Evary tooth has a prominent components which includes enamel, dentin and pulp. Pulp is that part of the tooth which provides nutrients and nerves. A cavity in the tooth if left untreated causes bacterial infection, pockets, bone loss and/or abscesses which give rise to pain and swelling spreading to the face and head.

Causes

• Cracked Teeth
• Deep Cavities left untreated
• Trauma
• Unidentified Cavities
• Periodontal Pain

Steps of Root Canal Treatment:

• X-rays
• Anesthesia
• Pulpectomy (Removal of Pulp Tissue)
• Cleaning of canals of the teeth
• Filling and rebuilding of tooth Structure

Note

In some cases, where the tooth structure is extensively damaged, a post and crown is recommended to protect the tooth from fracture.

Dental Bridge

A Dental bridge is recommended where there is one or more missing teeth .Dental bridges is are generally used to replace gaps left by missing teeth so that the surrounding teeth don't rotate or shift into empty spaces ;thus preventing a bad bite. The imbalance caused by missing teeth can lead to gum disease and temporomandibular joint disorders. A bridge is made of two or more crowns for teeth on either side of the gap. It is to these crowns the false/missing tooth or teeth are attached Dental bridges are made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials .Your dentist can help you decide which to use based on location of missing teeth, its function, aesthetic consideration and cost. Dental bridges are cemented to natural teeth or implants surrounding the gaps.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is a replacement for tooth roots and provides a stable foundation for future crown or bridge to replace the missing teeth. The implant is placed into the jaw bone and allowed to fuse or integrate with the bone over a period of time. It acts as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. They can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or the whole set of teeth. In other words, the dental implant can be used to support a dental prosthesis such as single crowns, bridge, dentures, facial prosthesis and act as an orthodontic anchor to restore functions and aesthetics. Dental implants are usually made of titanium a BIO-COMPITABLE material which allows them to fuse with the human bone and avoids the precipitation of a foreign-body reaction. Implants fuse with the bone by biological process turned as OSSEOINTEGRATION. The prognosis and outcomes of dental implants placement has improved drastically with a success rate of nearly close to 98%.

Success or Failure of Implants Depends on:

• Health of the person.
• Drugs which impact osseointegration.
• Health of tissues in mouth.
• Amount of stress put on implant and fixture during normal function.
• Planning the position and number of implants is key to the long term stability and health of the prosthesis.
• The prerequisites to long term success of osseointegrated dental implants are healthy bone and gingiva.
