An overdenture (synonyms: cover denture prosthesis, coverdenture, overdenture, hybrid prosthesis, overlay denture) is used to replace the teeth of a jaw. It is a combination of a removable element and one or more elements that are fixed in the mouth. An overlay denture has the same shape and dimensions as a complete denture (full denture) … Cover Denture Prosthesis
A replacement denture (synonyms: second denture, duplicate denture) is a dental prosthesis that is used to bridge periods of time when the higher quality, permanently worn denture is not available. The fabrication of a replacement prosthesis makes sense in order to be safe from imponderables that one would otherwise have to endure toothless and thus … Replacement Prosthesis
A partial ceramic crown is a tooth-colored restoration fabricated indirectly (outside the mouth) for which the tooth to be restored is prepared (ground) using a specific technique and adhesively cemented (by mechanical anchorage in microscopic pores) with special materials matched to the ceramic material and tooth hard tissue. Over many decades, cast restorations have established … Ceramic Partial Crown
The goal of conservative dentistry (synonyms: conservative dentistry; tooth preservation) is to preserve teeth. Dental health plays the most important role, immediately followed by aesthetic considerations. Carious teeth can be the focus of treatment, as can caries-free teeth that have been damaged by periodontitis or trauma (a dental accident). To preserve the teeth, the dentist … Conservative Dentistry
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
The current state of oral hygiene is assessed by collecting an oral hygiene status. This incorporates indices that record the presence of plaque (microbial plaque) and signs of inflammation of the gingiva (the gums). Plaque or biofilm is the term used to describe the microbial plaque that forms on the surfaces and in the approximal … Oral Hygiene Status
Periodontitis is an inflammation of the periodontium. That is, it does not affect the teeth per se. Colloquially, periodontitis is also referred to as periodontal disease. However, this refers to a different form of the disease. In the course of periodontitis, the gums are usually initially inflamed. It therefore bleeds quickly and is often painful. … DNA Probe Test: Periodontitis Risk
The interleukin-1 gene test (IL-1 gene test; interleukin test 1) is a method for determining an individual’s genetic periodontitis risk. The IL-1 gene polymorphism is considered a proinflammatory (inflammation-promoting) risk factor. Patients whose genome shows a positive IL-1 genotype are more susceptible to the development of periodontitis (inflammation of the periodontium) and show stronger inflammatory … Interleukin-1 Gene Test
Cleft lip and palate (LKG cleft) (synonyms: LKG cleft; cheilognathopalatoschisis; cheilognathoschisis; cheiloschisis; diastematognathia; palatoschisis; uranoschisis; uvula cleft; uvula cleft; velum cleft; ICD-10-GM Q35-Q37: cleft lip, jaw, and palate) are among the congenital disorders. Cleft lip and palate are distinguished from simple cleft lip or palate.Isolated cleft lip and palate occur between the fifth and seventh … Cleft Lip and Palate (Cleft Lip and Palate)
Mouth rot (lat. stomatitis aphtosa, stomatitis herpetica or more precisely gingivostomatitis herpetica) is a disease that mostly occurs in young children and causes characteristic changes and discomfort in the oral cavity and gums. The incubation period is approximately two to twelve days. Symptoms – Complaints When young children first contract the virus through contact with … Mouth Rot (Stomatitis Aphtosa )
Dental laser therapy (laser is an abbreviation of “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation”) has found its way into many subfields of dentistry. Laser light is characteristically monochromatic (waves of exactly the same length, frequency and energy), coherent (all waves travel in the same phase) and parallel. This results in radiation with a very … Laser Dentistry
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
