 Hello everybody, my name is Andrea with dental ill tutoring in this video. Let's talk about the oral cavity So I upload videos every Monday. So definitely keep checking back study videos such as this one where I teach you guys a topic So if there's a topic that you want to learn sooner rather than later Comment below and I will add that to my list of videos to do in this one It's going to be the oral cavity. So this will be the basics of the oral cavity I'm going to really go through the different things inside the mouth basically But it can be very confusing, especially if you are a student if you're in semester one Even once you start seeing patients, it can be very overwhelming because inside the mouth There's a lot going on. So this is going to be the basics if you guys want more definitely check out my board exam prep Academy course where I go through every topic that you have to know for the board exam and our teaching videos are Typically 45 minutes long. This one, of course, isn't going to be 45 minutes because this is going to be a good But quick and very helpful review on the oral cavity. So let me share my screen. I Have a screen for you guys where oh, sorry Let me I'm clicking the wrong buttons here. There we go. So can you guys see my screen? Okay So the oral cavity basics think about it this way The oral cavity is anything inside the mouth and kind of around the area too So I wanted to bring up this image because for students This can be very overwhelming for you, right? But you need to keep in mind when you're thinking about the teeth I like to tell people when you're taking a panoramic x-ray you see the overall mouth, right? Think about that as the oral cavity. So it's not just the teeth or just the tongue or just inside the mouth It's going to include the sinuses and other areas too the throat area very important The oral cavity proper is just basically a little bit of everything The tongue and the teeth the lips the hard palate the soft palate all of that fun stuff moving on to the next one here So this is a different way to look at the oral cavity But these things I'm going to pinpoint you definitely have to know the difference Especially when you start seeing patients and for the board exam you need to know what all of these things are I like this image because it doesn't label everything for example. Do you guys know what this is? This is your uvula Uvula that's always a funny word to say a lot of patients point to that and go I have this round ball thing in my mouth What is that? It's totally normal, but this is what we have to do We have to educate our patients, but then you have the soft palate, which is close to the Uvula the hard palate is above that Closer to the teeth a lot of students get the hard and soft palate confused So the soft palate the hard palate, but then you also have to remember you have skin tissue You have your lingual tongue tie Which is here and the lip tie which could happen too Sometimes this can go down and actually separate the front teeth if that's the case as a baby You want to get that cut so it doesn't cause other problems But that's another lecture for another day But it's good to kind of look at all of this and then think to yourself Do I know what these things are? Do I know what this is? Where's the soft palate again? But I'm going to go through more of those in the next slide here. Sorry. Maybe it's the next slide This one again is looking at that the the teeth the oral cavity in a different way. This is all oh Excuse me guys, that was random had to sneeze. Oh boy, I normally sneeze in twos Well, that's how you know this video isn't edited because I just sneezed for you guys I'm sorry. Okay. Anyway, I think I'm good now. I think I'm good now This you have to know the attached gingiva and then the marginal gingiva is along the gum line the attached is above that but then you have the the Alveolar mucosa that is closer to the lip area But then remember we talked about that lip tie the maxillary Labial frenum But there's one down here as well. You could even technically have one here as they are showing The interdental gingiva is in between the teeth. So notice how all of this is so much to think about I do suggest learning a little bit at a time Now anatomy of the tooth your teeth are considered inside the oral cavity So you have to know the different parts enamel dentin pulp the crown of the tooth Of course the gums around the tooth the root of the tooth and then the cementum is covering only the root of the tooth Not the crown only the root and then of course surrounding everything is going to be the bone Tooth surfaces again your teeth is included in the oral cavity I do have another video specific to tooth surfaces and kind of how you need to learn those Especially if you're a new student you will learn this for like 15 minutes the first day And then you're expected to know it So if you haven't seen that video you guys do a search for tooth surfaces on my youtube channel I talk about it more Of course if you like take a picture of this slide with your cell phone If you want to learn more about it, but I just kind of have a good quick slide for you Definitely check out the board exam prep academy if you want to learn more about this too But the tooth surfaces you have to know mesial distal lingual buckle incisal You've got to know all of that here's another way of looking at the tooth specifically the The occlusal surface and all of the different cusps every cusp has a name every surface has a name This is why dental professionals get paid what they do because look at all the stuff we have to know There's a lot. I love these images here another way to look at everything I love this one a lot of students don't think they have to know the throat area But you do there are different arches you have the hard palate remember which is closer to the teeth The soft palate the uvula you need to know the different arches the palatola pharyngeal arch is more posterior And then you have the palatine tonsil, which is more anterior the palatola glossill arch Is more anterior to that so you need to know all of those fun things some different images for you I go through these in greater detail inside the board exam prep academy But this is kind of a good study lesson for you the tongue you need to know the tongue and the different papilla the Follate papilla is on the side of the tongue very important more prominent in children The sides is more prominent for oral cancer as well So always check do that oral cancer screening the circumvalent papilla is towards the back The fungi for papilla is closer to the front and then we talk again about the tonsils the arches All of that fun stuff. So Are you guys overwhelmed yet? I hope not that was kind of a good Time video on the oral cavity, but the oral cavity is a big Unit so i'm going to do videos in the near future where i'm going to specifically talk about the tongue I'm going to specifically talk about the throat area. I'm going to specifically talk about the papilla So stay tuned But if you can't wait, I do have more videos inside the board exam prep academy Click like to this video if you liked it that does help me in my channel You guys and stay tuned next monday where i'm going to upload another study time video So enjoy you guys. I hope this helped. Thank you for watching and i'll see you guys very soon
