What is dental implant? Placing a bridge after teeth have been lost can prevent a chain reaction of problems that could affect your entire mouth. Teeth need each other for support, and when a tooth is lost, the biting forces change on the teeth next to the space, causing them to shift. When a tooth on the opposite arch no longer has anything to chew against, it begins to extrude out of the socket. You can eventually end up losing it too.As your bite changes, it gets harder and harder to chew your food and your jaw joint, the TMJ, may be damaged. It's also much harder to clean teeth that have shifted. Harmful plaque and tartar collect in these new hard-to-reach places, causing cavities and the permanent bone loss that comes with gum disease. When you have missing teeth, your overall health can be affected because of poor nutrition. The people who have missing teeth cannot chew very well and they cannot eat every kind of food. And also loss of teeth can change way of bite and this can lead to problems with the jaw joint which is called the temporomandibular joint. There can be changes in your speech when you have loosing teeth and your self-confidence can be affected.Dental implants are small titanium cylinders that are surgically inserted into the bone of the jaw to replace the roots of missing teeth. Artificial teeth are then attached to the implants, and can be used as part of a bridge.A partial denture is another way to solve the problem of missing teeth, but there are se

Scaling and root planning are the most common and conservative form of treatment for periodontal (gum) disease. In the procedure of scaling the calculus, which is usually called as tartar and plaque, are removed. Plaque is a sticky substance and it is full of bacteria. The calculus is formed when the plaque hardens in time. The calculus and the plaque attach to the tooth surfaces, especially below the gum line along the root surface. And the plaque is more likely to stick to rough surface so the root surfaces need to be smoothed down. The process of root planning is for smoothing down the root surface. In this procedure all the calculus are removed and the root-surface irregularities are smoothed. Ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments are used in the procedure of scaling and root planning. Ultrasonic instruments are electric or air-powered devices. They have two components. The first one is a relatively dull metal tip. It vibrates at a very high frequency and knocks plaque and calculus off the tooth. The second one is a water irrigation system that cools the tip and helps to flush out the debris from the teeth. The hand instruments have cutting edges and they are pressed against the teeth. The hand instruments are called as scalers and curettes. They are not powered instruments. There are various shapes and sizes of them. They are used for different teeth and also for different surfaces of the same tooth.
