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

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…

Vaccination against covid-19 and dental treatment: are there contraindications?

In 2021, the coronavirus pandemic is still a major human problem. New strains appear, people continue to get sick. The state takes measures to protect citizens. One of these measures was universal vaccination against Covid-19.

The impact of the coronavirus on the systems and organs of the human body has not yet been fully studied. Scientists and medics, of course, put forward various theories, but it will take years of study to confirm them.

The same is true for the vaccine.

Our patients ask a lot of questions related to dental treatment during the pandemic: whether it is possible to come to the clinic with mild symptoms of acute respiratory viral infections, whether it is possible to start implantation after vaccination against covid-19, how the coronavirus will affect rehabilitation after dental surgeries, and much more.

In this article, with the help of an experienced implant surgeon of our clinic, Nesterenko Alexey Pav…

Čo sú to zubné náhrady bez štiepenia a prečo sa uprednostňujú?

Najbežnejším spôsobom náhrady chýbajúcich zubov je mostík. Až na to, že nosné zuby sa preň musia zbrúsiť. A predtým sa depulpujú (odstráni sa nerv). Sú tu 2 problémy:

Psychologické. Nie je ľahké rozhodnúť sa ísť k zubárovi a vyhliadka na odstránenie nervov a škrípanie zubami mnohých ľudí prinúti návštevu dlho odkladať.

Zubné lekárstvo. Lekári neradi odstraňujú zuby. Dôvodov je niekoľko. Dužina je plná nervových zakončení a krvných ciev. Vďaka nim je zub živý. Krv dodáva živiny a miazga na oplátku produkuje náhradný dentín. Z tohto dôvodu majú zuby schopnosť túto vrstvu pri poškodení opraviť. Nervové zakončenia signalizujú problém so zubom, takže napríklad zubný kaz možno diagnostikovať v jeho počiatočnom štádiu. Bez miazgy nie je zabezpečený prísun výživy a tkanivá sa neobnovujú. "Mŕtvy zub" sa stáva veľmi krehkým. Je ťažké odhaliť kaz...

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:

The need to pull it out with forceps or saw it into pieces with a milling machine for fragmentary removal causes unpleasant associations, becomes a reason to postpone going to the dentist.

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.

Equipment

Piezotome includes a block-regulator, which sets the parametric parameters (frequency of oscillation, amplitude), and ultrasonic scalpel with interchangeable attachments. Depending on the quality, structure, density of bone tissue, the surgeon sets the frequency in the range of 10-290000 Hz, amplitude 60-200 microns.

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…
