#Gum recession is the process in which the margin of the gum tissue that surrounds the #teeth wears away, or pulls back, exposing more of the #tooth , or the tooth's root. When this occurs, pockets form, making it easy for disease-causing bacteria to build up

Gingivectomy is a #dental procedure in which a #dentists cuts away part of the #gums in the #mouth . It is the oldest surgical approach in periodontal therapy and is usually done for improvement of aesthetics or prognosis of #teeth . It is referred as a crown lengthening procedure.

A #frenectomy is the removal of a frenulum, a small fold of tissue that prevents an organ in the body from moving too far. It is done mostly for #orthodontic purposes, a frenectomy is either performed inside the middle of upper #lip or under the #tongue called lingual frenectomy

Gingival flap surgery is a procedure in which the #gums are separated from the #teeth and folded back temporarily to allow a #dentist to reach the root of the #tooth and the bone. Gingival flap surgery is used to treat gum disease #periodontitis .

A #dental explorer or sickle probe is an instrument in #dentistry commonly used in the #dental armamentarium. A sharp point at the end of the explorer is used to enhance tactile sensation. It was usual for #dentists to use the explorer to probe #teeth for the presence of cavities

Crossbite is a form of malocclusion where a #tooth has a more buccal or lingual position than its corresponding antagonist tooth in the upper or lower dental arch. In other words, it is a lateral misalignment of the #dental arches #Dentistry #dentalhealth #dentalcare #oralhygiene

A #diastema is a space or gap between two teeth. Most commonly between the #incisors and #molars . Diastemata are common for children and can exist in adult teeth as well. Diastemata are primarily caused by imbalance in the relationship between the #jaw and the size of #teeth .

Acute necrotizing ulcerative #gingivitis is a common,non-contagious infection of the #gums with sudden onset. The main features are painful, bleeding gums & ulceration of inter #dental papillae. The causative organisms are particularly Fusobacteria & spirochete #dentalhealth

A #parotidectomy is the surgical excision of the #parotid gland, the major and largest of the #salivaryglands . The procedure is most typically performed due to #neoplasms , which are growths of rapidly and abnormally dividing cells. Neoplasms can be #benign or #malignant . #dental

#Airabrasion is a way to remove #decay from a #tooth without using a #dental drill. The air abrasion hand piece blows a powerful air stream of tiny aluminum oxide particles out of its tip onto the #tooth . The tiny particles bounce off the tooth and blast the decay away. #Dental

#Periodontitis is a serious #gum infection that damages the soft tissue and destroys the #bone that supports the #teeth . Periodontitis can cause teeth to loosen or lead to tooth loss. It's usually the result of poor oral hygiene #Dental #Dentistry #DenalScience #oralhygiene

#Cementum is a specialized calcified substance covering the root of a #tooth . This is the part of the periodontium that attaches the #teeth to the alveolar #bone by anchoring the #periodontal ligament. Two kinds of cementum are formed: acellular and cellular #dental #dentistry

# Tooth decay in infants and very young children is often referred to as baby bottle #toothdecay . This happens when sweetened liquids or those with natural sugars like #milk , formula,& fruit juice cling to an infant's #teeth for a long time.

The socket is the hole in the bone where the #tooth has been removed.After removal,a blood clot forms in the socket to protect the #bone & #nerves. Sometimes clot can become dislodged a couple of days after the extraction.That leave the bone & nerve exposed which lead to infection

Zoom is a #bleaching process widely used to lighten discoloration of #enamel and #dentin . #Tooth discoloration may result from drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine; or from smoking or aging process. Join us to know more on #DentalScience @ https:// dental.cmesociety.com /  

#Bruxism is excessive #teeth grinding or #jaw clenching. It is an #oral parafunctional activity i.e., it is unrelated to normal function such as #eating or talking. There are 2 main types : one occurs during #sleep (nocturnal bruxism) and one during wakefulness (awake bruxism)

The paired submandibular #glands are major #salivaryglands located beneath the floor of the #mouth . They each weigh about 15 grams and contribute to 60–67% of unstimulated #saliva secretion,on stimulation their contribution decreases in proportion as the #parotid secretion rises

A #veneer is a layer of material placed over a #tooth ,veneers improve the aesthetics of a #smile and/or protect the tooth's surface from damage.There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer: #composite and #dental #porcelain #Dentistry #oralhealth #dentalhealth

A #denture reline is exactly what it sounds like, putting a new lining in dentures so they fit properly in #mouth . Relining the replacement is simple and affordable Know the latest trends in #DentalScience @ https:// dental.cmesociety.com /   #Dentistry #oralhealth #dentalcare #Dentist
