Epidemiology Epidemic (Epi – among, Demos – people, Logos – study)
“The study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations and the application of this study to the control of health problems”.
AIM: To minimize or eradicate the disease or health problem and its consequences and to promote the well-being of society as a whole.
(3) BIOSTATISTICS
Biostatistics is that branch of statistics concerned with mathematical facts and data relating to biological events.
Medical statistics is a further specialty of biostatistics, when the mathematical facts and data are related to health and prevention of disease.
USES:
•To define normalcy.
•To test whether the difference between two populations, regarding a particular attribute is real or a chance occurrence.
•To study the correlation or association between two or more attributes in the same population.
•To evaluate the efficacy of vaccines, sera etc. by control studies.
•To locate, define and measure the extent of morbidity and mortality in the community.
•To evaluate the achievements of public health programs.
(4)SOCIAL SCIENCES
Social sciences usually include sociology, cultural anthropology and psychology.
The public health worker, when he embarks upon organized community effort, is very dependent upon the group behavior of the individuals, determined by their culture.
It is one of the important developments in public health during the last decade that the social scientists have been called in aid adapting new health programs to existing cultural patterns.
The social scientist becomes necessary when effort and effect do not match each other and we want to know why. He helps us in the assessment of the process our program is using or plans to use in finding out how well this process fits with the social- cultural system of the group.

Dental materials - properties of dental materialSafuraIjaz2
This document discusses rheology, the study of flow of matter, which is important in dentistry as many dental materials are liquids or flow over time. It defines viscosity as the resistance of a fluid to flow and how it is measured. Dental materials are classified as Newtonian, pseudoplastic, or dilatant based on how their viscosity changes with increasing shear rate. Some materials like plaster of Paris and resin cements are thixotropic, where viscosity decreases under constant shear and increases when at rest. Structural relaxation is a rheological phenomenon where solids slowly deform through stress relaxation as atoms rearrange or through creep/flow under constant load near melting points.
The document discusses dental anatomy and development. It defines key terms like occlusion, mastication, dentition, and describes the primary and permanent dentition. It outlines the dental formula and eruption sequences. It also describes tooth structures like the enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum and periodontal ligament. It defines anatomical landmarks like cusps, ridges, depressions, and root structures. Tooth development and anomalies in number, size, shape and calcification are also discussed.
There are several subtypes of ameloblastoma including common, unicystic, and peripheral ameloblastomas. Common ameloblastomas typically occur in people aged 20-40 and present as slow-growing lesions in the mandible that cause bone expansion. Unicystic ameloblastomas usually affect younger people aged 16-20 and present as well-defined radiolucencies associated with impacted mandibular third molars. Peripheral ameloblastomas present as nodules in older adults aged 23-82 in the gingiva of the mandible or maxilla. Histologically, the subtypes can be distinguished based on epithelial patterns and features. Treatment involves surgical excision of the lesion and surrounding

This document discusses tooth morphology and is the first chapter of a work by Chanda Shehzadi. Tooth morphology refers to the shape, size, and structural formation of teeth. The chapter will likely examine the different types of teeth and their functions as well as how their shapes are adapted for various purposes.
This document provides an overview of cementum, including its physical characteristics, composition, functions, classification, locations, abnormalities, and more. Cementum is the avascular, mineralized tissue covering tooth roots. It is composed of cells, collagen fibers, and hydroxyapatite crystals. Cementum functions to provide anchorage for fibers attaching teeth to bone and aids in adaptation and repair. It can be classified based on presence of cells, fiber origin, location, and matrix composition. Abnormalities include aplasia, hypoplasia, and hypercementosis.
Cementum is a hard, avascular connective tissue that covers tooth roots. It begins at the cervical portion of the tooth and extends to the apex. Cementum provides the medium for collagen fibers to attach the tooth to surrounding structures. It is composed mainly of inorganic hydroxyapatite and organic collagen. Cementum forms through a process called cementogenesis, where mesenchymal cells differentiate into cementoblasts that synthesize cementum. Cementum is classified based on formation timing, presence of cells, and origin of collagen fibers, with the primary types being acellular intrinsic fiber cementum and cellular extrinsic fiber cementum.
The document discusses several oral conditions including cleft lip, cleft palate, macroglossia, amyloidosis, black hairy tongue, torus palatinus, and torus mandibularis. Cleft lip and cleft palate are classified in different severities. Macroglossia and amyloidosis present enlarged tongue issues while black hairy tongue and torus palatinus/mandibularis involve abnormal tongue and hard palate/jaw bone growths.
Local anesthetics work by blocking sodium channels, preventing the transmission of electrical signals in nerves. They are commonly used for minor surgical procedures and can be administered via different routes. The most commonly used local anesthetics are amide and ester derivatives that exist in both ionized and non-ionized forms, with the non-ionized forms able to more readily cross cell membranes and the ionized forms being the active blocking entities inside axons. Toxicity can occur if local anesthetic blood levels become too high, potentially causing CNS or cardiovascular effects like seizures or arrhythmias. Treatment of local anesthetic toxicity focuses on supportive measures.
This document describes and compares the anatomical features of the maxillary and mandibular molars. It outlines their eruption times, root development stages, occlusal surface geometries, root morphologies, contact areas, outlines, grooves and pits. The maxillary and mandibular first molars have similar features, such as trapezoidal buccal and lingual aspects, trifurcated roots, and 4 major cusps. Differences between the molars include their occlusion patterns, number of roots and cusps, and root fusion tendencies over time. Common anatomical variations are also listed.
The nervous system is composed of the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord and coordinates all body functions. The PNS connects the CNS to the limbs and organs through nerves and ganglia. Neurons are the basic cells of the nervous system and transmit electrochemical signals through axons and dendrites to control sensation, movement, and organ function. Glial cells support and protect neurons. The spinal cord has gray matter containing neuron cell bodies surrounded by white matter of myelinated axons.

3. Public Health
“The science and art of preventing disease,
prolonging life, and promoting physical
health and efficiency through organised
community efforts” (Winslow, 1920)
4. ‘The science and art of preventing disease,
prolonging life and promoting health and
improving the quality of life through the
organised efforts and informed choices of
society, organisations, public and private,
communities and individuals’ (Wanless 2004)
5. Dental Public Health
‘The science and art of preventing oral disease,
promoting oral health and improving the quality
of life through the organised efforts and
informed choices of society, organisations,
public and private, communities and
individuals’
(Gallagher 2005, after Wanless
2004)
6. Phases of Public Health
In the history of Public Health 4 distinct phases.
1. Disease control phase (1880-1920)
2. Health promotional phase (1920-1960)
3. Social engineering phase (1960-1980)
4. Health for All phase (1981-2000)
7. Disease Control Phase (1880- 1920)
Control of man’s physical environment. E.g. water
supply, Sewage disposal etc. These measures were
not aimed at the control of any specific disease.
Sanitary legislation e.g. Sanitary awakening in
England.
8. Health Promotional Phase: (1920-1960)
Beginning of 20th century, a new concept, the
concept of health promotion, began to take shape.
Initiate as personal health services such as,
- Mother and child health services
- School health services
- Industrial health services
- Mental health rehabilitation services
9. Health Promotional Phase: (Cont.)
Two great movements were initiated for human
development during the first half.
1. Provision for basic health services through the medium
of primary health and subcentres for the rural and
urban concept of health center was first quoted in
1920, by Lord Dawson of England
2. Second great movement was community development
programme promote village development through the
participation of whole community.
10. Social engineering phase (1960-1980)
With advance in preventive medicine and practice of
public health, the pattern of disease began to change in
the developed world.
Many of the acute illness problems solved, new health
problems in the form of chronic disease began to
emerge, e.g. cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
and alcoholism etc.
These Problems could not be tackled traditional
approaches to public health isolation, immunization and
disinfection.
A new factor Risk Factor as determinants of these
disease came existence. Social and behavioural aspects
of disease and health were given a new priority.
11. Health for All phase (1981-2000)
Most people in the developed countries enjoy all the
determinants of good health, income, nutrition and
education, sanitation etc.
In contrast, only 10-20% of the population in developing
countries enjoy access to health services of any kind.
Against the background in 1981, WHO target to provide
Health for all by the year 2000, that is attainment for all of
a level of health that will permit all people to lead a
socially and economically productive life.
12. Aims (Goals) of PH & DPH
To assess and monitor the health of communities and populations at risk to
identify health problems and priorities.
To formulate public policies, to solve local and national health problems and
priorities.
To assure that all populations have access to cost-effective and appropriate
care, which includes health promotion and disease prevention services.
Assuring the quality and accessibility of health services.
Preventing epidemics and the spread of disease & Preventing injuries.
Promoting and encouraging healthy behaviors.
Protecting against environmental hazards.
In short, the aims of public health are to save money, improve the quality of life,
help population thrive, and reduce human suffering.
13. Tools (core areas) in DPH
1) Epidemiology
2) Biostatistics
3) Social Sciences
4) Principles of Administrations
5) Preventive Dentistry
14. 1. Epidemiology
The study of distribution and determinants of
health related event in population and the
application of this study to control health problem.
Objective:
- to define magnitude of disease
- to identify etiological factor
- to provide data necessary for planning,
implementation and evaluation of PH programme.
15. 2. Biostatistics
Science of compiling, classifying and tabulating
numerical data and expressing the results in a
graphical form.
Objectives:
- to define normality of data
- to test whether the difference between two population regarding a
particular attribute is real or a chance occurrence.
- to study the correlation or association between two or more attributes
in the same population .
- to evaluate the efficacy of vaccines etc, by control studies
- to evaluate achievements of public health programmes
- to fix priorities in public health programmes.
16. 3. Social Sciences
Usually include:
Sociology
Cultural anthropology
Psychology
To know why effort and effect do not match each
other in PH programme.
Health programmes prepared to aid public health
worker in planning, evaluation, fluoridation, etc, in
interest of dental profession.
17. 4. Principles of administration
Organization:
Deals with the structure of an agency .
Way people are arranged into working groups
within it.
Management:
Handling of personnel and operations in such a
way that the work of agency gets done.
Leadership quality.
18. 5. Preventing Dentistry
Levels of prevention:
Primary – health promotion
specific protection (immunization,
hygiene)
Secondary– early diagnosis
prompt treatment
Tertiary – disease control
19. Core functions of DPH
Oral Health promotion and improvement.
Oral Disease surveillance and prevention.
Delivering dental treatments.
Policy and strategy development and implementation.
Conducting field activities.
Conducting school health programme.
20. What would happen if we didn’t
have public health approach?
Oral infectious diseases such as Dental Caries,
Periodontitis and oral cancer would be more
prevalent.
People would be ill from preventable Oral
diseases.
More children would be suffering from dental
caries.
More youth and adults would be smoking or
abusing drugs and alcohol.
Ultimately economy of nation will go down.
22. Survey
Based on chief complaint of the population.
Survey are methods for collection of data analysing
and evaluating them in order to determine the
amount of disease problems in a community.
Parameters include in survey:
- assessment of socioeconomic status of community.
- nature of distribution of community.
- resources available for elimination of problem.
- attitude of community towards health providers.
23. 2. Analysis
To define characteristics of specific health
problems in the community.
Electronic data processing media such as
computers are resorted for analysing data.
24. 3. Programme planning
Designed programme should be accepted by the
community and the people should show an
interest in it.
It has to be ensured that the community is well
informed about the programme and that they
participate in all steps involved.
25. 4. Programme operation
A public health team constituting professionals
in various disciples.
Employed for executing the programme
E.g: water fluoridation in a community with
higher prevalence of dental caries.
26. 5. Financing
Through funds provided by the governments/ by
local or state authorities.
Public health personnel
- identify source for securing funds.
- plan for the management of same funds.
27. 6. Programme appraisal
Effectiveness of programme is assessed.
Dimensions:
efficiency
appropriateness
adequacy
possible side effects
28. Criteria of Public health problems
To be consider as PH problem a disease must meet
one or more of the following criteria:
Disease should be widespread or serious.
Consequences of disease are severe to community &
individuals.
Effective prevention methods/treatment should be
available.
Cost of disease in terms of money, psychological and
physical trauma is great.
