Dental refers to the branch of medicine that deals with 360 degrees of the masticatory system, not only from a functional point of view on health, but also from the perspectives of aesthetics and beauty of the face and smile.

In addition, therefore, with phenomena such as malocclusion (ie a bad relationship between the mating teeth) and with elements such as muscles, the masticatory system, and the temporomandibular joints, the odontoaitria also deals with the anatomical shape of the teeth, the their color, the gum line and the dental arches, ie everything that contributes to a good smile.

Within the disciplines of dentistry is, therefore, show that deals with preservation of the teeth, endodontics (treatment of the inside of the tooth, such as root canals, the reclamation of the channel and the end), the prosthetic (aesthetic and restore function of the masticatory system through the use of implants), surgery, implantology with the introduction of dental implants for replacement of teeth, the structure and dynamics of gnathology chewing, and finally orthodontics (positioning and ‘alignment of the teeth for aesthetic and functional).

Recent years have seen an exponential growth in the field of theory and practice of dentistry, so as to require a multidisciplinary approach and teamwork among the different professionals involved in order to provide patients with a high level of dental benefits. This phenomenon has been the development of the dental field as a natural consequence, the rise of medical specialties and specific courses of study.

In recent times it has shown a progression of interest, in adult dentistry, aesthetic care already under treatment. The developments in the field of aesthetic dentistry allows us to satisfy more sophisticated demands, even intervening on intrinsic color of teeth via specialized professionals (such as the use of lamps and peroxide-based bleaching substance) that can discolour the enamel and dentin, thus making the teeth whiter and brighter.

The modern dentistry, also relies on the diffusion of information and tricks to Peven oral disease (caries and periodontal disease), with the aim to raise awareness and bring people to implement specific standards behavior that represent the core of dental prevention, first and foremost a correct, consistent and proper oral hygiene and regular checks.

Preventive dentistry is thus designed to prevent the development of various forms of dental disease, in order to catch them early, as a last alternative, to limit damage, through the dissemination of the principles and practice of primary prevention of dental caries, periodontal diseases of and malocclusion.

Preserve teeth and gums in good condition is in fact a necessary action for the maintenance of overall health (think of the relationship between the phenomena of malocclusion and abnormal body posture, or the relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease).

The ‘dental care is also responsible for the tissues that support the teeth (ie both the periodontal apparatus, or periodontium, which consists of alveolar bone, ligament alveolo dental cementum and gingiva). With that particular device handles a special branch of dentistry, periodontics, who studies diseases that affect just the periodontium (defined in popular jargon the term “periodontal disease”).

The ‘dentistry is oriented to the study of diseases once overlooked, such as bad breath, in the vast majority of cases, comes from the mouth; now, in fact, it’s easy to find the names of dentists experienced in the diagnosis and treatment halitosis, with available diagnostic equipment to detect gases present in exhaled breath stinking, and to determine the amount.

Aesthetic or cosmetic dentistry is a specialty of dentistry that addresses problems related to oral health and aesthetic harmony of the whole mouth. You could define cosmetic dentistry as an application of art and science designed to develop or enhance the beauty in a smile.

The historical evolution of cosmetic dentistry has followed a path similar to plastic surgery, which at its inception was considered a specialty of medicine and frivolous snobbery. Currently there are studies that is seen as physical defects can constitute a mental disease and clinically proven in the individual, which today has led to aesthetic dentistry, has the support of most practitioners of dentistry, to which we add that, thanks to new materials and techniques suitable functional results are achieved.

In Western culture, we can consider in general terms, patterns of dental aesthetics represented by a smile that shows clear teeth into a harmonious composition with soft tissue. This does not mean that individuals understand their dental aesthetics differently.
