Insert systems are prefabricated ceramic inlays (mega-fillers) used to provide the patient with direct (made in the mouth) fillings that are matched in shape and size to special oscillating preparation instruments (sound-activated instruments used to work on the tooth defect). A ceramic insert is adhesively bonded to the tooth with composite (by micro-serration with resin), … Insert Systems
Caries infiltration (icon therapy) is a comparatively new technique that can be used to arrest early-detected, not yet advanced, carious lesions. No cavity needs to be prepared (no hole drilled) to make the initial (incipient) caries accessible to therapy. The treatment is completed painlessly in one treatment session. Caries infiltration is a so-called microinvasive procedure … Caries Infiltration
A ceramic inlay (synonyms: ceramic inlay; ceramic inlay;) is a tooth-colored dental filling produced indirectly (outside the mouth), for which the tooth to be restored is prepared (ground) using a specific technique and adhesively bonded (by clamping in microscopic pores) with special materials matched to the ceramic material and the tooth hard substances. In rare … Ceramic Inlay for Teeth
Resin inlays are dental fillings that are preferably manufactured indirectly (outside the mouth) and inserted into the tooth that has been previously prepared (ground) using a specific technique with special luting materials adapted to the resin material. The spatial extent of the preparation in the case of the inlay is limited occlusally (on the occlusal … Plastic Inlay
Plastic fillings (composite fillings) are used for tooth-colored restoration of carious defects in both the anterior and posterior regions. They are placed in the cavity (hole) in a plastic state and harden there by polymerization (chemical setting). In the process, they form a micromechanical bond with the tooth substance when the dentine adhesive technique is … Synthetic Filling (Composite Filling)
EQUIA is a tooth-colored filling material based on a modern glass ionomer cement (GIZ) that, within its range of indications, represents a time-saving and cost-effective alternative to costly tooth-colored resin fillings or aesthetically unsatisfactory amalgam fillings. Due to its long durability and comparatively simple application, amalgam is still the standard material for basic posterior restorations. … Glass Ionomer Cements (EQUIA)
Onlays are dental fillings that are usually fabricated indirectly (outside the mouth) and placed in the tooth that has been previously prepared (ground) using special luting materials matched to the onlay material. The spatial limits of the preparation are on the cusp tips of the tooth. In terms of preparation technique, the onlay thus occupies … Onlay Technology
Glass-ceramic composites are a group of materials in the field of dental technology. Due to their material properties, they are suitable for the indirect fabrication (fabrication in the dental laboratory after taking an impression) of framework-free restorations (restorations) such as esthetic-looking tooth-colored inlays (inlay fillings), onlays (inlay fillings incorporating the cusps of the tooth) and … Glass Ceramic Composite
Electroacupuncture goes back to the old traditional method of classical acupuncture in Chinese medicine and is used today in combination with alternative methods such as homeopathy. Acupuncture is based on the assumption that the energy channels (meridians) of the body can be reached via certain acupuncture points and can thus be influenced by targeted needle … Electroacupuncture in Dentistry
Frey syndrome (synonyms: Auriculotemporal syndrome; Frey-Baillarger syndrome; Frey’s syndrome; Gustatory sweating; Gustatory hyperhidrosis; Frey’s disease; ICD:10-GM G50.8: Other diseases of the trigeminal nerve) refers to profuse sweating in defined areas of skin on the face and neck, triggered by gustatory stimuli (taste stimuli) such as chewing, tasting, or biting. The Polish neurologist Lucja Frey-Gottesmann described … Frey Syndrome: Symptoms, Causes, Treatment
Functional disorders (dysfunctions) are disorders in the normal interaction of teeth and muscles. These include: Teeth grinding Teeth clenching Cheek biting Tongue biting Symptoms – complaints Dysfunction is usually recognized by pain, but other complaints are also possible: Cracking or pain in the jaw joint Myalgia (muscle pain) Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) Chronic tension … Functional Disorders
Halitophobia (synonym: fear of bad breath; ICD-10-GM F40.9: Phobic disorder, unspecified) describes the belief or fear of suffering from bad breath. Halitosis (bad breath) is a problem that is often kept quiet about. Hardly anyone openly addresses the person they are talking to about their unpleasant smell, because bad breath is still a taboo subject … Halitophobia
