Surgical procedures for bone defect filling are used to regain lost bone substance in the upper or lower jaw. Bone defect filling may be required, for example, after the removal of large cysts. Special techniques are also used to prevent collapse of the alveolus (collapse of the bony tooth compartment) after extraction (tooth removal). This … Bone Defect Filling
Individually selected macro- and micronutrients, supplied to the body in sufficient quantities, can help in the prevention and therapy of dental diseases. Micronutrients (vital substances) include: Vitamins Minerals Trace elements Essential fatty acids Essential amino acids Secondary plant substances Other micronutrients (vital substances) Some micronutrients (vital substances) our body can produce itself, but many it … Vital Substances: Micronutrient Therapy
Auxiliary implants (synonyms: temporary implants, provisional implants, mini-implants, IPI for English : Immediate Provisional Implants) serve as anchoring elements for orthodontic appliances or for provisional dentures during postoperative healing phases and – unlike permanent implants – are inserted only temporarily (temporarily inserted). Auxiliary implants differ from permanent implants (permanently placed artificial tooth roots) in terms … Auxiliary Implants
In modern dentistry, numerous medical devices help to make diagnoses in the dental, oral and maxillofacial systems, thereby contributing to a differentiated therapeutic approach. All patients are familiar with the clinical control examination at the dentist. Many patients are familiar with caries diagnostics, which is supplemented beyond inspection by laser, caries meter or transillumination (FOTI). … Medical Device Diagnostics in Dentistry
An intraoral camera (synonyms: intraoral camera, oral camera) is a digital camera that is pen-shaped in its dimensions and thus dainty enough to allow digital photography inside the mouth while still maintaining high resolution. The demands placed on a camera system that can be used intraorally are correspondingly high: High intraoral depth of field High … Intraoral Camera
An oral current measurement (synonym: galvanic oral current measurement) is used to determine the electrical potential that can build up between different types of metals in the aqueous environment of the oral cavity. Proponents of holistic treatment methods attribute adverse health effects to this. Scientifically undisputed is the fact that electrochemical processes occur between metals … Mouth Current Measurement
The periotron measurement method is used to diagnose inflammation of a periodontium (synonym: periodont, periodontal apparatus) by quantitatively determining the amount of fluid secreted in the sulcus (furrow between the tooth and gum). Its quantity is correlated (interrelated) with the degree of inflammation of the periodontal tissues. Thanks to growing health awareness, early dental diagnostics … Periotron Measurement
Endometric root canal length measurement (synonym: electrometric root canal length determination) is a diagnostic procedure that can be used to determine the preparation length of a root canal very accurately as part of a root canal treatment and thus makes an important contribution to its success. The aim of root canal treatment is to prepare … Root Canal Length Measurement (Endometry)
Surgical procedures on the periodontium (periodontal apparatus) aim, on the one hand, to treat periodontal pockets under vision in order to achieve a state of periodontal health by eliminating (removing) calculus (tartar below the gums) and periodontopathogenic microorganisms. In addition, periodontal surgery (periodontal surgery) is used to correct mucogingival problems such as recession (exposed tooth … Periodontal Surgery
By collecting the Periodontal Screening Index (PSI), dentists can easily determine the severity of periodontitis (inflammation of the periodontium) as part of routine examinations and initiate therapeutic measures at an early stage if treatment is needed. The PSI was developed in the 1990s. While it has been a mandatory part of every routine dental examination … Periodontal Screening Index
Periodontology is the study of the periodontium (periodontal apparatus). It deals with the diagnosis and treatment of periodontopathies (periodontal diseases). Periodontal diseases include all inflammatory pathological (pathological) changes of the periodontium. The most common periodontal disease is periodontitis. It has become very important in recent decades. This is because it is no longer just a … Periodontics
A tetracycline thread is a thread impregnated with the antibiotic tetracycline for local application in periodontal pockets (gum pockets colonized by bacterial plaque). Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic produced by streptomyces (Streptomyces aureofaciens) and is used against numerous bacterial infections. The filaments continuously release tetracycline into the diseased periodontal pocket for more than seven days. … Tetracycline Thread
