Peri-implantitis is a disease that can occur in implant carriers.It is similar to periodontitis of the natural tooth. Peri-implantitis is accompanied by inflammation and recession of mucosa – peri-implant mucositis – and bone – peri-implantitis – in the area of one or more implants and, if left untreated, will inevitably lead to loss of the … Periimplantitis: Symptoms, Causes, Treatment
In the salivary glands (lat. glandulae salivariae), as in all other tissues of the body, both benign and malignant tumors can develop. Within the benign (benign) salivary gland tumors, the monomorphic tumors are distinguished from the pleomorphic adenoma – colloquially called salivary gland mixed tumor – (ICD-10: D 11.0 – Benign neoplasm: parotid gland; D … Pleomorphic Adenoma
Irritant fibroma is a benign (benign) tissue growth of the oral mucosa that develops as a result of chronic inflammation or prolonged mechanical stress. These are fibrous hyperplasias (connective tissue growths) and not true neoplasms (tissue neoplasms). Growths of the gums that develop because of irritating stimuli are called epulis. Symptoms – complaints Tissue growths … Reactive Fibrous Hyperplasia: Irritant Fibroma
The word laser – Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation – is an abbreviation from the English language, which translated means “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation”. Lasers have been used successfully in medicine since the early sixties. A distinction is made between different types of lasers: Solid-state laser Gas laser Liquid laser … Laser in Periodontology
Since laser technology has found its way into dentistry, the term root canal sterilization has been used. While conventional disinfection of root canals as part of endodontic treatment (synonym: root canal treatment) leads to an efficient but not necessarily complete reduction of germs, the application of high-energy laser radiation promises almost 100% sterility. Caries, which … Root Canal Sterilization
There are different types of lasers available today. The so-called Erbium:YAG laser (synonym: Er:YAG laser), a solid-state laser, is particularly suitable for use in dentistry.It is used by dentists to gently and almost painlessly remove caries, prepare teeth to receive a filling and kill bacteria. Furthermore, the Erbium:YAG laser is also used in surgical procedures. … Erbium: YAG Laser Therapy
Digital tooth shade determination (synonym: digital tooth shade measurement) is a procedure for the exact evaluation of the shade-providing components of a tooth surface prior to the fabrication of tooth-colored restorations. The correct determination of tooth color is a very difficult step in the fabrication of tooth-colored restorations, because the color impression of the natural … Digital Tooth Shade Determination
Digital radiography, or radiovisiography (RVG), is a method of recording, displaying and processing radiographs using electronic data processing. It differs from conventional radiographs, which use film for recording, in that a sensor or sensor film is positioned in the mouth in place of the conventional dental film. The radiation image is visualized with a digital … Digital X-ray
Functional analysis refers to various clinical and instrumental diagnostic procedures that provide information about the functional state of the craniomandibular system (masticatory system). With their help, disorders in the interaction of teeth, temporomandibular joints and masticatory muscles, the so-called craniomandibular dysfunctions (CMD), are detected. The dysfunctions recorded by examination can be divided into: Arthropathies – … Functional Analysis of Crandiomandibular Systems
Preprosthetic surgery is the surgical improvement of the denture bed in the upper and/or lower jaw. Due to tooth loss and lack of loading on the alveolar bone (jawbone), atrophy (recession) of the bone occurs. Often, the mobile mucosa reaches close to the alveolar ridge. As a result, the retention of dentures is often unsatisfactory, … Preprosthetic Surgery
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
