Dentistry for Medical Students: A Brief Overviewminu deshpande
Dr. Morton performed the first successful surgery using ether anesthesia on Eben Frost in 1846, when Mr. Frost underwent a tooth extraction without pain after agreeing to be the first patient to undergo experimental use of ether. This landmark event marked the first documented case of successful painless surgery thanks to anesthesia and shaped the future of medicine, as Dr. Morton then demonstrated the use of general anesthesia for another surgery. The use of anesthesia revolutionized medicine and improved patient experience and outcomes for surgical procedures.
Dentistry has a long history dating back to 7000 BC when primitive bow drills were used to treat tooth problems. Pierre Fauchard in the 17th century is considered the father of modern dentistry for introducing concepts like dental fillings. The first dental college opened in 1840 which led to more standardized training and regulation of the profession. Teeth have important functions like mastication, appearance, speech, and jaw development. There are three stages of dentition - primary, mixed, and permanent - involving the shedding and replacement of teeth.
Ancient Egyptians had a sophisticated medical system with specialized doctors, including dentists, as early as 3000 BC. Dentistry was practiced widely, with skilled dental work found on mummies. Dentists had their own titles and were depicted in tombs. Common dental issues included attrition, abscesses, and tooth loss. Medical texts described dental treatments using herbs, minerals, honey, and gold fillings or bridges. Modern scanning of mummies has provided new insights into ancient Egyptian dental health and practices.
This document has been created to run the MBBS students through the basics of dental health, diseases, dental treatments and Oral Manifestations of Systemic Diseases.
1. The history of operative dentistry dates back thousands of years to ancient civilizations practicing rudimentary dental treatments.
2. Over the centuries, major advances were made in anesthesia, dental materials, equipment, and understanding of disease etiology and treatment.
3. The 20th century saw many refinements to restorative materials like amalgam, gold, and composites as well as developments in bonding agents, cements, and anesthetics that transformed chairside dentistry.
Everyone has to visit a dentist at some point in time. But do you know that dentistry has nine different specialties?
Each specialty deals with a wide array of dental problems.
Dental implants have been used for thousands of years to stabilize or replace missing teeth. The Egyptians began using gold wire to stabilize teeth as early as 2500 BC. The Mayans in 600 AD used pieces of shell in the lower jaw as some of the first true implants. In the 16th century, European doctors implanted human teeth sourced from cadavers into patients, gaining understanding of how blood vessels can grow into teeth. Modern dental implant technology builds on this long history of using implant-like structures to replace missing teeth.

Jimi Hendrix died in 1970 from an accidental drug overdose. He took 7 times the recommended dose of Verperex, a sedative containing barbiturates and antihistamines, while drinking red wine. These drugs are dangerous because they enter the central nervous system through the small intestine with alcohol and can cause the central nervous system to shut down. Jimi was pronounced dead after suffocating on his own vomit.

2. Training programs have developed to include both single-degree and dual-degree residency options to comprehensively cover medical, dental, and surgical skills.
3. The scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery continues to grow with developments in areas like implantology, reconstructive surgery, oncology, and craniofacial surgery.
This document provides an overview of the history and development of dentistry as a profession. It discusses how dentistry dates back to ancient civilizations like the Indus Valley and Sumerians [700 BC], but was not a defined profession until the 1700s. The first dental college opened in 1840 in Baltimore. Specializations in dentistry developed in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The document also outlines common dental procedures, places dentists can work, and why English is important for the career. It discusses Colombia becoming a destination for dental tourism and innovations like digital 3D dentistry.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Barbers often assisted monks in their surgical ministry because they visited monasteries to shave the heads of monks and the tools of the barber trade—sharp knives and razors—were useful for surgery. After the edicts, barbers assume the monks’ surgical duties: bloodletting, lancing abscesses, extracting teeth, etc.
28. Cont. 1210 –A Guild of Barbers is established in France.

Editor's Notes
There are different types of dentistry
Make short sentences.General dentistry involves the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of conditions, disorders and diseases affecting the teeth, gums and maxillofacial region of the body. General dentists provide services related to the general maintenance of oral hygiene and tooth health
Dentist for all people instead of an individual. Dentist that is concerned with preventing and controlling dental diseases and promoting dental health through organized community efforts rather than through treatment of individual patients.
It is one of the ADA specialties that focus on the human dental pulp and periradicular tissue. It includes the study of the normal pulp, as well as the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and injuries that involve the dental pulp. These dentists specialize in root canal surgery and therapy, especially for patients with difficult cases.
Type of dentistry that focuses on diseases that affect the oral and maxillofacial regions. This includes the causes and courses of these diseases, as well as research and diagnosis using various examinations.
Oral and maxillofacial radiology is akin to its pathology partner, but this specialty utilizes radiology to create and interpret images of the oral, neck, and facial regions. Through radiological analysis, such as CT Scans, MRI, Ultrasounds, and Orthopantomograms, this ADA specialty works to diagnose and manage various oral diseases and underlying conditions.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons treat defects, diseases, and injuries of the jaw, mouth, skull, and even face. These surgeons have dentistry training, as well as surgical specialty. They have an ability to treat both the hard and soft tissues of these areas, and can pertain to both functional aspects as well as aesthetic ones. Patients that would see an oral and maxillofacial surgery may require dental surgery, lip reconstruction, cleft and palate surgeries, and TMJ treatment.
Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics is the ADA specialty that focuses on the neuromuscular and skeletal abnormalities of orofacial structures. This includes diagnosis, preventing, and corrections of malocclusions and other problems. Most people commonly associate orthodontics with corrective braces, but they also can treat and manage other oral issues.
Dentist that works with infants, children, and adolescents. It focuses on both preventative and therapeutic care, including dental care for children with special dental health needs. Considering that children and adults have different health needs, pediatric dentistry ensures that younger patients get the specialized care needed for optimal oral health.
Periodontics is one of the ADA specialties that manages the areas that support the tooth structure – treating any of the diseases and conditions that impact these regions. Periodontal diseases have different manifestations, but some common forms are gingivitis, which untreated can deteriorate the tooth and bone area. Periodontics includes diagnosing, preventing, and treating diseases, as well as assisting patients with maintaining the function, looks, and health of these structures.
The ADA specialty of prosthodontics focuses on patients that have missing or deficient teeth. Specialized in implants, reconstructive, and esthetic dentistry, prosthodontists work to restore the full oral function of teeth and its support areas. This includes the diagnosis of problems, as well as the rehabilitation of oral effectiveness and the maintenance of prosthetics that are placed.
Particularly in mammals, evolutionary adaptation of teeth for processing different kinds of food is one of the major reasons this vertebrate class has been so successful.Carnivores, such as members of the dog and cat families, generally have pointed incisors and canines that can be used to kill prey and rip or cut away pieces of flesh. The jagged premolars and molars crush and shred food. In contrast, herbivorous mammals, such as horses and deer, usually have teeth with broad, ridged surfaces that grind tough plant material. The incisors and canines are generally modified for biting off pieces of vegetation. In some herbivorous mammals, canines are absent.Humans, being omnivores adapted for eating both vegetation and meat, have a relatively unspecialized dentition. The permanent (adult) set of teeth is 32 in number. Beginning at the midline of the upper and lower jaw are two bladelike incisors for biting, a pointed canine for tearing, two premolars for grinding, and three molars for crushing.
Cementum - a layer of tough, yellowish, bone-like tissue that covers the root of a tooth. It helps hold the tooth in the socket.Crown - the visible part of a tooth.Dentin - the intermediate tooth layer, the dentin is harder than bone.Enamel - the hard shiny, white outer surface of the tooth, it is hydroxyapatite, which is a crystalline calcium phosphateNerves & Pulp - nerves transmit signals (conveying messages like hot, cold, or pain) to and from the brain, the soft center of the tooth. The pulp contains blood vessels and nerves; it nourishes the dentin.Periodontal ligament - the fleshy tissue between tooth and the tooth socket; it holds the tooth in place.Root - the anchor of a tooth that extends into the jawbone. The number of roots ranges from one to four.
It has existed since 7000 BC. Tooth decay was very prevalent in that days. They would simply pull the decayed tooth using forceps. Egyptians were the first to practice dental surgery and prosthetics. Modern dentistry developed out of 17th century Europe. Charles Allen wrote a book about dentistry in 1685, leading to the studies of Pierre Fauchard of France. Fauchard, who is known as the leading pioneer in the modern field of dentistry, was the first to use dental fillings and he discovered the chemicals that cause tooth decay.

Fauchard, who is known as the leading pioneer in the modern field of dentistry, was the first to use dental fillings and he discovered the chemicals that cause tooth decay.
The first American woman dentist was Emeline Roberts, who in 1854 at the age of 17 married Dr. Daniel Albion Jones of Connecticut. She became his assistant in his dental practice and studied at night the basic dental sciences until she was able to become his partner in 1859. After his death in 1864, she took over his practice for sixty years. In 1893, she was appointed a member of the Women’s Advisory Council of the World’s Columbian Dental Congress, and in 1912 she was awarded honorary membership in the Connecticut Dental Society
At 17 years of age, she worked for her husband, who trained her in his office to become a dentist. She later opened her own dental practice.
Tooth decay results from the action of bacteria that live in plaque, which is a sticky, whitish film formed by a protein in saliva (mucin) and sugary substances in the mouth. The plaque bacteria sticking to tooth enamel use the sugar and starch from food particles in the mouth to produce acid.
5000 BC – A Sumerian text of this date describes “tooth worms” as the cause of dental decay.2700 BC – Evidence that the Chinese used acupuncture to treat pain associated with tooth decay.2600 BC – Death of Hesy-Re, an Egyptian scribe, often called the first “dentist.” An inscription on his tomb includes the title “ the greatest of those who deal with teeth, and of physicians.: This is the earliest known reference to a person identified as a dental practitioner.
The image below shows a similar dental bridge created by the Egyptians that uses gold wires to hold the teeth together.
500-300 BC – Hippocrates and Aristotle write about dentistry, including the eruption pattern of teeth, treating decayed teeth and gum disease, extracting teeth with forceps, and using wires to stabilize loose teeth and fractured jaws. 100 BC – Celsus, a Roman medical writer, writes extensively in his important compendium of medicine on oral hygiene, stabilization of loose teeth, and treatments for toothache, teething pain, and jaw fractures.
500-1000 – During the Early Middle Ages in Europe medicine, surgery, and dentistry, are generally practiced by monks,the most educated people of the period1130-1163–A series of Papal edicts prohibit monks from performing any type of surgery, bloodletting or tooth extraction.

After the edicts, barbers assume the monks’ surgical duties: bloodletting, lancing abscesses, extracting teeth, etc.
1790—John Greenwood, son of Isaac Greenwood and one of George Washington’s dentists, constructs the first known dental foot engine. He adapts his mother’s foot treadle spinning wheel to rotate a drill.
1816 Auguste Taveau, Paris, developed first dental amalgam(fillings from silver coins mixed with mercury).
1800s-The collapsible metal tube revolutionizes toothpaste manufacturing and marketing. Dentifrice had been available only in liquid or powder form, usually made by individual dentists, and sold in bottles, porcelain pots, or paper boxes. Tube toothpaste, in contrast, is mass-produced in factories, mass-marketed, and sold nation-wide. In twenty years, it becomes the norm.1890—Ida Gray, the first African-American woman to earn a dental degree, graduates from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry.
1890—Willoughby Miller an American dentist in Germany, notes the microbial basis of dental decay in his book Micro-Organisms of the Human Mouth. This generates an unprecedented interest in oral hygiene and starts a world-wide movement to promote regular tooth brushing and flossing.
1913—Alfred C. Fones opens the Fones Clinic For Dental Hygienists in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the world’s first oral hygiene school. Most of the twenty—seven women graduates of the first class are employed by the Bridgeport Board of Education to clean the teeth of school children. The greatly reduced incidence of caries among these children gives impetus to the dental hygienist movement. Dr. Fones, first to use the term “dental hygienist,” becomes known as the Father of Dental Hygiene.
