Dental
implants are today's best replacement alternative to missing teeth in terms of
form, function and aesthetics. Implants are now used as routine treatment for
an entire range of problems from replacing a single tooth to full oral rehabilitation
and even for reliable denture retention Dental implant is an artificial tooth
root (made of titanium) that is placed into your jawbone to replace a missing
tooth, multiple teeth or an edentulous (without teeth) arch. Dental implants
are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do
not rely on neighbouring teeth for support. The success rate of this type of
treatment today is very high and predictable. An implant can support a variety
of restorations such as a single crown, multi-unit bridge and full arch
dentures.


What are the benefits
of dental implant treatment?

First of all A big, healthy, happy smile. And you will have a lot to smile
about, too. Dental implants allow you to speak, eat, sing, in other words, do everything
you want – with total self assurance.


Do implant procedures
cause much pain?

In most cases these procedures produce very little, if any, discomfort. In
fact, many patients do not have to use any pain Killer. Your decision to use
implants will help you to avoid much pain and discomfort in the long term.
Besides, given the overall health care benefits, you should not deny yourself
proper treatment out of fear of pain. As with any medical or dental procedure,
your attending doctor, the dentist, is equipped to provide you with appropriate
treatment, including any pain medicines you need.

Periodontal Flap Surgery



When advanced gum disease
(periodontitis) develops, your teeth are in danger: At this stage, the
ligaments and bone tissue that surround them are being destroyed, and you could
even begin losing teeth! If the disease can't be controlled by non-surgical
treatments like cleaning and scaling, then periodontal flap surgery may be your
best treatment option.

Flap surgery is today's leading
method for treating and repairing periodontal pockets. What are these
“pockets?” They are areas below the gum line where gum tissue has detached from
the teeth, resulting in an uncleansable space where harmful bacteria can
proliferate. These bacteria cause inflammation of the tissues, resulting in
sensitivity, bleeding, and pain. Left untreated, they can cause a host of
problems including gum disease, loss of the tooth-supporting bone structure,
and possibly even systemic (whole-body) problems.

When periodontal pockets develop, the
first step in treating them is usually via cleaning and scaling (also referred
to as root debridement) with a manual or ultrasonic instrument. If this isn't
effective, then periodontal surgery is considered. Flap surgery isn't a cure
for periodontal disease — but it helps create an environment that makes it
easier to maintain your periodontal health. And even if you're prone to gum
disease, proper professional treatment and regular care at home can help keep
your teeth healthy for as long as possible.

The Goals of Flap Surgery

One major objective of flap surgery
is to eliminate or reduce the pocket itself. To access it, a flap-like incision
is made in the gum tissue. This allows diseased tissue to be removed from
inside the pocket, and provides access to the teeth's root surfaces for a
thorough cleaning, which helps to eliminate harmful plaque and calculus
(tartar). Afterward, the “flap” is closed, sealing the area. This begins the
healing process, which takes place rapidly.

Another goal is the regeneration of
periodontal ligament and bone tissue which may have been lost to the disease. A
variety of techniques may be used to accomplish this, including high-tech
methods of bone grafting and chemicals referred to as growth factors. These
approaches help restore the gums to their normal form and function, and promote
the healthy and secure anchoring of teeth.

The Flap Surgery Procedure

Performed by an
experienced hand, state-of-the-art flap surgery has an excellent track record
and offers well-established benefits. It's often the treatment of choice for
relieving periodontal disease and helping to maintain your oral health — and
preserve your teeth.

Flap surgery is typically
done under local anesthesia, sometimes accompanied by oral anti-anxiety
medications; alternatively, it may be performed under intravenous conscious
sedation. After anesthesia has taken effect, a small incision is made to
separate the gums from the teeth. The outer gum tissue is gently folded back to
give access to the roots and the supporting ligament and bone tissue.

Next, the inflamed gum tissue
can be removed, and the tooth roots can be cleaned; if needed, the area may
also be treated with antibiotics or other medications. Bone defects can be
repaired with grafting material, and proper regeneration of the periodontal
ligament can be encouraged by physical (barrier membranes) and chemical (growth
factors) methods. Finally, the incision is closed and the procedure is
completed.

Performed by an experienced hand, state-of-the-art flap surgery has an
excellent track record and offers well-established benefits. It's often the treatment
of choice for relieving periodontal disease and helping to maintain your oral
health — and preserve your teeth.

Root
canal is the treatment in which the infected pulp is removed from the tooth and
the space occupied by it is cleaned and filled with a special filling material
called guttapercha. Even though the pulp has been removed from the inside of
the tooth, the tooth is still embedded in a living jaw structure. The root
canal tooth will not feel hot or cold. However the tooth would still retain
normal sensation to touch or pressure.

Procedure

STEP 1

After the tooth is anesthetized, an opening is made through the crown into the
pulp chamber.

STEP 2

The length of the root canals is determined.

STEP 3

Unhealthy pulp is removed. Canals are cleaned, enlarged and shaped.

STEP 4

Canals are filled and sealed. A metal or fibre post may be added for structural
support or to retain restorative materials.

STEP 5

The tooth is sealed with a permanent filling followed by a crown adding further
protection and strength to the tooth Depending on the amount of tooth structure
remaining and dentist's decision, the tooth may or may not need a post,
referred as a screw by some.

Diagnosis :

The greatest diagnostic advice in this case is a digital RVG X-ray. X-ray
demonstrates the presence or absence of pus accumulation in the form of a
Periapical Radioluency.

Single-Sitting Root Canal Procedure.

  • First a local anesthesia is administered to the tooth and the tooth become
    numb so that the procedure is    more pleasant &
    comfortable.
  • Next step doctor uses a drill to gain access to the area inside the tooth
    where the nerve is. A    hole is made inside the tooth, to open
    the pulp chamber to allow access to the canals.
  • Next, he cleans the pulp chamber and all root canals using with help of
    special endohandpiece    instruments with use rotary files the
    infected nerves are removed.
  • The root canals are flushed with antibacterial solution. Root canals are
    further cleaned scrapes and    scrubs, cleaning it of debris and
    bacteria & reshaped to free them of all debris with the endorotary file
       instrument.
  • Once the root canals are dry & clean, he is filled and sealed with a
    biocompatible material like as Gutta    Purcha Points.
  • The tooth cavity is then filled with a permanent tooth color light cure
    composite filling material.
  • A root canal treated tooth should be ideally crowned after some days.


Advantage of Single visit
root canal treatment

  • Takes only half an hour to finish procedure thus saves time.
  • A single visit procedure.
  • The patient does not feel discomfort by local anesthesia again and again
    every visit.
  • Favorable in patient who do not show up after first sitting in traditional
    old root canal treatment.
  • This reduces the re infection chances by number of visits.


Indicationof Single visit
root canal treatment

  • Tooth nerve tissue has started to degenerate in case of attrition, abrasion.
  • Teeth causing pain.
  • Tooth nerve exposure in case of fracture or trauma to the tooth.
  • Patients with acute tooth abscess.


POST AND CORE

A post and core is a dental restoration used to sufficiently build-up tooth
structure for future restoration with a crown when there is not enough tooth
structure to properly retain the crown, due to loss of tooth structure to
either decay or fracture.

The post, commonly known as 'screw' is cemented in the root canal after a Root
Canal Treatment (RCT) is done, in order to strengthen the tooth.

The core, such as dental composite, can be packed around the cemented post and
the restored tooth is now ready for crown preparation.

Crowns

A crown is a dental restoration that covers or 'caps' a tooth to restore it to
its normal shape, size and function. Its purpose is to strengthen or improve
the appearance of a tooth.

  1. If your tooth has undergone significant decay or a large portion has
    fractured such that there is not    enough tooth structure
    remaining to provide support
  2. Following root canal treatment, a crown is often needed to strengthen the
    tooth
  3. If you have discolored or badly shaped teeth, then for cosmetic reasons and
    to improve the esthetics of    your smile you may opt for crowns
  4. Severe grinding can cause attrition and wear down the teeth to a point where
    only crowns can strengthen    them
  5. If you have a dental implant, a crown will be fitted over the implant
  6. Full mouth rehabilitation may require several crowns

Bridges
A bridge is a dental restoration that replaces or 'bridges' the space where one
or more teeth have been lost. Bridge can be supported in many ways:
  1. Through natural teeth
  2. Through implants
  3. Through a combination of natural teeth and implants

Important of Bridges
  1. Missing teeth may create a lasting social, psychological and emotional
    turbulence. Missing teeth may    affect your self-esteem and
    confidence and may make you feel awkward, anxious and nervous or self
       conscious while going out in public
  2. Missing teeth may affect your speech and appearance. It may cause your
    facial muscles to sag and give    you that old worn outlook
  3. Missing one or more back teeth affects chewing. The biting force on the
    remaining teeth begins to change to compensate for the lost
    tooth. Consequently there is extra pressure and discomfort which may
       accelerate their decay and demise
  4. Teeth surrounding the missing tooth may start to shift and this leads to
    difficulty in cleaning and chewing. Over time there is plaque
    and tartar accumulation which causes gum disease and weaken the support of
       the remaining teeth
  5. Missing teeth may lead to collapse of the jaws. This results in gaps and
    spaces between the remaining teeth and undue prominence of
    the chin, making chewing difficult and the individual looking older

Types of Crown and bridges
  • Dental crowns are made up of different types of materials namely;
  • Metal crown.
  • Porcelain fused to metal crown (PFM).
  • All ceramic crown.
  • Metal free crown.
  • Zirconia crown.
  • CAD/CAM.
  • Laser Sintered

Cosmetic Dentistry is a branch of dentistry
that focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, the mouth and the smile
along with improving the oral hygiene, general health and functionality of an
individuals teeth. This branch includes a variety of procedures that would
enhance your smile and ultimately your looks. At Our Clinic, with young
amiable staff, cosmetic dentistry will be delivered to you in a manner that
provides smile makeover with cosmetic dental options including teeth whitening,
porcelain veneers, composite veneers, gum depigmentation, crowns and bridges.
For more information on cosmetic dentistry, make sure you visit us soon.


PORCELAIN VENEERS/LAMINATES

Ceramic/Porcelain veneers are the very thin custom made porcelain facings or
thin shell of enamel like substitute that are bonded to the front surface of
unattractive teeth to improve appearance.

Ceramic veneers/ porcelain veneers can improve various imperfections like small
chips/fracture of teeth, gaps, Rotated or malaligned teeth, unshapely or
discolored teeth to achieve a magnificent, durable and long lasting smile by
allowing alteration in tooth position, shape, size and color. The end result –
a drastic cosmetic makeover.


COMPOSITE VENEERS

Composite veneers is a technique used to improve the appearance of your teeth.
The term "composite" refers to a tooth-colored blend of materials,
either plastic or resin, which is bonded to an existing tooth surface. Such
kind of veneers are done in one appointment.

Bonding is basically a process where in enamel-like dental composite material
is applied to tooth's surface, sculpted into desired shape, hardened with a
high intensity light and then polished. Bonding is ideal for fixing minor
chipped or cracked teeth, hiding discoloration on the tooth's surface, or
reducing the gaps between teeth.

They are also being used as
a cavity filling material due to cosmetic reasons. Composite bonding creates
more esthetically pleasing teeth and a brighter smile. Unlike veneers or
crowns, composite bonding requires very little removal of the original tooth.

Advantage of ceramic veneer over composite bonding/composite veneer:

1. Durability. Ceramic veneers are more durable. Inspite of being very thin, once
bonded to tooth structure    it becomes very strong and is
difficult to remove. Porcelain veneers can last for longer span of time.

2. Aesthetics. Ceramic veneers give a much more natural tooth like appearance due
to the translucent    properties of porcelain that mimic the
light handling properties of enamel.

3. Gum tissue tolerance.

4. Stain resistant.

Veneers generally don't require the
extensive shaping prior to the procedure that crowns do, yet offer a stronger,
more aesthetic alternative to bonding.They say our smile is the perfect
accessory we own. That is why we need to take care of it and invest in keeping
our pearly whites he
althy.

This is an overview of tooth
restoration. The restorations to be described are Amalgams or silver fillings,
Bonding or white fillings, Inlays and Onlays, Replacement Crowns and Veneers.




What is a dental restoration?
  • A dental restoration is also called a filling. It is the repair of a damaged
    or decayed tooth, restoring it back    to its normal shape,
    appearance and function.
  • The name of the material that is used to repair a tooth is often the name
    given to the repair process. "Amalgam Restoration"
    is an example of the material giving its name to the process.

Why should a damaged or decayed tooth be restored?
  • A tooth is repaired to protect the part of the tooth that has become exposed
    by the decay or injury.
  • It can prevent the loss of a tooth, since decay may spread and destroy the
    tooth.
  • Restoration permits normal eating and chewing.
  • Restored teeth should reinstate, or improve upon, the appearance of teeth and
    the face.

What are the available dental restorations?
  • There are different types of dental restorations which are used in particular
    situations.

Amalgam restoration
  • An amalgam is an alloy or combination of two or more metals.
  • Amalgam fillings (silver fillings) are made up of mercury, powdered silver
    and tin. They are mixed and packed into cavities in teeth. It
    hardens slowly, and replaces the missing tooth substance.
  • Amalgam fillings are held in place by the shape of the prepared cavity.
  • The cavity has to have an undercut to prevent the filling from falling out.
    The amalgam is then slotted into    the cavity.
  • It is still commonly used, despite an ongoing debate about mercury toxicity.

Bonding
Or Composite Restoration
"The superglue of
dentistry"
  • Composite resin is a plastic tooth-coloured material that is used as a
    filling. It is also called a white or plastic filling. The
    process of fusing the filling material to the tooth is called bonding.
  • It is placed into the cavity in layers until the tooth is restored to its
    original form.
  • An ultraviolet light is used to harden it, and it can be chewed on
    immediately after it has been completed. This is an advantage
    it has over amalgam.
  • The filling bonds or sticks to the tooth.
  • This characteristic is a major advance for dentistry. There is no longer the
    need to cut a slot into a tooth to hold a filling in place,
    as is necessary for an amalgam filling. As a result, less tooth needs to be cut away for a filling.
  • We at Simplyteeth have named it "the superglue of dentistry".
  • It is hard wearing and is used for repairing front and back teeth.
  • Bonding is ideal for front teeth that need cosmetic dentistry.

DISIMPACTION OF WISDOM MOLARS



The oral
cavity often harnesses teeth which, due to certain developmental difficulties,
do not erupt in their right place. They often remain dormant inside the bone.
However, when they pose a problem due to the forces they exert or when they
become foci of infection, their removal is their only cure.

The most common impactions are seen in cases of wisdom teeth (third molars).
Sometimes, even canines or other teeth might be found impacted in one’s mouth.

If the impaction is between the third molar and part of the second molar, this
kind is called 
bone
impaction
. It can subcategorized into vertical, horizontal, and
angular depending on the way they are intersecting. If the wisdom tooth is
directly breaking out of the tissue, it is known as 
tissue impaction.

The
following four impactions are commonly found in patients :

Bone Impaction
(Vertical) :
Impaction would cause pathosis inside the cheek bone or jaw bone.

Bone Impaction
(Horizontal) :
Besides leading pathosis, horizontal placement would hurt the hard tissue of
the second molar to cause toothache and cavities.

Bone Impaction (Angular)
:
Besides leading pathosis, angular placement would hurt the hard tissue of the
second molar to cause toothache and cavities.

Tissue Impaction :
The wisdom tooth almost erupts out of gum, or its half erupts out of gum to
cause pseudo-pocket. Besides leading pathosis, it easily tracts food debris and
causes gum irritation.

Each
individual wisdom tooth is unique and depending on how it grows, it can have
different impact on bones and/or tissues. Their varied developments may effect
other teeth and cause troubles. When they need to be removed, experts from Shah
Dental Clinic are the ones who can easily help you.

Have you ever noticed dark spots around your teeth? Like most others,
you might get more conscious about your face and hence tend to smile less too.
Gums play an important role in enhancing our smiles. 



If dark gums are plaguing your smile, you should definitely read on.
This blog will not only help you find the solution to darkened gums but also
shed more light on why you might be facing this issue. 



What are black
gums?



Black gums also called darkened gums, according to scientific research,
it is assumed that it is a result of the production of excess melanin, which in
turn, results in turning the natural pink coloured gums to a darker shade.



What causes black
gums?



Just like the colors of skin, gum colors are diverse in people. Healthy
gums usually range from pink to dark brown color and even black. The only
person who can help you identify if you have diseased or natural gums is your
dentist.



If you are self-examining and find unusual patches, change of color, and
foul smell, time to visit the dentist. 



Here are a few of the causes to start with:



  • Amalgam tattoos: When you have tooth
    cavities, your dentist suggests fillings. These fillings are worked with
    an element called AmalgamPossibly, it logs into the
    area around the gum, causing black spots. The dentist can easily treat it
    as quick as in one checkup. These spots are avoidable. Ask your dentist to
    use dental dams which can separate the teeth and gums when you go for a
    filling treatment next time.
  • Consumption of tobacco: Any mediums of
    addiction like cigarettes, etc. contain tobacco that can affect your
    health adversely, including gums.
  • Medication: If you are undergoing
    medications and disease treatments, it is common to have black gums. The
    discolouration will keep decreasing or increasing, depending on the dosage
    and medicine types. You can speak to your doctor or for a regular checkup
    to a dentist. 
  • Systemic diseases: Conditions like Necrotising
    Gingivitis, Peutz–Jeghers and Addison’s affects the adrenal glands, which
    can vary the hormones in the person having it. As the progression of the
    disease, gums can start darkening.
  • Melanin: Melanin is responsible for the color of
    the skin, hair, eyes, and body. Like mentioned before, there is a
    difference between gum disease and the natural color of the same. But, if
    there are eventual patches, it can be probably the gum disease.

TYPES OF DENTURES :

Conventional Dentures Dental Center -Complete dentures
are used when all the teeth in upper and lower jaws are missing. These dentures
remain in place by firm fitting to the gum ridges. These dentures are made
after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, a
conventional denture is ready for placement in the mouth about 2 to 4 weeks
after the teeth have been removed.


Dental Implant Supported Overdentures
and Fixed Overdentures at Dental Center –

Implant dentures or Implant supported overdentures is a denture that uses
precision dental attachments to hold the denture down. The overdenture
attachment can be placed in tooth roots that have been saved, or placed into
dental implants which have been placed to receive them.

Immediate dentures are constructed before teeth are removed so that you will
not be without any teeth. Constructing immediate dentures involves taking
impressions (making copies) of your mouth before the teeth are removed. When
your remaining teeth are removed the denture can be inserted immediately. Bones
and gums shrink over time, especially during the healing period and compared
with conventional dentures, these dentures require more adjustments to fit
properly during the healing process and generally should only be considered a
temporary solution until conventional dentures can be made..

This is a new flexible denture base material, which reduces the chair time and

What is a Partial
Denture ?

Partial Denture is a removable dental
appliance that replaces multiple missing teeth. Unlike a bridge, which is fixed
in the mouth, these dentures can be removed for cleaning and left out while the
patient sleeps. These dentures attaches to your natural teeth with metal or
acrylic clasps or it can be attached to the teeth with crowns with precision
attachments. These clasps are hook-like structures that help hold it in place.

material, which reduces the chair time and eliminates the cumbersome materials
associated with rigid partials. Thus making a better and stronger appliance.

"TEETHING" Around 6 months of age,
your baby's first shiny white tooth will usually appear, typically in the front
center of the lower jaw. This eruption of primary teeth / baby teeth is called
teething.


Minor discomfort is associated with teething, and some of the symptoms you will
see include irritability, sore or inflamed gums, excessive drooling of saliva,
loss of appetite, a change in eating habits or difficulty in sleeping. These
should not cause alarm and are to be expected. However, if your baby
experiences other problems during the teething process such as rash, fever or
vomiting, something else may be wrong. Consult with your pediatrician in those
cases, and do not make the assumption it is due to teething. The best thing to
do to aid discomfort is to clean your baby's mouth with a damp gauze pad two or
three times daily, and giving your baby a teething ring to chew on.



WHAT PARENTS CAN DO TO PREVENT BABY BOTTLE TOOTH DECAY



You can prevent this from happening to your child's teeth by learning how to
protect them.

  • Clean your child's teeth daily
  • Never allow your child to fall asleep with a bottle filled with juice, milk,
    or infant formula (or when awake, sip   on it for long periods of
    time as a pacifier)
  • Start bottle weaning by at least a year
  • Give your child plain water for thirst
  • Make sure your child gets the fluoride needed to prevent decay
  • Have regular
    dental visits for your child beginning when their first tooth erupts




PIT AND FISSURE SEALANTS TO
PREVENT CAVITY




Sealants are a safe and painless way of protecting your children's teeth from
decay. A sealant is a protective plastic resin coating (similar to a tooth
colored filling), which is applied to the biting surfaces of the back teeth.
The sealant forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from getting into
the tiny grooves in the teeth and causing decay.


Indications.

Sealants are only applied to the back teeth – the molars and premolars. These
are the teeth that have pits and fissures on their biting surfaces. Your
dentist will tell you which teeth should be sealed after he/she has examined
them, and checked whether the fissures are deep enough for sealing to help.
Some teeth naturally form with deep grooves which will need to be sealed,
others with shallow ones which will not need sealing.



Prosiger.

The process is usually quick and straightforward taking only a few minutes per
tooth. The tooth is thoroughly cleaned, prepared with a special solution, and
dried. The liquid sealant is then applied and allowed to set hard – usually by
shining an ultraviolet light onto it.


Durability.

Sealants usually last for many years, but your dentist will want to check them
regularly to make sure that the seal is still intact. They can wear over time,
and sometimes the dentist needs to add or replace some sealant to be sure that
no decay can start underneath them.



Mekanism.

The sealant forms a smooth, protective barrier, by covering all the little
grooves and dips in the surface of the tooth. Dental decay easily starts in
these grooves.



Proper Age.

Sealants are often applied as soon as the permanent teeth start to come
through. This is usually between 6 and 7 years of age for the first molar
teeth. The rest are usually sealed as soon as they appear which can be any time
between 11 and 14 years of age (premolars).
