The dentist places the implants into the jawbone after the area is numbed. The patient does not feel pain during this procedure. On the first day, the patient may have very little pain. This amount of pain is not more than the amount of pain after an ordinary tooth extraction.
A prosthesis will definitely be made on the implant placed in the jawbone. It is sufficient to keep this prosthesis clean by brushing and to brush the areas of the prosthesis adjacent to the gums with a toothbrush.
When a person with diabetes wants to have an implant, they are first directed to a health institution by the dentist. The amount of hba1c in the blood and the general condition of the patient are evaluated by the dentist. If the result is deemed appropriate, implant treatment is started.
After the milk teeth come out, they fulfill certain tasks in the mouth from time to fall. In the presence of a caries in the milk teeth, first of all, the pain will disturb the child. If the caries in the teeth are not treated, the child will not be able to chew effectively due to both pain and loss of substance in the teeth, and nutritional disorders may occur. On the other hand, the bad appearance of the teeth in terms of aesthetics will cause the child to have problems especially in social environments and will be affected psychologically. Another important result is that the infection that will occur with the progression of caries in the primary teeth damages the permanent tooth germ under it. When the caries is not treated, it will progress and when the tooth needs to be extracted, it will be necessary to make space holders in order to protect the space of the permanent tooth that will replace that tooth. Instead, the treatment of that primary tooth is both healthier and easier.
We can only clean up to 70% of bacteria and harmful organisms in the mouth and teeth cleaning with a toothbrush and toothpaste. The remaining 30% cannot be cleaned by toothbrushes that cannot get between our teeth. For this reason, it is important that we complete oral and dental health by using dental floss. Just using the wrong floss can damage your teeth. It is important to consult your dentist for the correct use of dental floss and dental floss that is suitable for you.
Bleaching is the process of erasing the colors that permeate our teeth, usually in yellow tones. Teeth whitening is especially preferred by people who want to gain an aesthetic smile. If done by a specialist, teeth whitening will not harm your oral and dental health in any way. Teeth whitening procedures with quality gels, appropriate devices and physician control will add health to your smile.
It is imperative to move the teeth in order for the crooked teeth that occur due to reasons such as stenosis of the jaw, early loss of milk teeth, to look properly. Therefore, it is necessary to use braces to correct crooked teeth. Teeth can be arranged with the help of brackets and wires. For people who are uncomfortable with the appearance of the braces, an aesthetic brace treatment can be provided with the wires attached to the back of the teeth, known as aesthetic braces. Again, without using wire, collision can be corrected with transparent aligners (Invisalign). However, this method is valid for simple tooth collisions.
Wisdom teeth are known to be a general problem among the public, but if the wisdom tooth is not in an incorrect position, it is not buried or decayed, it is not necessary to remove it. It is important to stay in contact with your dentist and get accurate information about whether or not it should be taken before the wisdom teeth come out and in the processes after they start to come out.
Although not in all patients, it may be necessary to perform a surgical intervention before the prosthesis in some patients. Especially in patients who have lost their teeth a long time ago or who are one-year-old, there may not be a bone area in the mouth where the prosthesis will sit. Sometimes, the old prosthesis can cause bumps or some tissue irregularities in the mouth. Therefore, it will not be possible to take a healthy measurement and make a suitable prosthesis without correcting them.
General anesthesia is the type of anesthesia in which a state of narcosis is provided by administering intravenous drugs and stun gas to the patient. It is mostly preferred in patients with fear and anxiety, people with mental retardation and in cases where local anesthesia is not sufficient. Sedation, on the other hand, is anesthesia in which only intravenous drugs are provided to the patient in compliance with the data. Sedation has no numbing effect; therefore, local anesthesia is also applied to the patients in order to match the area to be operated.
Children aged 0-15 enter the working area of pedodontics.
The edentulous period covers a long period, including the period when the primary teeth begin to erupt, the period when the primary teeth are completed in the mouth, the mixed dentition period when the permanent teeth begin to erupt, and the period when the permanent teeth are completed.
Oral surgery is performed in operating room conditions and in a sterile environment by experts in this field. Intraoral surgical interventions, which are mostly performed by local anesthesia, that is, by numbing the relevant area by injection, can sometimes be performed with general anesthesia (narcosis) or sedation method.
Along with aesthetic expectations similar to natural teeth, attention has been paid to the aesthetics of the materials used in the mouth, especially in the anterior regions. New alternatives have begun to be sought because metal-supported porcelains, which have been used for many years, cannot provide a natural appearance due to the lack of light permeability in the systems and cause allergic cases in the person from time to time, and cause graying of the gums over time.
Zirconium has started to be used in dentistry with its tissue-friendly feature. With the use of zirconium in dentistry, durability close to the metal infrastructure has been achieved. The fact that it does not reflect under porcelain like other materials and does not cause discoloration on the gums and its resistance to corrosion has increased the use of zirconium.
As a result of deep caries, the pulp (vascular nerve bundle) cannot heal itself and the infection may spread to the root tip. If an infected tooth is not treated, it also causes cyst formation and can damage the jawbone. Surgery or tooth extraction may be required.
