Bisection And Bicuspidization: A Literature Review

Vital pulp therapy is a valuable treatment modality, especially for the teeth with open apices and vital pulp which are mechanically or cariously exposed. Management of permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis includes RCT (gold standard) or extraction. Current studies have revealed that the pulp of permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis can be managed effectively by VPT. There are randomized clinical trials which have compared outcomes of VPT using CEM cement with RCT, on mature molars with irreversible pulpitis. The results have shown that radiographic and clinical success of VPT is similar to RCT. The advantages of VPT over RCT includes decreased time and cost, less tooth destruction, preserving the vitality of tooth, more survival

Dental implants are a long term replacement of teeth that are positioned in the jawbone beneath the gums. “They are substitutes for the roots of missing teeth and act as an anchor for a replacement tooth, crown, or a set of replacement teeth” (Dominguez). Since these are implanted directly to the jawbone, the gum will need to heal first and when the post is connected to the original implant, that is when the artificial tooth will be mounted. The convenience of this technology is that the adjacent teeth do not need to be prepped or dealt with when replacing the missing teeth. When the implants are properly maintained, they can typically last a lifetime and it is recommended to always take better care of the tooth. Dental implant is a form of cosmetic dentistry that is used to replace missing teeth for a more natural look and feel (Kotrzewski). When there is missing teeth, chewing ability is lost; not choosing to replace missing teeth can cause other teeth to be lost as well. One will have to replace missing teeth as soon as possible, because if chosen otherwise, in the end, there will be no teeth at all. Other obvious reasons to replace lost teeth, is that it can affect someone’s appearance and there could be a loss of self-esteem. The implants are there to aid in speaking and chewing problems that were caused by missing teeth. Dental implants are often the best type of treatment option for

When I first moved to Sedona, I fainted and fell face down on a concrete pad. I broke my incisor tooth, which pushed the front tooth next to it out of alignment. I was devastated. Over time the two teeth slowly died. My conventional dentist urged me to have root canals which I eventually did because I did not know what else to do. Dentistry offers very few choices when a tooth becomes badly damaged or dies. The tooth can either be extracted or a procedure called a root canal can be done to “save the tooth.”

The methacrylate based, light cured, unfilled resin is perfect for filling small voids in the restoration. It gives the restoration a great seal which prevents any future leakage or failure. Before placing Permaseal, the restoration must be etched using the same phosphoric acid used earlier. After placing a thin layer, it is polymerized using the curing light and finally polished. The other two occlusal preps were similarly restored. Because all 3 preps had enough normal dentin thickness over the pulp tissue, the need for a liner or a base was not necessary in any of the restorations.

Prosthetic Dentistry is a branch of dental science which deals with the replacement of missing teeth and associated structures to restore mainly function and aesthetics. Prosthetic dentistry is further divided into Fixed Prosthodontics - which the restorations are immovable, fixed and cemented, they can’t be removed except by the dentist such as crown and bridge- and Removable Prosthodontics –which the restorations are easily removed and inserted back into the mouth by the patient on his own such as complete and partial dentures- they both serve the aim of prosthetic dentistry.

This is also a procedure for denture and they have proved to be stronger and durable compared to the restorative counterparts. It may be either crowns or bridges or even removable dentures. The dental implantation is a permanent solution to the loss of teeth. It is like a steady foundation to the restorative solutions of teeth. The greatest advantage is that it is resistant to cavity. The procedure of dental implant is considered to be the most effective in a functional way. It involves a huge cost and it will depend upon the oral surgeons who perform the surgical

with severe dental issues, he often recommends full mouth reconstruction. These procedures are more extreme than a few random fillings or caps, and will require multiple visits. Unlike the making and use of dentures, where the person 's teeth are removed and prosthetic teeth are applied, full mouth reconstruction revitalizes and renews the existing teeth in the mouth. This style of restorative dentistry uses science and aesthetic procedures to create straightened teeth, brighter smiles, and aligned bites. Crown or caps, are covers that are placed over the entire tooth. These are most often used when the tooth requires a filling that accounts for more than 50% of the entire tooth 's surface. Another tool used in the restoration process of full mouth reconstruction is the fixed dental bridge. When only one tooth is missing, or needs to be pulled due to decay, a fixed bridge may be a viable option. This only work if the teeth left on either side of the missing tooth are in good shape, as the bridge is permanently attached to the neighboring teeth. In situations where many teeth are missing, dental implants may be necessary. To achieve this, metal cylinders are drilled into the jaw bone, and act as anchors for dentures, bridges, or crowns. This is a more in-depth procedure, but one with very long lasting positive impact upon the patient. Lennox Lin will guide his patients toward the type of full mouth reconstruction that is best for their

Are you in pain? You may need a root canal. Modern root canal procedures are stress-free, painless, and simple to perform. Before we begin, we numb the area using a local anesthetic. We then access the dental pulp using specialized rotary equipment and remove the infected material. We seal the inside of your tooth and fill the empty cavity with a substance called gutta-percha. This process eliminates all pain and prevents further infection of the tooth. If you are in need of root canal therapy, we can offer you top-notch service in a calm, comfortable environment.

Temporomandibular disorder, or TMD, is a range of disorders that encompass the temporomandibular joint. The temporomandibular joint connects the jaw, or mandible, or the temporal bone. As the reader comprehends this paper, he will come to find that TMD is different from TMJ due to society’s misunderstanding of the disorder. After the student began her research, she hypothesized that anyone could develop a temporomandibular disorder, orthodontic treatment would be the main cause of TMD, and women would have worse symptoms than men would. The student will examine the statistics, symptoms, diagnostic process, the categories of TMD, and treatment of this painful disease.

Corrective jaw surgery is often performed to correct minor and major dental and skeletal irregularities, including the misalignment of teeth and jaws. Surgery can improve breathing, speaking chewing, or even to improve your appearance. Jaw surgery can be a corrective option if you have moderate to severe jaw issues that cannot be resolved with orthodontics alone. However, there are some things you should know about jaw surgery before and after, when making the decision to commit to the surgery.

The tumor was removed and the patient is in follow up without signs of recurrence. This case demonstrates the occurrence of this tumor in elderly patients.

There was one particular case during these past six years working at Plainview Oral and Maxillofacial surgery that made me realize my desire to go to dental school. Dr. Barry Bass and I began preparing for a surgical extraction of the left mandibular second molar. The tooth was infected and formed a large cystic fibroma that was eating away at the patients jawbone. Dr. Bass said this was going to be a long and difficult surgery; nevertheless, I was prepared for the challenge. I reviewed the Cone Beam CT scan to see what specific instruments the doctor may want for the surgery, other than the general surgical tray. Sometimes the doctors choose instruments that I would never think to use and I am eager to learn the tools and tricks of the

The root canal is a very common dental procedure. In the United States, more than 25 million root canal procedures are performed every single year. According to the dentists, these procedures are completely safe and harmless. However, the scientists cannot agree with this opinion and, over the past 100 years, they have been trying to prove that the root canals can implement danger.
