In addition to a tooth-healthy diet and adequate oral hygiene, fluorides are the mainstay of caries prophylaxis (prevention of tooth decay). Fluoride is a natural trace element. It occurs worldwide in the soil and in all water, including drinking water. A particularly high fluoride content is found in seawater and volcanic soils. In the human … Caries Prophylaxis with Fluorides
Caries protection through the use of fluorides, including amine fluorides, is of fundamental importance in individual dental prophylaxis. Fluorides are salts of hydrofluoric acid (HF) and are widely distributed in nature. They are found in soil and in all water, with particularly high concentrations in seas and volcanic soils. Fluoride is naturally present in tooth … Caries Protection Through Amine Fluoride
Oral irrigators (irrigators, mouthwashers, water jet devices) are valuable aids for oral hygiene. They are not only a useful addition to daily dental care with toothbrush, dental floss and/or interdental brushes (interdental brushes), but in combination with the toothbrush are the means of choice for patients with fixed orthodontic appliances, for implant carriers and patients … Oral Irrigator
A model cast denture is a removable partial denture (partial denture, partial prosthesis), the stabilizing base of which is manufactured from a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy using the one-piece casting process. In the simple case, a model cast denture (synonyms: one-piece cast denture, cast-in denture, unitor denture) is anchored to the remaining teeth by means of cast … Model Casting Prosthesis
Denture relining – called relining for short – improves the fit, support and function of an existing denture by readjusting it to changed conditions of the surrounding soft tissues and the supporting jawbone. The oral mucosa and the jawbone it covers are subjected to constant pressure by a denture. A denture must therefore distribute this … Denture Relining
Dental prosthesis (synonym: prosthetics) has, according to the literal sense, the task to replace partially lost tooth substance or teeth. In fact, prosthetic work can be manufactured today in a wide range of variations and with the highest precision. Despite the technical possibilities, patients should nevertheless be aware that even the highest-quality prosthetics are replacements … Dentures to Replace Missing Teeth
An immediate denture (synonym: immediate prosthesis) is a definitive (final) removable partial or full denture to replace missing teeth. Immediately inserted after a surgical procedure, it requires adaptation to the altered jaw structure after wound healing. During the wound healing phase after tooth extraction (tooth removal), not only the soft tissues covering the jawbone regenerate. … Immediate Prosthesis
A post abutment is used to rebuild root canal-treated teeth whose natural crown has been severely destroyed, so that they can subsequently be restored with a crown and thus preserved. If the natural crown of a tooth is largely destroyed, there is sometimes not enough remaining tooth substance to attach an artificial crown to it. … Pin Buildups
A superstructure is a dental prosthesis attached to an implant. This can be a crown, a bridge or even a denture. The implant itself is surgically placed (implanted) in edentulous areas of the jaw and assumes the function of an artificial tooth root, which serves to attach the superstructure. An implant that heals without complications … Supraconstruction on Implants
Unlike a full crown, a partial crown does not encircle the tooth to be restored. It is used to stabilize only partial areas of the tooth crown, while leaving unbroken any substance that is still resilient. After preparation (grinding) of the tooth, the partial crown is fabricated indirectly (outside the mouth) and – depending on … Partial Crowns
A telescopic denture is used to replace several teeth in a partially edentulous jaw. It is a combination of a removable denture and telescoping double crowns that fit firmly in the mouth and anchor the denture without clasps. A telescopic denture differs in shape and extension from a complete denture (full denture) and also from … Telescopic Prosthesis
The dental history (medical history) represents an important component in the medical diagnostic process. Family history Are there any diseases of the teeth or jaws in your family that are common? Social history Is there any evidence of psychosocial stress or strain due to your family situation? Current medical history/systemic history (somatic and psychological complaints). … Caries: Medical History
