27th Global Summit Expo on Dental Science and Dental Practice

Cephalometric analysis is the analysis of the dental & skeletal relationships of a human skull. It is to study relationships between bony and soft tissue landmark & used to diagnose facial growth abnormalities prior to treatment,in middle to evaluate progress or at the conclusion

Geographic tongue is an inflammatory but harmless condition affecting the surface of your #tongue . With geographic tongue, papillae on the surface of the tongue are missing and appear as smooth red "islands,"often with slightly raised borders. Join us @ https:// dental.cmesociety.com /  

#Apexogenesis is the preservation of vital #pulp #tissue so that continued root development with apical closure may occur. It overcomes the shortcomings involved with capping the inflamed #dental pulp of an incompletely developed #tooth . Most/all of the coronal pulp is removed

#Dental ankylosis is a rare disorder characterized by the fusion of the #tooth to the bone, preventing both eruption and #orthodontic movement. #Ankylosis usually initially occurs on the labial and lingual root surfaces making radiographic detection in the early stages difficult.

#Alveoloplasty is a dental pre-prosthetic procedure performed to smoothen or reshape the jawbone.The bony edges of the alveolar ridge & its surrounding structures is made smooth, redesigned so that a well-fitting, comfortable & esthetic #dental #prosthesis may be fabricated.

Acid etching is a #dental procedure that can help with the placement of a #tooth restoration. Variations on the etching procedure are used to successfully bond existing tooth structure with a #prosthetic ,whether it be a #crown , a filling or a #veneer . https:// dental.cmesociety.com /  

#Hyposalivation is a pathological condition in which there is insufficient or decreased production of #saliva . Hyposalivation occurs when the salivary glands is not able to produce enough saliva that the body requires normally, Dehydration, Autoimmune Causes,Infection,Medications

#Torusmandibularis is a bony growth in the mandible along the surface nearest to the #tongue . Mandibular tori are usually present near the premolars & above the location of the mylohyoid muscle's attachment.They are common in early adult life and are associated with #bruxism .

Scaling and root planing is a procedure involving removal of #dental plaque & #calculus & then smoothing of the exposed surfaces of the roots, removing #cementum or #dentine that is impregnated with calculus, toxins, or microorganisms the etiologic agents that cause inflammation.

#Pulpotomy is the removal of a portion of the # pulp , including the diseased aspect, with the intent of maintaining the vitality of the remaining pulpal #tissue by means of a therapeutic dressing. Damage to the pulp of permanent #teeth requires a #rootcanal or #endodontic therapy

Pontics is an artificial #tooth on a fixed #dental prosthesis that replaces the missing natural tooth,restores its function & usually fills the space previously occupied. Pontics of smooth surfaced,convex in all direction,cleansable,no irritation to #gingival tissues is preferred.

A #panoramicradiograph is a #dental X-ray of the upper & lower jaw. It shows a 2-dimensional view of a half-circle from ear to ear. Images of multiple planes are taken where the maxilla & mandible are in the focal trough & the structures that are superficial & deep are blurred.

An anterior open bite have front upper and lower #teeth that slant outward so they don’t touch when the #mouth is shut. An open bite is a type of #malocclusion , which means the teeth aren’t aligned properly when the jaws are closed. Join us : https:// dental.cmesociety.com /  

An #impactedtooth is one that fails to erupt into the #dental arch within the expected time. It may become impacted because of adjacent #teeth ,dense overlying bone,excessive soft tissue or a genetic abnormality. Common cause of impaction is inadequate arch length & space to erupt

The #bitewing is the most common type of #dental x-ray which shows the upper & lower back #teeth in a single view.This is taken to see how the upper and lower teeth line up, to check for #decay & discover bone loss due to infection & serious #gum disease. https:// dental.cmesociety.com /  

A rubber dam is a thin sheet, usually latex or nitrile, used in #dentistry to isolate the operative site from the rest of the #mouth . Its purpose is to prevent saliva interfering with the #dental work & prevent instruments,materials from being inhaled,swallowed or damaging mouth.

#Xerostomia is defined as dry #mouth resulting from reduced or absent #saliva flow. Xerostomia is not a disease, but it may be a symptom of various medical conditions, a side effect of a radiation to the head and neck, or a side effect of a wide variety of medications.

A dental chart is a graphical tool for organizing all the important information about #teeth & gums. Dental charting is a process in which #dentists lists & describes the health. Periodontal charting, a part of dental chart, refers to the 6 measurements taken around each #tooth .

A #pulpotomy is the removal of a portion of the #pulp , including the diseased aspect, with the intent of maintaining the vitality of the remaining pulpal tissue. Damage to the pulp of permanent #teeth requires a root canal treatment or #endodontic therapy https:// dental.cmesociety.com /  

#Dental porcelain can be sculpted to closely replicate the look of natural #tooth #enamel while providing desirable strength and resilience. Porcelain dental crowns are an excellent choice when recreating the form and function of a damaged #tooth Join us @ https:// dental.cmesociety.com /  

#Inlays and #onlays are considered “indirect” fillings, meaning that they are fabricated outside the #mouth (generally at a #dental laboratory), and then bonded to the #tooth by the #dentists . This is in contrast to a “direct” filling, which is applied directly to the cavity.

A mucogingival junction is an anatomical feature on the #intraoral #mucosa . The mucosa of the cheeks and floor of the #mouth are freely moveable and fragile.The mucosa around #teeth and on the palate are firm and keratinized. Where these two tissue meet is #mucogingivaljunction .
