Oral medicineWhile hypertension can have various health implications, it is not typically
associated with delayed wound healing. In contrast, malignancy, diabetes, and
infection are known to impair the healing process.

Dental MaterialsResilience is the amount of energy absorbed by a structure when it is stressed to proportional Limit.
The elastic area of the stress-strain graph gives resilience; entire area up to breaking point is a measure of toughness.
The slope of straight Line gives Young’s modulus.

Periodontics
This process occurs due to the deposition of minerals, primarily calcium and
phosphate ions, in the presence of organic matrix components and bacteria within
the plaque.
Mineralization in dental plaque often starts at the interface between the tooth
surface and the plaque, where the organic matrix provides a substrate forthe
deposition of mineral ions.
As the process continues, the plaque can become increasingly calcified, with the
mineral content moving from the tooth surface outwards towards the surface of
the plaque.
This can lead to the formation oftartar or dental calculus, which is a hardened
deposit of mineralized plaque that can contribute to dental diseases like
gingivitis and periodontitis.

Public Health DentistryIn epidemiology, incidence refers to the number of new cases of a disease or
condition that occur within a specific time frame in a defined population.
Dental caries, also known as tooth decay, is a common chronic condition where
bacteria in the mouth produce acids that destroy the tooth enamel and underlying
dentin, leading to cavities. The incidence of dental caries would be the number
of new cases of tooth decay diagnosed within a given period, say a year or
another time interval.
Point prevalence, on the other hand, is the proportion of a population that has
a specific condition at a particular point in time. It is a measure of the
prevalence of dental caries at a single moment, which does not account for new
cases or recoveries.
Period prevalence is the proportion of the population that has had a particular
condition during a specific period of time, such as a year or a month. This
measure includes both new cases and cases that have persisted from before the
start of the period in question.
