Artwork of tooth showing periodontal disease
Periodontal disease. Artwork of a section through a human tooth with periodontal disease of its surrounding gum and bone. The tooths white enamel covers the dentine (yellow) and pulp (purple). Yellow deposits of plaque and tartar (calculus) have built up between the tooth and the gum (pink/ red). Plaque consists of food remains, mucus and bacteria. Mineral salts from the saliva may then be deposited in the plaque to form tartar. Irritation by the toxins from these deposits have caused inflammation (periodontitis) & destruction of the gums & bone (pale brown). Gum inflammation alone is called gingivitis. If the tartar is not removed, the tooth will become loose and fall out.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the devastating effects of periodontal disease on a human tooth and its surrounding gum and bone. The intricate details showcase the layers of this dental disorder, starting with the white enamel that conceals the underlying dentine and pulp. However, what stands out in this image are the yellow deposits of plaque and tartar, which have accumulated between the tooth and gum. Composed of food remnants, mucus, and bacteria, plaque serves as a breeding ground for oral health problems. Over time, mineral salts from saliva contribute to tartar formation. The consequences become evident through shades of pink/red representing inflammation caused by toxins released from these deposits. This inflammation leads to periodontitis - a condition characterized by destruction not only of gums but also underlying bone structures (depicted in pale brown). It is crucial to note that gum inflammation alone is known as gingivitis. Without proper intervention such as tartar removal, this piece warns us about potential outcomes: loose teeth eventually leading to their loss altogether. As we contemplate this artwork's significance within dentistry and healthcare realms, it serves as a reminder that maintaining good oral hygiene practices plays an integral role in preserving our overall well-being.
