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 jig splint (synonyms: Front bite splint, relaxation splint, reflex splint, relaxation plate, relaxation aid) is used to relieve pressure on all structures of the masticatory system with the aim of reducing bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) and normalizing muscle function. We use our masticatory system not only for grinding food. It is put under … Jig Splint (Front Bite Splint)
From teeth destroyed by caries (tooth decay) or by trauma (dental accident), sometimes only their root portions remain in the jawbone. Even in the course of a supposedly simple tooth extraction (Latin ex-trahere “to pull out”; tooth removal), the complication of a crown or root fracture (root fracture) can arise, so that the root portions … Removal of Root Remnants
The saliva test for Candida albicans is used to confirm the clinical diagnosis of candidiasis (synonyms: thrush, thrush mycosis, moniliasis, candidosis, candidamycosis, candidasis, candidosis) of the oral mucosa. In about 70 % of all healthy patients, and in denture wearers almost regularly, fungi can also be detected in the microbial oral flora, especially the most … Saliva Test for Candida Albicans
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
Lip and cheek bands sometimes radiate into the marginal gingiva (the gum line). Here, their strong traction forces damage the periodontium (the tooth-supporting apparatus) and prevent natural or orthodontic gap closure, so they should be removed by the surgical procedure of frenectomy. Lip and cheek bands – called frenula – are made of muscle and … Lip Band Removal (Frenectomy)
The dentin adhesive luting technique is a procedure in which the dentin surface of a cavity (dentin surface of a cavity) is chemically pretreated in such a way that low-viscosity dentin bonding agents can penetrate the surface structures and, after chemical curing, form a micromechanical bond with the dentin on one side and the composite … Filling Tooth Adhesion (Dentin Adhesive Filling)
In esthetic dentistry, digital imaging can be used to simulate the result of a planned treatment in advance. The procedure serves as a visualization and planning aid for both practitioner and patient. Indications (areas of application) The use of digital imaging is significant for patients in that it provides them with a realistic treatment outcome, … Digital Imaging: Result Preview
