Public Health DentistryIn epidemiology, incidence refers to the number of new cases of a disease or
condition that occur within a specific time frame in a defined population.
Dental caries, also known as tooth decay, is a common chronic condition where
bacteria in the mouth produce acids that destroy the tooth enamel and underlying
dentin, leading to cavities. The incidence of dental caries would be the number
of new cases of tooth decay diagnosed within a given period, say a year or
another time interval.
Point prevalence, on the other hand, is the proportion of a population that has
a specific condition at a particular point in time. It is a measure of the
prevalence of dental caries at a single moment, which does not account for new
cases or recoveries.
Period prevalence is the proportion of the population that has had a particular
condition during a specific period of time, such as a year or a month. This
measure includes both new cases and cases that have persisted from before the
start of the period in question.

PhysiologyGastric emptying is regulated by a combination of vagal reflexes, intestinal hormones such as secretin and cholecystokinin, and local neural reflexes known as the enterogastric reflex. These mechanisms work in concert to modulate the rate of emptying based on the needs of the body.
