About this document
Understanding Oral Compensation by daw022 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes aging processes in oral tissues. Key points include: - Oral tissues experience less tissue, more fibrosis/fat, stiffer/less digestible collagen, and DNA mutations with age. - Tooth structures like enamel become more brittle, translucent, and resistant to caries. Dentine develops more secondary/reparative dentine. The pulp chamber becomes smaller. - Cementum may experience excess deposition or erosion. The periodontal ligament width decreases and bundles become less distinct. -
