Study Notes
Dr. Abdelrahman M. Galal's Lecture Focus
- Focuses on periodontal health and dental maintenance.
- Explores the anatomical and functional aspects of teeth.
Intended Learning Outcomes
- Understanding the principles of periodontium protection.
- Comprehending the relationship between tooth structure and function.
- Gaining insights into the signaling mechanisms within cells.
Protection of Periodontium
- The protective factor of periodontium is controlled by the interaction between alveolar bone, gingiva, and periodontal ligaments.
Tooth Type Specific Form
- Each tooth type’s specific form relates to its function in mastication (chewing), affecting the way they cut, grind, or tear food.
Angulations of Teeth
- The angulations of teeth in the jaw are associated with occlusion, which impacts bite and overall dental alignment.
Intracellular Receptors Regulation
- Intracellular receptors regulate gene expression and cellular responses to hormones and other signaling molecules.
Interaction of Signaling Molecules
- Some signaling molecules can pass through the cell membrane and bind directly to intracellular receptors, altering cellular function.
Activation of Intracellular Receptors
- A chemical messenger must be lipophilic (fat-soluble) to activate an intracellular receptor.
Location of Intracellular Receptors
- Most intracellular receptors are found in the cytoplasm or nucleus of target cells.
Main Function of Second Messengers
- Second messengers amplify the signal from extracellular signaling molecules, facilitating communication within the cell during signal transduction.
