deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances in a person’s intake of energy and/or nutrients. MALNUTRITION
humans need in the largest amounts protein, carbohydrates, and fats. energy comes from their chemical bonds and is converted into cellular energy MACRONUTRIENTS
macromolecules composed of chains of subunits called amino acids. protein
- are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. provide a ready source of energy for the body and provide structural constituents for the formation of cells. Carbohydrates
- are also a family of molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, but they are insoluble in water. Lipids
- are the nutrients humans need in the small amounts. include all the essential minerals and vitamins. Not sources of energy, but they assist in the process as cofactors or components of enzymes Micronutrients
maintain fluid balance, build bone tissue, synthesize hormones, transmit nerve impulses, contract and relax muscles, and protect against harmful free rad minerals
are required to perform many functions in the body, such as making red blood cells, synthesizing bone tissue, and playing a normal vision, nervous system function, and immune system function Vitamins
- is one of the most important minerals in the human body as it helps form and maintain strong bones and teeth. This mineral helps harden the tooth enamel and strengthen the jawbone. Calcium
- helps the body absorb and use calcium and strengthens teeth by protecting and rebuilding tooth enamel. It works with calcium to create hydroxyapatite Phosphorus
- contributes to immune functions, vision, and saliva production. Vitamin A
- is vital to keeping gums healthy. It strengthens blood vessels and the connective tissue that maintains the stronghold between the teeth and jawbone. also reduced erosive tooth wear in early childhood. Vitamin C

- acts as a shield — it helps block substances that break down the bone. It also helps the body produce osteocalcin, a protein that supports bone strength. deficiency can also slow down the body’s healing process and make it more likely to bleed. Vitamin K
- is a quantitative defect of the enamel presenting as pits, grooves, missing enamel or smaller teeth. A lower intake of ___ has been associated with decreased oral epithelial development, impaired tooth formation, enamel hypoplasia, and periodontitis. Enamel hypoplasia vitamin A
- is a qualitative defect, with reduced mineralization resulting in discolored enamel in a tooth of normal shape and size. This occurs as an effect of ______ deficiency which leads to a disturbance during tooth development. Enamel hypomineralization vitamin D
- is the destruction of the tooth enamel caused by a combination of factors, including plaque, oral hygiene, unhealthy diet, and vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to cavities. Tooth decay
- is a serious form of gum disease wherein a bacterial infection starts by inflaming the soft tissues around the teeth which then erodes the supporting bone leading to mobility and tooth loss. Periodontitis
recommended for the prevention of disorders of the jawbone and periodontal attachment apparatus. vitamin A and D
