Enamel Microabrasion

Image
#Enamel microabrasion is a procedure in #cosmetic #dentistry used to improve the appearance of the #teeth . Like tooth whitening it is used to remove discolorations of the #tooth surface but microabrasion is a mechanical, rather than chemical, procedure.

Bad Breath

Image
#Badbreath , also known as halitosis, is a symptom in which a noticeably unpleasant breath #odour is present. It can result in anxiety among those affected. It is also associated with depression and symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder. https:// dental.cmesociety.com /

Clinical Crown

Image
#Clinical Crown is the visible portion of the #tooth that is not covered by #tissue . This portion can include #enamel as well as cementum (the surface that covers the root) if #gums are receding.

Prognathism

Image
#Prognathism is a positional relationship of the mandible or maxilla to the #skeletal base where either of the #Jaws protrudes beyond a predetermined imaginary line in the coronal plane of the #skull Know more from our speakers @ https:// dental.cmesociety.com /  

Demineralization

Image
#Tooth demineralization is a chemical process by which #minerals (mainly calcium) are removed from any of the hard #tissues : enamel, dentine, and cementum. It begins at the crystal surface found inside the hard #tooth tissue and may progress into cavitation.

Vestibuloplasty

Image
# Vestibuloplasty is the surgical procedure whereby the #oral vestibule is deepened changing the soft tissue attachment and thus increasing the size of the #denture bearing area and height of the residual alveolar ridge. The deepening is done without any addition of #Bones .

Removable Partial Denture

Image
A removable partial #denture (RPD) is for a partially edentulous patient who desires to have replacement #teeth for functional or aesthetic reasons and who cannot have a #bridge (a fixed partial denture) for any reason, such as a lack of required teeth to serve as support

Temporomandibular Joint

Image
The temporomandibular joint is the joint that connects #jaw to #skull . When this joint is injured or damaged, it can lead to a localized pain disorder called temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome. Causes include injury to the #teeth or jaw, misalignment, teeth grinding etc

Sialolithotomy

Image
#Sialolithotomy simply refers to the removal of a salivary stone through the #mouth . These stones are typically lodged in the ductal system of the gland and cause obstruction and swelling while eating. Sialolithotomy is a minimally invasive technique. https:// dental.cmesociety.com /  

Sialography

Image
#Sialography (also termed radio sialography) is the radiographic examination of the #salivary glands. It usually involves the injection of a small amount of contrast medium into the salivary duct of a single #gland , followed by routine X-ray projections. https:// dental.cmesociety.com /  

Endosteal Implants

Image
In endosteal #implants the #tooth roots are replaced by screws, cylinders, or blades that are usually made of titanium or ceramic material. The implant is surgically drilled into the #jawbone that helps to hold the artificial #teeth in place. These lie well below the #gums .

Stomatitis

Image
#Stomatitis is inflammation of the #mouth and lips. It refers to any inflammatory process affecting the #mucous membranes of the mouth and lips, with or without #oral #ulceration .Common causes include #infections , nutritional deficiencies, allergic reactions, #radiotherapy etc

Sedative Filling

Image
A “sedative filling” is a temporary filling used to repair a decayed, chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged #tooth and used by #dentists in cases where: Extensive restoration to a tooth, or several #teeth , is required or a cavity has progressed very near or to the #pulp (nerve)

Scaling and Root Planing

Image
Scaling and root planing is a procedure involving removal of #dental plaque and #calculus (scaling or debridement) and then smoothing, or planing, of the surfaces of the roots, removing #cementum or dentine that is impregnated with calculus, toxins, or microorganisms.

Ranula

Image
A #ranula is a #mucus extravasation cyst involving a sublingual gland and is a type of mucocele found on the floor of the #mouth . Ranulas present as a swelling of connective tissue consisting of collected mucin from a ruptured #salivarygland caused by local #trauma .

Pulpitis

Image
#Pulpitis is inflammation of #dental pulp tissue. The pulp contains the blood vessels the nerves and connective tissue inside a #tooth and provides the tooth’s blood and nutrients. Pulpitis is mainly caused by #Bacteria infection which itself is a secondary development of #caries

Periodontal Abscess

Image
A #periodontalabscess is a pocket of pus in the #tissues of the gum. It looks like a small red ball pushing out of the swollen gum. An abscess can occur with #periodontitis , which causes the #gums to pull away from the #teeth . This leaves deep pockets where #bacteria can grow.

Periapical cyst

Image
Periapical cyst Periapical is the tissues surrounding the apex of the root of a #tooth & a cyst is a pathological cavity lined by #epithelium having fluid or gaseous content that is not created by the accumulation of pus. It is caused by #pulpalnecrosis or dental caries or trauma

Dental Pellicle

Image
The #dentalpellicle or acquired pellicle is a protein film that forms on the surface #Enamel by selective binding of #glycoproteins from #Saliva that prevents continuous deposition of salivary calcium phosphate. It protects the #tooth from acids produced by #oralmicroorganisms .

Osseointegration

Image
#Osseointegration is the direct structural & functional connection between living bone & the surface of a load bearing artificial #implant .Osseointegrated implant is defined as an endosteal implant containing pores into which osteoblasts & supporting connective tissue can migrate

Orthognathic Surgery

Image
# Orthognathic surgery also known as corrective #jaw surgery is surgery designed to correct conditions of the jaw and #face related to structure, growth, sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, malocclusion problems, or other #orthodontics problems that cannot be easily treated with #braces
