March 13, 2014 Reading time ~ 2 min Number of reads: 31232

The arguments in favor of implantation are plentiful: from the unnecessity of grinding neighboring teeth to the lifelong results of the procedure. But making a choice among implant systems is not an easy task.

Methods of implantation Classic protocol. It takes place in 2 stages. Place the implant: incise the mucosal flap, implant, suture the wound. Do osseointegration. Time for the procedure on upper teeth is 6 months, for lower teeth - 4 months. At the 2nd stage, the mucosa over the implant is incised, the abutment is fixed, the gingival margin is formed, and the prosthesis is placed Single-phase protocol. Single-phase protocol. The operation is minimally invasive: mucosal incisions and wound closure are not made. The implant is implanted through a small puncture. On the 2nd day after implantation, a temporary crown made of metal-plastic is placed. Th…

Vaccinatie tegen covid-19 en tandheelkundige behandeling: zijn er contra-indicaties?

In 2021 is de pandemie van het coronavirus nog steeds een groot menselijk probleem. Er verschijnen nieuwe stammen, mensen blijven ziek worden. De staat neemt maatregelen om de burgers te beschermen. Een van deze maatregelen was universele vaccinatie tegen Covid-19.

De impact van het coronavirus op de systemen en organen van het menselijk lichaam is nog niet volledig bestudeerd. Wetenschappers en medici hebben natuurlijk verschillende theorieën naar voren gebracht, maar het zal jaren van studie vergen om ze te bevestigen.

Hetzelfde geldt voor het vaccin.

Onze patiënten stellen veel vragen over tandheelkundige behandeling tijdens de pandemie: of het mogelijk is om naar de kliniek te komen met milde symptomen van acute virale luchtweginfecties, of het mogelijk is om met implantatie te beginnen na vaccinatie tegen covid-19, hoe het coronavirus de revalidatie na tandheelkundige ingrepen beïnvloedt, en nog veel meer.

In dit artikel, met de hulp van een ervaren implantaatchirurg van onze kliniek, Nesterenko Alexey Pav...

What are dentures without chipping and why are they preferred?

The most common way to replace missing teeth is with a bridge. Except that the supporting teeth have to be ground down for it. And before that they are depulped (nerve is removed). There are 2 problems here:

Psychological. It is not easy to make up your mind to go to the dentist, and the prospect of nerve removal and teeth grinding will make many people postpone the visit for a long time.

Dental. Doctors don't like to depulp teeth. The reasons are several. The pulp is full of nerve endings and blood vessels. They make the tooth alive. The blood supplies nutrients, and in return, the pulp produces replacement dentin. Because of this, teeth have the ability to repair this layer when it is damaged. Nerve endings signal a problem with the tooth, so tooth decay, for example, can be diagnosed in its early stages. Without the pulp, nutrition is not supplied, and tissues are not renewed. A "dead tooth" becomes very fragile. It is difficult to detect infe…

Piezosurgery machine

Reading time ~ 2 min Number of readings: 2668

Piezotome is a progressive equipment for surgery with ultrasound. The principle of its operation is based on local destructive effect on bone tissue ultrasound radiation.

How the piezotome works

Ultrasonic device structurally consists of a "scalpel" with nozzles and a regulating unit, which sets the necessary frequency of oscillations to achieve the desired effect. The frequency range of the equipment is wide - 10-29000 Hz, with an amplitude of vibrations in the range of 60-200 microns. The power and frequency are selected by the dentist depending on the surgical objectives. This contributes to effective work with bone tissues of different structure and density.

Artificial gum – what is it and does it need to be done?

Reading time ~ 4 min Number of readings: 19642

Restoration of dentition solves not only functional problems, replacing lost teeth with artificial ones. Prosthodontists attach equal importance to the aesthetic component of prosthetics. Functionality and aesthetics are combined by the use of artificial gum.

Most often such a design is used in the manufacture of removable prostheses. Crowns are fixed in the base, creating a complete imitation of the gum and teeth in it. The material for such products are polymers: acrylic, nylon, AcryFree. The latter two are hypoallergenic, but acrylic can cause an allergic reaction. The teeth on the artificial gum transfer part of the load to the base, but this distribution is uneven. Adequate distribution is possible only with prosthetics on implants.

Gum problems can be expressed in different ways during implantation:

Tandextractie met ultrageluid

Reading time ~ 3 min Number of readings: 7024

Zelfs een goede mondverzorging sluit de mogelijkheid van een trauma of andere factor die het trekken van tanden of kiezen noodzakelijk maakt, niet uit. De noodzaak om de tand eruit te trekken met een tang of in stukken te zagen met een freesmachine voor fragmentaire verwijdering veroorzaakt onaangename associaties en wordt een reden om een bezoek aan de tandarts uit te stellen.

The innovation of 2017-2018 was the use of ultrasound equipment in dentistry - piezotome, for tooth extraction. Previously, ultrasound was used for the removal of dental calculus, treatment of periodontal disease.

Uitrusting

Piezotome bevat een blokregelaar, die de parametrische parameters (oscillatiefrequentie, amplitude) instelt, en een ultrasone scalpel met verwisselbare hulpstukken. Afhankelijk van de kwaliteit, structuur en dichtheid van het botweefsel stelt de chirurg de frequentie in op 10-290000 Hz en de amplitude op 60-200 micron.

Toothache - one of the strongest discomfort, which can not tolerate not everyone and, as a rule, not for a long time. Tooth pain makes even the most ardent "opponent" of dentists to go to the hospital, even if for some time a person tries to cope with the situation with ordinary painkillers or folk remedies. Indeed, the pain can be completely eliminated only by removing its cause, and it is impossible to cure the tooth at home.

Can coronavirus cause toothache?

Reading time ~ 5 min Number of readings: 30312

In the fight against coronavirus, the body loses its defenses, which leads to an exacerbation of existing chronic diseases. Pathologic processes in the teeth or peri-dental tissues are no exception. The fact that the coronavirus causes toothache, periodontal disease, root cysts and granulomas, is a consequence of reduced immunity.

The president of the Angiogenesis Foundation, Cambridge, Massachusetts (an organization that studies angiogenesis) noted in an interview that SARS-CoV-2 binds to the ACE2 protein receptor, making it even more infectious. It affects not only lung tissue, but also nerve fibers, endothelium because of which the blood vessels of the gums suffer. Researchers from McGill University (Canada) say the same thing. [1]

Russian medics have confirmed that Covid-19 leads to complications of periodontal disease, even becomes the cause o…
