EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the detrimental effects of dental plaque and tartar on a patient's lower jaw. The incisors are visibly coated in bacterial plaque and tartar, represented by its distinct brown coloration. Tartar, also known as calculus, is a hardened deposit that forms on tooth surfaces, hindering proper teeth cleaning. Plaque serves as the primary culprit behind tooth decay, consisting of a sticky amalgamation of saliva, bacteria, and food particles. To provide an unobstructed view for examination purposes, a retractor is cleverly employed to keep the lips away from the teeth. This particular angle allows us to observe these teeth from behind; however, if you wish to see them from the front perspective, please refer to image C010/5998. The photograph highlights various elements crucial in dentistry such as finger placement for diagnosis and detection purposes along with unhealthy gums surrounding the affected area. It emphasizes both oral disorder and dental hygiene issues faced by patients. Captured by Science Photo Library's talented photographers specializing in medical imagery without any commercial intentions involved or mentioned within this caption; this detailed clinical view provides valuable insights into diagnosing dental conditions caused by bacterial biofilm build-up like plaque and tartar accumulation. Ultimately serving as a reminder for individuals to prioritize their oral health care routines through regular brushing and professional cleanings provided by dentists worldwide.
