How effective the prevention of acute pulpitis

Acute pulpitis, acute dental pulp tissue inflammation, the source of infection is mainly from the deep medullary pulpitis infection can cause apical infection through the apical foramen, the main clinical features of severe pain, general pain medications little effect , the latter can develop the pulpitis gangrene, treatment of opening the chamber and medication for pain.

To effectively prevent pulpitis should do the following:

Pulpitis most of the developed by dental caries deep into dentin, the bacteria through the dentin tubule, or caused by gingival whole penetrating into the medullary cavity. The most prominent symptoms of pulpitis pain, and severe pain. A lot of trouble to the people's daily lives and should therefore be actively preventing the occurrence of the disease.

1. Exercise, and rest, infirmity, Imperial evil out.

2. On a regular basis to remove the stones of the tooth neck tooth neck to keep clean, smooth, the food residue is not easy to re-attach. Painted with iodine glycerin, and teeth which cause anti-inflammatory role of convergence, reduce purulent  discharge, reduce the gingival pocket.

3. Using a reasonable method of brushing can reduce plaque and tartar, the correct method of brushing: the brush along the teeth of the direction on the tooth brush down dental instruments on the lower teeth brush from the bottom up, outside of the inside of the root teeth and chewing The face brush.

4. The prevention of acute pulpitis include maintaining good oral hygiene, morning and evening brushing, mouthwash after meals is an important part of, oral health can reduce the accumulation of plaque and bacteria breeding.

Teeth whitening technology

Ultrasonic Scaler: exogenous yellow teeth. Can remove the oppression of the lumps of gum tartar, prevention and treatment of periodontal disease, but also remove the tooth surface staining. It is noteworthy that, two ultrasonic scaler shortest clearance time for three months or six months, to draw the teeth after cleaning teeth leaving very shallow scratches, must go through a period of time by the calcium in the saliva remineralization to recover.

For bleaching of tetracycline. It can release the new oxygen to the tooth surface color bleaching, which itself has toxic side effects. However, this bleaching only on the surface of the teeth work, different period of time, teeth will restore its original color.

Coverage mask technology: for tetracycline and dental fluorosis, the method is first the tooth surface with a weak acid corrosion, so that the tooth surface with small uneven surface, and then coated with photosensitive resin to the tooth surface coloring Results solid. Natural and dental instruments realistic, and strong and shiny. But a long time will discoloration aging (up to last for three years), need to re-refundable repair.

Porcelain crown tooth: inactivation will need to whiten teeth and taper ground, wear the crown, the teeth become white and beautiful, and wearable, durable does not fade.

Experts said domestic tooth whitening market demand, but we do not recommend the consumer tooth whitening, for domestic consumers, the protection of dental health is the most important, but so far, the market not an absolute to meet consumer demand for teeth whitening products. The anonymity of experts: Patients’ need a start of Camry oral teeth bleaching, however, this service has repeatedly caused the patient's dissatisfaction. The reason is that teeth bleaching effect is difficult to meet consumers' expectations, many consumers want teeth bleaching their teeth as the teeth of the star, white crystal, in fact, it is very unrealistic, unless porcelain teeth otherwise there are no less significant products of the whitening effect.

The type of dental implant

Experts said that the implant is implanted into that part of the alveolar bone, you can image it as a tooth root implant is very important in the entire dental implant process, the implant directly determine planting the quality of the teeth. At present, clinical implant?

Screw Implants. Having a conical and cylindrical two cylindrical more commonly used. Its material is the most common is the basis of the structure of pure titanium or titanium alloy surface treatment spraying bio-ceramics, bio-oxidation treatment, and bone morphogenetic protein. The surface structure of different forms of threaded holes or grooves, increasing the contact area with the dental instruments bone or to prevent the reverse rotation of the implant out.

The leafy implant. The leafy implant is mainly used for the cultivation of the posterior teeth loss. Missing teeth and parts of the number of missing teeth, and local alveolar bone shape design into a variety of implants; generally made ​​of pure titanium, can also be some type or two-stage two. Mainly applied to the blade-like alveolar or alveolar bone height less than. The main advantage Affect the cultivation of the five factors of dental healing of the leafy implant implantation less destruction of bone and bone contact area, the leaves thin, thick buccal and lingual side of the supporting bone, good stability after implantation for special parts with the need to design flexibility.

There is a hollow round implants. Relatively less clinical. Experts said that the choice of dental implant, the implant must be very careful to understand the characteristic of each type of implant to choose their own implants is fundamental.

What is the metal dental implant material?

Dental implant repair teeth, many patients consultant dental implant materials exactly what planting materials wife own teeth. In this regard, we are here mainly to introduce the metal dental implant material. Dental implant materials can be divided into a total of three kinds of carbon materials, metals and ceramics classes.

Metal under the premise to meet the basic biocompatibility and outstanding mechanical performance advantages, resulting in application as early as, and is still widely used in a dental implant material. Titanium and titanium alloy with good biological performance and the ideal mechanical properties has become the most widely favored a metal.

Chemical properties, titanium is an active element, a meager layer of oxide film can be formed in the surface exposed to the air the moment, this layer of the oxide film inert high degree, and can effectively prevent further oxidation and corrosion to dental instruments ensure a good biocompatibility of titanium.

In terms of mechanical strength, titanium as good dental implant materials, their low density, high mechanical strength, modulus of elasticity compared with other medical metal closer to the bone tissue, which makes titanium has better biomechanical compatibility. Also, such a dental implant material also has good machining properties. Therefore more than 90% of the cultivation Understand the dental materials and characteristics of products based on titanium or titanium alloy material.

Other commonly used metal of 316L stainless steel, cast cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy, etc., but because of biological and mechanical properties of the defects have gradually been replaced by titanium. In addition, there are some rare metals such as tantalum, zirconium and so can be used as dental implant materials, but also has good biocompatibility, but the price is expensive and therefore rarely used.

An important indicator of tooth whitening

Teeth transparent sense of how it formed? It is a unique texture to the surface of the tooth enamel are given teeth, the impact of transparent enamel, mainly enamel water content, water content, the higher the teeth, the more exquisitely carved. BEYOND whitening technology, using high-intensity blue wavelength range of 480-520 nm, throughout the decolorizing process is completed at low temperatures, and completely avoids the problem of dehydration. After the teeth bleaching, teeth the more it is crystal clear and smooth.

In addition, the gloss index. Like the jade industry, which said, enamel density of impact to the tooth surface reflective capacity, the gloss of the teeth. Bleaching treatment, the biggest problem before the advent of whitening teeth showing an opaque, dull white, is the so-called white teeth as white as plaster. This is because the traditional decolonization process, the protection dental instruments of the enamel, damage to the compactness of the tooth surface. Cold light whitening technology appears to solve this problem.

Under the cold light of the catalytic whitening agent contained in the photosensitive material can greatly accelerate the teeth bleaching process, so that the original need for a dozen hours of the treatment process, reduced to only 30 minutes did not destroy The causes and whitening of the black teeth enamel. BEYOND whitening agent in the United States, in addition to teeth bleaching agents, in particular, added a high-tech silicon material with a diameter of 20 nm, this silicon material, and further strengthen the tooth surface enamel, teeth bleaching, it is also to enhance the gloss, whitening especially vivid and natural.

When teeth after tooth extraction

The best time of the teeth after tooth extraction generally according to the position of pulling teeth and tooth morphology, especially the root of the number of how many to decide. Such as in front or single premolar tooth after a month, such as wound healing, and alveolar concave long flat, modulo teeth; posterior teeth is more than double the root or the root of teeth, tooth extraction wound large The alveolar concave deep and wide, slow wound healing alveolar concave long usually take about 2 months before the modulo teeth. Such as premature modulo, the alveolar concave wound is not long flat dentures do not close together, the impact of denture quality.

On the contrary, more than 3-6 months after tooth extraction teeth, the relative elongation of the teeth to the edentulous ridge, or the tilt of adjacent teeth, missing teeth and gaps, missing teeth gap narrowing smaller, causing the denture difficulties. In addition, long-term missing teeth, can bite relationship disorder, chewing function, weakened in turn will affect the digestion dental instruments and absorption of food, unhealthy.

Therefore, the best dental time: Under normal circumstances, about 2 to 3 months after tooth extraction, dental more appropriate, this is because the tooth extraction wound completely healed at the need for a process. If the wound does not have long good teeth, due to the absorption of alveolar bone, tooth extraction wound also changes, there will be gap between the denture and the gum tissue, resulting in food impaction, bad breath, dentures loose and Orthodontic correction there an age limit not solid, you may want to re-install.

During the extraction, the denture can not be too long, more than six months are not false teeth, and surrounding good teeth are more or less a little tilt to the missing teeth gap will affect the future dental restorations.

Why invisible orthodontics would be so popular?

Traditional orthodontic tooth device, giving the feeling of "beak steel teeth. Many adult patients are daunting. Transparent invisible orthodontics is a new 3D stereoscopic computer technology, tailor-made a series of nearly undetectable transparent denture to complete the entire orthodontic treatment. Whether it is due to crowded teeth, gaps, or traditional treatment and then shift the teeth are fully regain the smile.

Invisible braces because there is no traditional treatment process in the wire and bracket, does not affect the appearance of the outstanding merits of widely favor of the United States teeth. Oral Center experts, this invisible appliance inherited malocclusion correction of the concept of dental medicine, computer-aided three-dimensional diagnosis, the perfect combination of personalized design and digital prototyping technology.

Compared to traditional dent facial deformity invisible appliance, do not need the brackets and wire, using a series of invisible appliance, the invisible appliance made by the safety of flexible transparent polymer materials, so that the treatment process almost in dental instruments others no aware, does not affect daily life and social development. Meanwhile, the bonded brackets, adjust the arch wire cumbersome, greatly simplifies the clinical procedures, save time and effort of the entire treatment process.

Invisible orthodontics is a high-tech technology in the current international field of orthodontics. Angel’s invisible braces better highlight the advantages, but do not apply to everyone, the main utility in mild to moderate tooth deformity.

Is particularly worth mentioning is the bracket invisible appliance can be carried out according to the patients with maxillofacial morphology personalized design, each pair Orthodontics of Note of appliance production in the three-dimensional computer image technology to simulate tooth movement, tooth wear into there will be feel the force, and the location of the mobile appliance design, usually every two weeks to replace an appliance, from the initial deformed state of the teeth will gradually move to the normal arrangement of the state, the correction of the length of time depends on the patients with malocclusion serious extent, it normally takes six months to a year or so.
