Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become fragile and more likely to break, affecting over 28 million Americans, mostly women. It is caused by bone loss increasing faster than bone formation as people age. Risk factors include family history, small frame, smoking, excessive alcohol, lack of exercise, and low calcium/vitamin D intake. While there is no cure, lifestyle changes like weight-bearing exercise, adequate calcium and vitamin D, not smoking, and medications can help prevent osteoporosis and fractures.

Osteoporosis and osteomalacia
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become brittle and fragile due to loss of tissue, often as a result of hormonal changes or deficiencies in calcium or vitamin D. It is caused by lower bone density and loss of the internal supporting structure of bones. Risk factors include being female, older age, small frame size, family history, and low calcium intake. Symptoms may include back pain, loss of height, and fractures from minor injuries. Diagnosis involves bone density scans and lab tests. Treatment focuses on hormone therapy, medications, calcium/vitamin supplements, exercise, and nutrition.
Osteomalacia and Osteoporosis
This document summarizes and compares osteomalacia and osteoporosis. It begins with background on bone structure and remodeling and the role of calcium, phosphorus, and hormones like vitamin D and parathyroid hormone in bone metabolism. It then describes osteomalacia as a disease of inadequate bone mineralization typically due to vitamin D deficiency, preventing calcium absorption and weakening bones. Osteoporosis is characterized by gradual bone mass loss and weakness, influenced by aging, nutrition, and other risk factors. While both result in fragile bones that fracture easily, osteomalacia specifically involves low blood calcium and decreased mineralization compared to normal mineralization in osteoporosis.
Osteomalacia
This document discusses osteomalacia, a disease characterized by softening of the bones due to defective mineralization. It is caused by vitamin D deficiency and/or phosphate deficiency. Signs include diffuse body pains, muscle weakness, and fragile bones. Laboratory findings show low calcium and phosphate levels as well as elevated alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone levels. Treatment involves vitamin D and calcium supplementation. Exercise and sunlight exposure can also help strengthen bones affected by osteomalacia.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a bone disorder characterized by low bone density and mass, leading to an increased risk of fractures. It is a growing epidemic, with over 75 million cases in the US, Europe and Japan expected to increase further. Risk factors include age, gender, family history, lifestyle factors like smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and certain medical conditions or medications. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, bone density scans, and biochemical markers. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise, calcium intake, and vitamin D; medications include hormones, biphosphonates, and teriparatide injections in severe cases. Preventing osteoporosis requires modifiable lifestyle changes and responsible self-care.

The document provides information about osteoporosis including goals of increasing awareness, facts and statistics, risk factors, prevention strategies, and bone density testing. The goals are to educate the public about prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis through a community program. It discusses osteoporosis prevalence, risk factors like age and family history, the importance of calcium and vitamin D, and recommends those at high risk discuss bone density testing with their healthcare provider.
Osteomalacia
This document discusses metabolic bone diseases including osteomalacia and rickets. It provides details on bone histology, calcium homeostasis, vitamin D metabolism, and the roles of parathyroid hormone and calcitonin in regulating calcium levels. It describes the causes, clinical features, investigations and treatments of osteomalacia and rickets. Osteomalacia is characterized by softening of bones from defective mineralization in adults, while rickets causes softening of bones and growth plate abnormalities in children, often due to vitamin D or calcium deficiencies.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by porous and fragile bones due to loss of bone density and mass. It is defined as having a bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations or more below the mean bone density of a young adult. Risk factors include advanced age, female sex, menopause, family history of fractures, vitamin D deficiency, physical inactivity, and certain medical conditions. Osteoporosis occurs when bone resorption exceeds bone formation due to factors like low estrogen levels, high parathyroid hormone levels, and inadequate vitamin D and calcium. Treatment focuses on lifestyle modifications, supplements like calcium and vitamin D, and medications that reduce bone resorption or promote bone formation.
Osteomalacia osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a chronic, progressive metabolic bone disease characterized by porous bone and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to increased bone fragility and fracture risk. It is caused by an imbalance between bone resorption and formation where resorption exceeds formation. Risk factors include female gender, older age, small body frame, family history, smoking, excessive alcohol, low calcium intake, and medical conditions like hyperthyroidism. Diagnosis is made through bone mineral density tests and x-rays. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, as well as medications to reduce resorption and increase formation.

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a silent epidemic that causes bones to become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. It is caused by a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors that lead to a loss of bone mass as people age. While osteoporosis has no symptoms, it can be diagnosed through bone mineral density tests and is a major public health problem due to its link to fractures, especially of the hip, back, and wrist, which can reduce mobility and quality of life. Prevention focuses on adequate calcium, vitamin D, exercise and avoiding risk factors like smoking to build strong bones early in life and maintain bone mass with age.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a major health problem in India, affecting over 43 million women. Some key facts are that over 61 million Indians have osteoporosis, with 80% being women. Indians also have the highest rates of osteopenia globally. Osteoporotic fractures occur earlier in Indians compared to other populations and are more common in Indian men. Poor calcium intake, lack of exercise, vitamin D deficiency, and low bone mineral density contribute to higher osteoporosis rates in India. Osteoporosis poses a serious burden through increased fracture risk and reduced quality of life.

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and brittle and break easily. It most commonly affects post-menopausal women. Bones reach their maximum strength in one's 20s and 30s, but then begin losing density after age 35 as more bone is lost than replaced. Risk factors include age, sex, menopause, diet, family history, smoking, alcohol, and lack of exercise. Weight-bearing exercises are important for building strong bones and reducing osteoporosis risk by maximizing peak bone density when young.

Future directions are identified like better understanding nutrient requirements in different populations and roles of nutrients beyond calcium and vitamin D in bone health.
Osteoporosis , causes , last update
Osteoporosis is a chronic disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to fragile bones that are more prone to fractures. It occurs due to an imbalance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. Key factors that contribute to osteoporosis include estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women, aging, calcium deficiency, use of corticosteroids, and lack of exercise. Preventive measures include maintaining a diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D, engaging in weight-bearing exercise, not smoking, and taking measures to prevent falls in older adults.
Postmenopausal osteoporosis
Prof. Muhammad Aslam from the Department of ObGyn at LGH Lahore discusses osteoporosis and its prevention through nutrition. Osteoporosis causes millions of fractures annually worldwide and leads to disability and death for many elderly. Key nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K play important roles in bone health and fracture prevention. Maintaining sufficient intake of these nutrients through diet and supplements can help attain peak bone mass and protect against osteoporosis and fractures later in life.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a bone disease where bones become weak and fragile from loss of tissue, increasing risk of fractures. It is caused by an imbalance where the body makes too little bone or absorbs too much. Symptoms include back pain and fractures of the spine or other bones. Treatment focuses on medications and lifestyle changes to slow bone loss and reduce fracture risk, including bisphosphonates, calcium, vitamin D, exercise, and limiting alcohol. Preventing osteoporosis involves building strong bones in youth and maintaining bone health with diet and exercise as an adult.
Skeletal system
This document discusses osteoporosis and bone fractures. It defines osteoporosis as a bone disease where the body fails to form enough new bone or absorbs too much old bone. It affects more women after menopause and men after age 70. Bone fractures are breaks in the bone that can result from injury or diseases like osteoporosis. Symptoms include bone pain, loss of height, and fractures from minor impacts. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications, and exercise to reduce fracture risk and build strong bones.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become less dense and more prone to fractures over time. It occurs when bone resorption exceeds bone formation, removing more calcium than can be replaced. Risk factors include older age, female gender, family history, smoking, excessive alcohol, medications, and lack of exercise. Symptoms may include fractures from minor falls or injuries, loss of height, back pain, and stooped posture. It is diagnosed using DEXA scans to measure bone mineral density. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise, calcium/vitamin D supplements, and medications like bisphosphonates, denosumab, or raloxifene to slow bone loss and increase bone strength.
Osteoporosis: causes, symptoms, treatment
Osteoporosis is a disease where bone density decreases, making bones more brittle and prone to fractures. It is caused by age-related reduction in calcium and vitamin D, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol, genetics, and other medical conditions. Many people experience no symptoms initially, but later can have bone pain, fractures, or stooped posture. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise and diet, along with medications to strengthen bones and reduce pain as recommended by a doctor. Preventing osteoporosis requires quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, preventing falls, and maintaining good nutrition.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease where bone density and quality decreases, increasing the risk of fractures. It affects over 200 million people worldwide and is a major cause of disability. Risk factors include age, family history, smoking, excessive alcohol, low body weight, and lack of exercise. To protect bones, one should ensure adequate calcium, vitamin D, and protein intake through diet, get regular weight-bearing exercise, avoid risk factors like smoking, limit alcohol, and see a doctor to assess risk and consider treatment if high-risk. Adhering to lifestyle changes and any medical treatment is important to reduce fracture risk.

Osteoporosis and treatment
This document discusses various medications approved for treating osteoporosis. It describes bisphosphonates, which decrease bone loss by inhibiting osteoclasts, as well as selective estrogen receptor modulators like raloxifene. Strontium ranelate, teriparatide, and calcitonin are also outlined as they increase bone formation or decrease resorption. New drugs under investigation include denosumab, romosozumab, and ostabolin-cyclic PTH1-35 which aim to reduce fractures by novel mechanisms of bone formation or resorption inhibition.
The treatment of osteoporosis
This document discusses osteoporosis, its pathogenesis, current treatment options, and potential future therapies. It describes how osteoporosis results from an imbalance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. Current treatments either inhibit osteoclastic activity to decrease bone resorption or stimulate osteoblastic activity to increase bone formation. First-line therapies are bisphosphonates and calcitonin, while PTH is used for high-risk patients. Emerging drugs combine anti-resorptive and anabolic mechanisms or target new pathways like sclerostin inhibition. Future therapies aim to have better safety profiles and reliable biomarkers for prevention.

Health of bones
Osteoporosis is a disease where bone density decreases and bones become more fragile and prone to fractures. It affects over 10 million Americans, especially post-menopausal women. To prevent and slow bone loss, one should get enough calcium and vitamin D through foods or supplements, do weight-bearing exercise, and protect themselves from falls. Bone density tests can detect osteoporosis early before fractures occur. Medications may be needed if bone loss has progressed to osteopenia or osteoporosis.
Prevent Osteoporosis
Our bones are constantly being remodeled through bone building and loss. During younger years, bone building exceeds loss but later in life loss increases. Osteoporosis occurs when bone loss causes bones to weaken and fracture more easily, especially in the hip, wrist and spine. Risk factors include being female, older age, family history, low body weight, smoking, excessive alcohol, eating disorders and some medications. Preventing osteoporosis involves regular weight-bearing exercise, sufficient calcium and vitamin D, medication if needed, and not smoking. Bone density tests can identify osteoporosis before fractures occur.
Global Medical Cures™ | Lactose Intolerance & Osteoporosis
Lactose intolerance occurs when the body does not produce enough lactase to digest lactose in dairy products, leading to gas, cramps, and diarrhea. While some studies found people with lactose intolerance are at higher risk for osteoporosis due to lower calcium intake, other studies did not find this link. Regardless, people with lactose intolerance should focus on meeting calcium and vitamin D needs through supplements and lactose-reduced dairy to build strong bones and prevent osteoporosis.
Osteoprosis
Osteoporosis is a disease where bone density decreases, making bones more brittle and prone to fracture. It is most common in older women after menopause when estrogen levels drop. Calcium and vitamin D deficiencies can contribute to osteoporosis. A DEXA scan is used to diagnose based on bone mineral density T-scores. Treatment focuses on preventing further bone loss through medications, lifestyle changes like exercise, and maintaining calcium and vitamin D levels through diet.
Osteoporosis overview (3)4
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, making them more likely to fracture. It typically affects bones of the hip, wrist, and spine. While genetic factors contribute, modifiable risk factors include lack of exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol, and inadequate calcium and vitamin D. A DXA scan can detect low bone density before fractures occur. Maintaining strong bones involves getting enough calcium and vitamin D through diet or supplements, weight-bearing exercise, avoiding smoking and excessive drinking. Medications may also help if bone loss has progressed.
Prevent and Treat Osteoporosis 9769352147
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become brittle and prone to fractures due to loss of bone density. It is estimated that over 300 million Indians have osteoporosis. Symptoms may not appear until a fracture occurs. Risk factors include age, gender, family history, small frame size, smoking, excessive alcohol, low calcium intake, and medications like corticosteroids. Diagnosis involves a bone density scan, with results given as a T-score. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and bone-boosting drugs. Maintaining bone health throughout life can help prevent osteoporosis and fractures later in life.
Bone Health, Nutrition and Epilepsy
This document discusses bone health and osteoporosis in people with epilepsy. It notes that epilepsy and anti-seizure medications can increase the risk of osteoporosis. Maintaining bone health requires adequate nutrition, exercise, sleep, and hydration. Osteoporosis screening is recommended, and treatment options like calcium supplements, vitamin D, and medications can help if osteoporosis is diagnosed. Lifestyle factors and medication choices impact bone remodeling throughout life.
Osteo Atharva
Osteoporosis is a growing health problem affecting 1 in 3 women aged 30-50 in cities, characterized by low bone mass and increased fracture risk. It occurs when bone resorption exceeds bone formation, usually after age 30. Post-menopausal women are most at risk due to estrogen changes. Risk factors include family history, steroid use, smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise, and not getting enough calcium and vitamin D. Ayurveda sees it as bone marrow and bone loss (Asthikshya and Majjakshaya) caused by aggravated vata dosha. Treatment focuses on pacifying vata with herbal supplements, therapies, and lifestyle changes like exercise and nutrition to prevent
Prevent osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become porous, brittle and shrink due to not getting enough calcium or nutrients from food. It affects over 25 million people, mostly women during their teenage years. Studies show that Americans do not consume enough calcium-rich foods like milk, cheese and yogurt, and instead prefer soft drinks and junk food. Exercising is important for strengthening bones and preventing osteoporosis, as activities like walking, jogging and swimming help maintain bone density.
Avoid osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become porous and fragile, affecting over 20 million Americans. It develops during childhood when many do not consume enough calcium through dairy or other foods. Exercise is also important for building strong bones, but many do not meet daily activity recommendations. Consuming calcium-rich foods like yogurt, ice cream and pudding can help prevent osteoporosis by supporting bone health.

In this community lecture given live on our Berkeley Heights, NJ campus, Dr. Toscano-Zukor, explains how to identify your risk factors for osteoporosis as well as prevent and treat this disease.
Osteroperosis Release
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become brittle and prone to fractures due to loss of bone density. Four out of five women will develop some form of osteoporosis as they age unless preventative measures are taken. Factors that increase the risk include age, gender, family history, low body weight, race, menopause and diet. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends getting enough calcium and vitamin D through diet and supplements, engaging in weight-bearing exercise, avoiding smoking and excess alcohol, talking to a doctor about bone health, and getting bone density scans. The StrongWomen program offered by Penn State Cooperative Extension teaches exercises and nutrition to help prevent osteoporosis.
Eating for bone health
Bone disease can cause pain, deformity, and mobility issues if left untreated. It is often called a "silent" condition since many people are unaware they have it until suffering a fracture. Calcium and vitamin D are essential for building and maintaining strong bones. Good sources of calcium include dairy products, dark leafy greens, fish, nuts, beans, and fortified foods. Adults need 1000-1200 mg of calcium and 600-800 IU of vitamin D daily depending on age and gender. While foods should be the primary source, supplements may be needed to meet calcium requirements with a doctor's approval.
Osteoporosis presentation 2010
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become fragile and porous, increasing the risk of fractures. It is most common in women after menopause when estrogen levels drop and accelerate bone loss. Preventing osteoporosis requires building strong bones through exercise and nutrition, especially calcium and vitamin D, during childhood and early adulthood to achieve peak bone mass. Lifestyle factors like smoking, excess alcohol, and a sedentary lifestyle can increase osteoporosis risk. Diagnosis involves bone density scans and treatment focuses on lifestyle changes and medications to prevent fractures.

Vitamin D And Health Presentation Z 8 05 09
The document summarizes recent research on vitamin D and its links to various chronic diseases. It finds that vitamin D is important for calcium absorption and other body functions, and recommends getting adequate vitamin D through sunlight exposure, dietary sources like fatty fish and fortified foods, and supplements if needed. Getting enough vitamin D may help reduce the risk of diseases like cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis.
Lupus.and.bonehealth
Bone is living tissue that is constantly broken down and rebuilt. During teenage years, bone growth outpaces breakdown due to hormones, leading to peak bone mass by age 20-30. After age 30, breakdown and rebuilding are balanced until menopause in women causes estrogen loss and more breakdown. People with lupus are at higher risk of osteoporosis due to steroids, inflammation from the disease, and other factors. Regular screening, calcium, vitamin D, exercise, and medications can help prevent or treat osteoporosis in people with lupus.

Dental Implant Reliability Improvement
Dental implants have become a popular tooth replacement option. However, some implants fail within a few years. Researchers are developing new implant surface treatments and designs to improve osseointegration between the implant and jawbone. This could lead to stronger bonding and more reliable implants that last longer.
Dental Radiography Safety
The document discusses dental radiography safety. It provides guidelines for digital radiography, including that it requires 50-80% less radiation than film systems. It outlines safety procedures for dental radiography, such as shielding the patient and staff with lead aprons, limiting radiation exposure to the minimum needed for diagnosis, and ensuring the operator stands at least six feet from the radiation beam. Regulations in Massachusetts require radiation badges for those who operate dental radiographic systems.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation in Pediatric Dentistry
Nitrous oxide is commonly used in pediatric dentistry to reduce anxiety and increase pain tolerance. It works by inducing analgesia while keeping the patient conscious. When administered properly via scavenging equipment and oxygen flush, it can significantly decrease fear over multiple sessions. However, chronic exposure to nitrous oxide poses health risks, so scavenging and ventilation are important to maintain safe ambient levels below recommended limits. Complications are rare when administered carefully by trained professionals according to established guidelines.
Primary angioplasty
The document discusses strategies for early treatment of acute myocardial infarction. It provides evidence that pre-hospital thrombolytic therapy can significantly reduce mortality rates compared to in-hospital thrombolytic therapy by reducing treatment delays. Studies show administering thrombolysis within 30-60 minutes of symptoms onset can save 11-60 lives per 1000 patients. Combined strategies using both pre-hospital thrombolysis and immediate angioplasty have demonstrated high rates of coronary reperfusion and good long-term outcomes.
Emergency In Dentistry Part 1
The document outlines the basic steps of life support (BLS) including assessment, airway management, breathing, circulation, and defibrillation.
Step 1 involves checking for unresponsiveness and calling for help. Step 2 is opening the airway and checking breathing, providing positive pressure ventilation if needed.
Step 3 involves assessing circulation by feeling the carotid pulse and performing chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute with a compression to ventilation ratio of 15:2 if no pulse is detected.
Foreign object removal techniques like abdominal thrusts and finger sweeps are described. Oxygen therapy, airway devices, endotracheal intubation and the emergency cart are also summarized.

This document discusses Invisalign orthodontic treatment compared to traditional braces. It provides information on what Invisalign is, its advantages like aesthetics and comfort, and disadvantages like limited control over tooth movement. Two studies on Invisalign outcomes are summarized, finding limited evidence due to small sample sizes and high dropout rates. A third study directly compared Invisalign and braces treatment, finding Invisalign scored lower on post-treatment evaluation and had shorter treatment times but less ideal occlusions. In conclusion, Invisalign may not achieve as satisfactory results as braces for all patients.
How to Use Dental Floss
The document provides instructions for properly flossing one's teeth. It explains that most people floss incorrectly or inconsistently. It then outlines the proper flossing technique, which includes winding floss around fingers, using an up-and-down zig-zag motion to guide floss between teeth while pressing it against the tooth's side in a C-shape and scraping underneath the gumline. It emphasizes flossing all teeth daily for proper oral hygiene.
Face Eye Trauma
This document provides information on maxillofacial, ophthalmic, dental, and neck trauma. It discusses the anatomy and injuries related to the face, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and neck. Some key points include: facial bone fractures can interfere with breathing; LeFort fractures are specially named facial fractures; blows to the eye can cause orbital fractures; dental trauma is common and broken teeth may be aspirated; epistaxis is a common nasal injury; and neck injuries require careful management of the airway. Proper management prioritizes the ABCs and considers risks such as bleeding, foreign bodies, and spinal motion restriction.
Dental Caries
The document defines dental caries as a disease caused by bacteria in the mouth that ferment dietary carbohydrates, producing acid that demineralizes tooth enamel and destroys tooth structure. The major factors contributing to dental caries are certain bacteria like Streptococcus mutans; dental plaque that allows bacteria to adhere to teeth; saliva, which can increase the cariogenic effect while also helping to clean teeth; and consumption of fermentable carbohydrates like sugars, which feed the bacteria. The microbiology section notes that the main bacteria involved are streptococci and lactobacilli, while other bacteria like actinomyces may also play a role.

This document summarizes recent evidence from clinical trials on the treatment of hypertension, with a focus on patients with type 2 diabetes. It discusses trials comparing different classes of antihypertensive drugs and levels of blood pressure control. The evidence suggests that ACE inhibitors may provide greater benefits for diabetic patients compared to other drugs, reducing cardiovascular events and slowing kidney and eye disease progression. Intensive blood pressure control is also supported, though some calcium channel blockers may increase cardiovascular risk in diabetes. Ongoing long-term safety documentation is still needed for many antihypertensive agents.

This document describes a case report of a 17-year-old girl who developed subcutaneous emphysema in her face and neck following a complicated tooth extraction. During the extraction, the tooth crown broke and an air-turbine drill had to be used. She experienced sudden swelling and pressure. Examination found swelling and crepitus without tenderness. X-rays confirmed subcutaneous emphysema in the neck. She was treated with oxygen, fluids, and antibiotics and recovered fully within 5 days. The case illustrates that subcutaneous emphysema is a rare but possible complication of dental procedures that practitioners should be aware of.
Psychology in Dentistry
The document discusses the role of psychology in dentistry. It notes that dental students are bright and motivated but have different learning styles than memorization. It also discusses the importance of psychology skills like communication, managing anxiety and pain, and working with special patient populations. The challenges are that dental curricula are technique focused and psychology is not always seen as practical. Potential solutions involve more collaborative relationships between dentistry and psychology to shift to a systems-based, integrated curriculum focused on the whole patient.

Long QT Syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval on electrocardiogram that can cause dangerous arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Symptoms include unexplained fainting, seizures, or sudden death, especially with exercise or emotions. Treatment involves beta blockers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, or left stellate ganglionectomy depending on risk level and genotype. Ongoing research seeks to better understand genotype-phenotype relationships and develop mutation-specific therapies.
Dental Care of the Future: Part I
The document discusses the changing paradigm in dental care from the nonspecific plaque hypothesis (NSPH) to the specific plaque hypothesis (SPH). It summarizes the key differences between the two approaches. The NSPH assumed all plaque was equally pathogenic, while more recent evidence shows only certain plaque bacteria cause infections. The SPH recognizes healthy and infected plaque can be differentiated microbiologically, enabling more targeted treatment of the infection-causing bacteria.
Community Dentistry Years I - IV
This document outlines the curriculum for community dentistry over four years of study. It includes courses in epidemiological methods, determinants of health and disease, clinical epidemiology, evidence-based care, communication, ethics, and jurisprudence. Students will learn to evaluate clinical care and evidence as well as provide care to patients. The document also provides an introduction to epidemiology, including its nature, contributions to dentistry, and examples like the 1854 London cholera epidemic and fluoride/dental caries relationship.
Preventive Dentistry Lecture Cde Course
This document summarizes a continued care model for pediatric preventive dentistry. It discusses key factors in caries prevention like oral hygiene, diet, fluoride therapy, and fissure sealants. It outlines a model where children are classified based on their risk level and receive health promotion materials every 6 weeks. The goal is to reward cavity-free children with a "No Cavity Club" membership and cash value they can use at stores. The model aims to increase awareness, motivate healthy behaviors, and invest in children's oral health long-term.
Diabetes Mellitus patients in dental management
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by relative or absolute insulin deficiency that affects 6% of the US population. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 is characterized by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing cells and requires insulin treatment; type 2 is more common and results from impaired insulin function and insulin resistance. Without proper glucose control, diabetes can lead to serious long-term complications affecting many organ systems like the eyes, kidneys, heart, and nerves. Dental professionals need to consider a patient's medical history and glycemic control to minimize risks during treatment and manage emergencies like hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Minimal Intervention Dentistry – The Challenge for Materials
The document discusses minimal intervention dentistry, which takes a medical approach to treating tooth decay rather than a surgical approach. It focuses on retaining tooth structure by remineralizing early lesions and using preventive measures and minimally invasive surgery. This approach makes significant demands on dental materials, which must adhere well, release fluoride and other minerals, and be easily repairable. Minimal intervention dentistry is advocated as the future approach because it is more biological, less traumatic for patients, and cost effective compared to more extensive surgical treatments.
ANATOMY of TEETH 2 1. Anatomy of a tooth. a. Anatomical crown ...
The document discusses the anatomy of teeth. It describes the different parts of a tooth including the anatomical crown, clinical crown, root, and apex. It outlines the four main tissues that make up teeth: enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. Enamel covers the crown and is the hardest material in the body. Dentin makes up most of the tooth and is covered by enamel and cementum. Cementum covers the root and anchors the tooth. The pulp contains blood vessels and nerves. The document also discusses the periodontium, which includes the alveolar bone socket, periodontal ligaments that connect the tooth to bone, and surrounding gingiva.
Dental Anatomy
The document discusses dental anatomy terminology. It describes the maxilla and mandible bones that hold teeth. There are usually 20 primary or deciduous teeth that are replaced over 2.5 years by 32 permanent teeth over 20 years. Teeth have a crown above the gumline made of enamel and a root below made of cementum. Teeth also have dentin, pulp chambers containing nerves and blood vessels, and surfaces like facial, lingual, occlusal, and proximal.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
