars have a more rounded anatomic form. The occlusal surfaces present in a series of curves in the form of concavities and convexities that should be maintained throughout life for correct occlusal contacts and function.
Molars
The molars are large, multicusped, strongly anchored teeth located nearest the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which serves as the fulcrum during function. These teeth have a major role in the crushing, grinding, and chewing of food to the smallest dimensions suitable for deglutition. The occlusal surfaces of both premolars and molars act as a myriad of shears that function in the final mastication of food. The premolars and molars are also important in maintaining the vertical dimension of the face.

The anatomic tooth crown is the portion of the tooth covered by enamel.
The anatomic root is the lower two thirds of a tooth. The roots are normally subgingival, buried in bone, and serve to anchor the tooth in position.
The pulp cavity houses the dental pulp, an organ of myelinated and unmyelinated nerves, arteries, veins, lymph channels, connective tissue cells, and various other cells involved in formative or developmental, nutritive, sensory, protective, and defensive or reparative processes.
The 4 main dental tissues are:
Enamel
Dentin
Cementum
Dental pulp
Structure
Highly calcified and hardest tissue in the body
Crystalline in nature
Enamel rods
Insensitive—no nerves
Acid-soluble—will demineralize at a pH of 5.5 and lower
Cannot be renewed
Darkens with age as enamel is lost
Fluoride and saliva can help with remineralization
Softer than enamel
Susceptible to tooth wear (physical or chemical)
Does not have a nerve supply but can be sensitive
Is produced throughout life
Three classifications
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Will demineralize at a pH of 6.5 and lower
Primary dentin forms the initial shape of the tooth. It is usually completed 3 years after tooth eruption (for permanent teeth).
Secondary dentin is deposited after the formation of the primary dentin. Secondary dentin forms on all internal aspects of the pulp cavity, but in the pulp chamber of multirooted teeth it tends to be thicker on the roof and floor than on the side walls.
Tertiary dentin, or “reparative dentin” is formed by replacement odontoblasts in response to moderate-level irritants such as attrition, abrasion, erosion, trauma, moderate-rate dental caries, and some operative procedures. It usually appears as a localized dentin deposit on the wall of the pulp cavity immediately subadjacent to the area of the tooth that has received the injury.

Dental pulp is:
Innermost part of the tooth
A soft tissue rich with blood vessels and nerves
Responsible for nourishing the tooth
The pulp in the crown of the tooth is known as the pulp chamber
Pulp canals traverse the root of the tooth
Typically sensitive
The gingival is commonly divided into free (the unattached portion, forming the wall of the gingival crevice) and attached (the part that is firm and resilient and bound to the underlying cementum and the alveolar bone, thus being immovable).

Hydrodynamic Theory for sensitive dentine was first proposed by Brannstorm [21]. This theory is the most widely accepted theory for DH. The theory has been proposed based on the movement of the fluid inside the dentinal tubules. The theory claims that tubules are open between dentine surface which is exposed to the environment and pulp [21-22].
It is believed that DH is made as the result of movement of the fluid inside the dentinal tubules, which is further due to the thermal and physical changes, or as the result of formation of osmotic stimuli near the exposed dentine. The movement of fluid stimulates a baroreceptor and leads to neural discharge. The process is called the hydrodynamic theory of pain [3, 14]. This process is similar to activating the neural fibers around the hair by touching or pressing the hair. The movement of fluid can be toward the inside of the pulp or the outside of dentin. Cooling, drying, evaporation, and hypertonic chemical stimuli cause the dentinal fluid to flow away from the dentin-pulp complex and lead to an increase in pain [15].
Heating causes the fluid to flow toward the pulp. About 75% of patients with DH feel pain in response to cold stimuli [1-3].
As it was stated above, the number of tubules in sensitive dentin is eight times more than the number of tubules in non sensitive dentin. Furthermore, tubules of sensitive dentin are wider than those in non sensitive dentin.
