1. Describe the disorders listed.
A. Disorders
A.I. Dental caries - or tooth decay, involves a gradual demineralization (softening) of
the enamel and dentin.
A.II. Periodontal disease - Periodontal disease is a collective term for a variety of
conditions characterized by inflammation and degeneration of the gingivae, alveolar
bone, periodontal ligament, and cementum
A.III. Peptic ulcer disease - In the United States, 5–10% of the population develops
peptic ulcer disease (PUD). An ulcer is a craterlike lesion in a membrane; ulcers that
develop in areas of the GI tract exposed to acidic gastric juice are called peptic
ulcers.
A.IV. Diverticulitis - Development of diverticula is known as diverticulosis. Many
people who develop diverticulosis have no symptoms and experience no
complications. Of those people known the have diverticulosis, 10–25% eventually
develop an inflammation known as diverticulitis
A.V. Colorectal cancer - Colorectal cancer is among the deadliest of malignancies,
ranking
second to lung cancer in males and third after lung cancer and breast cancer in
females. Genetics plays a very important role; an inherited predisposition
contributes to more than half of all cases of colorectal cancer.
