Yooyh Decay

Image
  From the photos, I can see multiple molars with obvious dark/brown areas and holes in the chewing surfaces, particularly the back teeth. These are very suspicious for dental cavities (caries), and some look fairly deep. However, a photo cannot tell whether the decay has reached the nerve/root, so an examination plus dental X-rays is important before deciding between a filling, root canal, or extraction. I Indian Dental Association +1 What may be happening A cavity generally progresses roughly like this: Enamel decay → dentin decay → deep decay near pulp/nerve → infection/abscess If the cavity is still restorable without pulp involvement, the dentist removes the diseased tooth structure and places a filling. If the pulp is infected, root-canal treatment may be needed; a badly weakened root-treated molar often needs a crown afterward. If a tooth cannot be predictably restored, extraction may be considered. N nhs.uk +2 Treatment possibilities Situation Typical treatmen...

  Natural Teeth Cavity Filling: Options, Limitations & Science If you're looking for natural or non-toxic alternatives to traditional dental cavity fillings (like amalgam or composite resins), there are a few options — though they come with important limitations. First: Can Cavities Be "Naturally" Filled? No true "natural" method can reverse a fully developed cavity that has breached the enamel and formed a hole (decay into dentin). Once there’s a cavity, it generally requires mechanical intervention — cleaning, and filling with a biocompatible material — by a dentist. That said, early-stage enamel demineralization (white spot lesions) can be remineralized naturally — this is often what people refer to when talking about “natural cavity healing.” 1. Natural Remineralization Methods (for early-stage decay) These can halt or reverse early-stage enamel erosion: A. Mineral-rich diet: High in calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, K2, and magnesi...

Reversible Pulpitis- Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment

  Introduction This is the first stage of pulpitis giving sharp hypersensitivity response to cold, but pain subsides on the removal of stimulus. Definition Reversible pulpitis: it is a mild to moderate inflammatory condition of the pulp caused by noxious stimuli in which the pulp is capable of returning to uninflamed condition following removal of stimuli. Types of Reversible Pulpitis There are two types of Reversible Pulpitis- Acute Reversible Pulpitis Pain occurs for short period of time (few hours and day) however pain immediately ceases when the stimulus is removed. Chronic Reversible Pulpitis Pain present for Long time (months) however pain immediately ceases on the removal of stimulus. Causes/Etiology of Reversible Pulpitis Causes/Etiology of Reversible Pulpitis Trauma to Tooth Heat produced when preparing a cavity with dull bur or without coolant Excessive dehydration of cavity Galvanic shock Chemical stimulus as from sweets and sour ...

Infections in Immunocompromised Patients

  ·   Gingivitis normally has a slow progression toward periodontal disease with increasingly obvious symptoms as the disease worsens. However, people with immune system impairments have more rapid development of periodontal disease. ·   Causes of Periodontal Disease The microbial causes of periodontal disease in immunocompromised patients are the same as in individuals with normal immune systems (Tyring, 2006).   In individuals infected with HIV, if the level of T-helper cells falls too low and AIDS develops, the likelihood of infection from even normally benign microorganisms increases (Prevention, 2017). Effects of Periodontal Disease ·          Gingival tissues specifically are likely targets for opportunistic infections due to the diverse population of bacteria, fungi, and viral particles normally in their environment. In these patients an infection can take root quickly, resulting in si...

Internal Resorption (Pink Tooth of Mummery)

  Definition it is an idiopathic slow or fast progressive resorptive process occurring in dentin of the pulp chamber or root canals of teeth.  It is known as pink tooth of mummery due to its pinking discoloration of crown and named after anatomist Mummery.  First Reported by Bell in 1830. Causes/ Etiology Not Known, but generally patients have history of trauma. Histopathology It is a result of the osteoclastic activity. Resorptive process is characterised by lacunae which may be filled by osteoid tissue Osteoid tissue may be regarded as attempt of repair. Symptoms Asymptomatic  Pain occurs if resorption perforates the root.  Pink tooth is pathognomonic feature.  Pulp shows either partial or complete necrosis.  In crown may be manifested as a reddish area called “Pink Spot” which is due to granulation tisue showing throgh resorbed area.  Diagnosis Clinically - Pink Tooth appearance. Radiographic Changes- -Well defined radiolucency of uniform den...
