Diet nutrition and oral health Flashcards
diet
sum of food consumed by a person
food a person habitually eats
nutrition
quality of the food itself
nutrition is the food that our bodies need to consume daily for our bodies to functin
what can affect enamel developing
nutritional deficiencie
nutritional excesses
excess fluoride causes
dental fluorisis
GIT upset
respiratory upset death
antibiotic used for periodontal disease achne chest infectios..
tetracyclne
tetracycline effect on teeth
will cuase intrinsic staining of enamel and banding marks
effects of vit D deficiency
- large pulp chambers
- large/prominent pulp horns
- enamel hypoplasia
- clefts and tubular defects in dentine
consequences of vit D deficiency symtpoms
- due to thin enamel, prominent pulp horns and clefts in dentine patients may present with spontaneous dental abscesses
what disease means that pateitns cannot metabolise vit D
resistant rickets
risk factors for vit D deficiency
high BMI
low fish consumption
low education level
limited skin exposire
calcium and phosphate role in enamel
enamel defects develop such as hypoplasias
malunitrirtion and its role in dental development
enamel hypoplasia (linear grooves) involving prumary incisors delayed dental eruption suspected early mannitrition
erosion
loss of dentla hard tissues by a chemcical process that does not involve bacteria
extrinsic causes of erosion
- acidic drinks (most fruit flavoured or carbonated drinks)
- acidic food (citrus fruits, yogurts)
- Vit C tablets
- Pickled foods and vinegar
Dietary risk factors for erosion - More than 2 citrus fruits daily
- vegetarians/vegans
- more than 4 carbonated drinks daily – 252% increased risk
children fed via peg (percutanous endoscopic gastrostomy feeding tuve)
These children seem to readily develop excessive calculus deposits on all tooth surface
- not able to chew or swallow
- will not develop caries due to no food
- not getting flow of salvia due to no stimulus so calculus can pool and build up
