Dental caries is a very common disease in all people, regardless of age, sex, race, etc.

The decay is characterized by the destruction of tooth enamel, which is progressive and penetrates into the tooth structure, which if it continues its evolution inevitably end up with the whole tooth.

Signs and symptoms are the formation of small holes, or small black spots which are progressing gradually.

The decay can progress quickly or take years to form a cavity result

Cavities are caused by direct action of bacteria on the teeth, this will not be an effective cleaning and food consumption that may lead more quickly this condition (such as sugars)

For treatment there are several very viable forms such as cleaning the room and placement of enamel or special resins (including fillings). recommended is done in the early stages of decay and so there will be no serious damage to the tooth, plus the cost of treatment will be much lower.

Imagine not having to worry about tooth decay both constantly displayed by these bacteria are difficult to remove from the mouth, especially your children that it is often difficult to control a specific routine for dental hygiene when, on that thought also British scientists, who have 25 years perfecting a way to lower the incidence of bad, and have concluded to get their hands on a vaccine against tooth decay

The plants developed from a genetically manipulated snuff, works because the antibodies attach to the tooth repelling the bacteria that causes this disease, this vaccine is in solution and applied directly to each tooth in 4 sessions or so, although the vaccine functional is yet to be a complete routine dental care including anti plaque mouthwash, toothpaste that protects against cavities, dental floss to remove what could not brush and clean your tongue to remove dead cells that are retained for each food.

A dental implant is an artificial replacement of the root of a tooth. Takes the form of a small metal screw pole or cylinder-shaped and are usually made of titanium. Titanium is the material used, and works well with the living bone and tissue, without risk of rejection or inflammation.

Other materials that can be used are titanium alloy, stainless steel and zirconium.

The implant is inserted into the jawbone and allows time to fuse with the bone in a process called “osseointegration.”When this happened, a replacement tooth called restoration could be with small accessories.

Implants can be placed in the upper and lower jaws and teeth can be up to several at once.

A dental implant is considered a problem for the prosthetic replacement of missing teeth; it also falls into the category of cosmetic dentistry.

The technique using composite veneers are basically used in the cases that need to repair defects on the surface of the tooth.

For this you use a light-curing composite resin, with which only one session is necessary to modify the size, position and color of the tooth it is much cheaper than other treatments it does not need to resort to the laboratory. Furthermore, this system is effective, fast and secure.

Anyway it should be noted that this composite can take some time to see altered its original color and is very easy to be damaged or wear out, so it’s recommended maintenance and polishing at least once a year retain its good looks. It is also suitable tests which include X-rays to check the status of the tooth.

This type of composite veneers are used when there is a fracture or if a tooth fails to clear with the usual procedures of bleaching. Also draws on its application when the patient has certain disorders in the form of one of the teeth or in need of restoration, such as the transformation of a central one lateral tooth. The use of facet ensures that parts are more aligned and thus more harmonious and whether the latter have abrasions and erosions of great importance to the repair significantly.

Fixed prostheses are those that can not be removed by the patient, being attached and supported by pillars and their own teeth or dental implants.

In the market there are different types of fixed prostheses among which we highlight veneers, crowns and bridges.

The placement of a fixed prosthesis has advantages such as functionality and convenience of a natural tooth. In either case, your application will depend on the prescription, and to rehabilitate the structure.

TYPES

1.The crowns

Individual pieces are cemented on the tooth well before carving, or an implant.

This type of prosthesis perfectly reproduces the tooth structure, so that in this way, in addition to rehabilitating the piece get full functionality and appearance similar to that of adjacent parts.

There are several types of crowns on the basis of the material used for manufacturing: Read the rest of this entry »
