The advanced degree of gum disorders endangers not only the gums, but also the teeth. If periodontal diseases progress, the bone tissue and ligaments surrounding the teeth begin to be damaged. As a result, tooth loss may even occur. If this condition cannot be controlled with non-surgical periodontal treatments, it is necessary to resort to periodontal surgical procedures. The most commonly used periodontal surgical procedure is the periodontal flap operation.
Periodontal flap operation is a gum surgery performed in order to correct the pockets formed on the gums and ensure that the gums regain their old and healthy form. The gum pockets located under the gum line are the points where the gum tissue begins to separate from the tooth. The formation of gum pockets creates an area where harmful bacteria will grow and it is impossible to clean. The resulting bacteria can cause inflammation in the tissues, bleeding in the gums, tenderness and pain. If this problem is not treated, serious gum diseases, damage to the bone tissue that supports the tooth, and systematic health problems that can cause the entire body to be affected may come to the agenda.
For the treatment of gum pockets, first of all, dental calculus cleaning and root correction methods can be resorted to. These methods may not work from time to time, depending on the degree of the disease. In such cases, the flap operation may be on the agenda. Although the flap operation basically does not offer a permanent solution for periodontal diseases, it facilitates the maintenance of gum health.
The main purpose of the periodontal flap operation is to destroy or reduce the gum pockets as much as possible. An incision is made into the gum tissue in order to reach the pockets. Diseased tissues are removed through the incision and the tooth roots are exposed in order to perform a thorough cleaning. The formation of unwanted layers of tartar, plaque and the like is cleaned and the incision is closed.
A periodontal flap operation can be performed to restore periodontal ligaments and bone tissue that have been lost due to inflammation. In this context, different techniques such as bone grafting or chemicals that cause growth can be applied. For such procedures, a patient-specific suitability assessment is performed. These approaches allow the gums to return to their normal form and function, creating healthier and safer dental protection.
Although the periodontal flap operation is usually performed under local anesthesia, Oct may be given an anti-anxiety medication or a relaxing syrup orally in addition to local anesthesia if needed specifically for the patient. In addition, general anesthesia may also become an alternative if necessary. After the anesthesia takes effect, a small incision is made and the gum is separated from the tooth. The outer gum tissue is gently pushed back to provide access to the patient's tooth root, connective tissues and bone tissue.
The next stage of the periodontal flap operation is to clean the inflamed gum tissue. Diseased gum tissue is removed and the tooth root is cleaned. It is possible to apply antibiotic treatment to the area if deemed necessary. In cases where there is damage to the bone, graft material is used and the removal of the damage is studied. After the necessary treatments, the incision is closed and the periodontal flap operation is completed.
Periodontal flap treatment is usually completed with 6 stages. It is possible to list the stages of periodontal flap treatment as follows:
The period before and after the operation is of critical importance for optimal benefit from periodontal flap surgery. For this reason, care should be paid to the operation process as well as to the period before and after. Before and after periodontal flap surgery, it is important to fully comply with the points specified by the dentist in order to have a fast and healthy recovery process. Patients who follow the recommendations of the dentist can experience a comfortable recovery process after periodontal flap surgery and minimize the feeling of pain and discomfort.
Flap operation usually does not cause any noticeable side effects. However, as with all surgical procedures, periodontal flap surgery also has some risks. One of the things that should be done to minimize such risks is not to smoke after the operation. Smoking is the most important factor that triggers the re-occurrence of the disease treated by the periodontal flap operation.
After the periodontal flap operation, a cold compress should be applied to the wound surface for 20 minutes. It is necessary not to rinse the mouth and not to spit for the first 8 hours following the surgery. Gargling gently with salt water for a while may be recommended by the dentist. There should be no shower and bath with hot water for three days, intense physical exertion should not be spent.
In addition, it is important not to include solid foods in the nutrition program, and not to consume hot foods and drinks for a certain period of time. After periodontal flap surgery, attention should be paid to oral hygiene, and the oral and dental care routine should not be disrupted. But in this process, you should be gentle, the teeth should be brushed with a soft bristled toothbrush without damaging the gums in any way. In order to experience a fast and healthy healing process, it should be used regularly with all the medications prescribed by the dentist, routine dental examinations should not be neglected.
If general anesthesia is to be performed before the periodontal flap operation, food and beverage consumption should be stopped at least 12 hours before the operation. Thus, nausea and dizziness can be prevented after the anesthesia effect has passed. During the few days after the periodontal flap operation, swelling, slight redness and tenderness of the gums may be observed. As this is a normal situation, the use of simple painkillers prescribed by the dentist can help improve the patient's comfort.
Sensitivity to heat and cold may develop in the teeth on which the procedure is performed. The side effects that may occur after flap surgery usually disappear on their own within 1 to 2 weeks after the operation. Who performs the operation without delay in case of unexpected redness, bleeding, severe pain is felt. It is necessary to consult a dentist.
The recovery process after periodontal flap surgery may vary depending on various factors in the individual patient. However, although periodontal flap surgery is a simple and short-term procedure, it is a surgical procedure and patients should rest for at least 1 day after the operation.
Periodontal flap operation prices may vary for each patient depending on the number of teeth to be applied, how advanced the inflammation is, and the structure of the teeth and gums. For this reason, it is not possible to mention the price of a standard periodontal flap operation. After the patient is examined in detail by the dentist and their needs and the details of the procedure are planned, the prices of the periodontal flap operation are determined.
Although having white and straight teeth are the most important elements of an attractive smile, the fact that Decapitations and lips are part of this look should not be overlooked. The most noticeable part of the face during talking and smiling are the teeth. The fact that the teeth are well-groomed, rotten, colored and/or stained may cause aesthetic concerns and lack of self-confidence. However, dental restoration is not always enough to achieve a more aesthetic appearance during talking and laughing. Because the appearance of the gums is also extremely important. For this reason, in some patients, it may be necessary to eliminate gum irregularities in order to achieve a more aesthetic appearance. Pink dental aesthetics comes into play at this stage.
Pink aesthetics or pink dental aesthetics is an aesthetic dentistry procedure performed in order to have gums that are both healthy and compatible with the teeth, thereby giving an aesthetic smile. When defining dental aesthetics, elements such as the health of the gums, their color and their level with the teeth are taken into account.
Healthy gums have a light pink color. It should look lumpy and shiny, like orange peel, and the gums should be firmly attached to the bone and tooth. The procedures to be performed within the scope of pink aesthetics are determined according to the specific needs of the patient. In this way, the opportunity to achieve a perfect smile is offered.
Pink aesthetics is applied to ensure that the imaginary line passing through the gums at the peaks of the two teeth positioned in the front and middle gently touches the lip during a smile. The purpose of the pink dental aesthetics procedure is to ensure that the teeth and gums are in a certain shape.
In some cases, the problem may be not only in the gums, but also in the arrangement of the teeth. In such patients, it is first the correction of the gums, then the completion of the tooth alignment. Gingivoplasty or gum aesthetics procedure is planned by taking into account the structure of the patient's gums after a patient-specific examination.
Within the scope of pink tooth aesthetics, different methods such as regenerative, gingivoplasty, gingivectomy and crown length extension can be applied. Pink aesthetics, which is one of the minor surgical procedures, is performed under local anesthesia. Dec. In this way, the patient does not feel pain or pain.
As part of the pink aesthetic procedure, gums that overflow too much towards the teeth are shortened, or they can be made effective in cases where they are too far from the gums on the teeth.
Thanks to the pink aesthetic, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of tooth loss. The tooth lengths are made regular. Bringing the gums and tooth length to the ideal size can provide a more aesthetic appearance. In addition, the prevention of Decongestations of gingivitis can be listed among the advantages of pink aesthetics.
Within the scope of pink aesthetics, different techniques are used for different problems. The techniques applied within the scope of pink aesthetics can be listed as follows:
In order for the smile design to provide a harmonious appearance, the teeth, gums, lips and jaw should be considered as a whole. Each of these elements should be evaluated with their current appearance and it should be aimed to achieve an aesthetic appearance by combining them Decently. For this reason, pink dental aesthetics plays at least as critical a role as dental aesthetics in the smile design process. Since the unhealthy appearance of the gums can cause the teeth to look far from aesthetics, it is necessary to resort to the necessary treatment methods.
The teeth of each individual have certain forms. There are some shapes associated with the gum at the points where the gums and teeth meet. The peculiarity of these shapes is that the teeth form the bottom lines. Asymmetry in the lines in question, misalignment, collapsed or worn image may cause an aesthetically bad appearance.
However, the aesthetic intervention performed has nothing to do with teeth. By applying pink aesthetics to the gums, problems that distort the appearance can be eliminated, and a significant improvement in the appearance of the gums can be achieved.
Some cases that require the application of pink aesthetics are listed below:
The recovery time in the treatment of pink aesthetics may vary depending on the procedure performed on each patient. However, after pink aesthetic treatment, recovery usually occurs within 7 to 10 days. In order to experience a fast and healthy healing process, the dentist's recommendations should be fully followed.
After the pink aesthetic treatment applied to improve the appearance and function of the gums, there are some points that need to be considered in order to speed up the healing process and provide optimal benefit from the procedure.
After pink aesthetic treatment, teeth should be brushed regularly and flossing should be used to prevent the occurrence of gingivitis and support the healing process. In this process, a soft bristle toothbrush recommended by the dentist and fluoride toothpaste should be preferred. Teeth should be gently brushed at least twice a day, flossing should be used at least once a day to remove plaque and bacteria between the teeth that cannot be reached with a toothbrush. Decongestant teeth should be cleaned at least twice a day. The use of antiseptic mouthwash in this process may be recommended by the dentist.
In order not to put excessive pressure on the gums, it should be preferred to consume soft and nutritious foods. Acidic and spicy foods should be avoided due to the risk of irritating the gums and delaying the healing process. In addition, plenty of water should be consumed.
Smoking should be stopped, as it can trigger Decongestion and other gum diseases. In the same way, alcohol consumption should be limited or completely stopped to prevent irritation of the gums. In addition, the medications prescribed by the dentist should be used regularly. October 19, 2019. Routine dental check-ups should not be disrupted in terms of monitoring the healing process.
Pink aesthetic treatment prices may vary depending on the scope of the procedure performed on a patient-specific basis, the materials used, the dentist's expertise and the pricing policy of the clinic where pink aesthetic treatment will be applied. In addition, the number of procedures to be performed and how complex they are are also elements that are evaluated when determining the prices of pink aesthetic treatment. For this reason, after the patient has been examined by the dentist and the scope of treatment has been planned, it is possible to have accurate and accurate information about the prices of pink aesthetic treatment.
Although filling is one of the commonly performed dental procedures, it may cause patients to experience cosmetic concerns about the results to be achieved. These fears are often caused by their experience with older forms of dental filler, such as silver amalgam. Composite resin, also called white filling, is considered a new restoration alternative that benefits by imitating the natural appearance of teeth. They are an effective method to restore the full function of teeth to patients, as well as have no noticeable effect on the overall appearance.
The types of fillings may vary depending on the material used to fill the damaged tooth. Metal amalgam fillings and composite fillings obtained by a combination of silver and metal alloys are two common types of dental fillings. Composite fillings are obtained from a mixture of hard, plastic materials that owe their resemblance to natural teeth to their easy coloring. Composite filler is an increasingly frequently used alternative to silver amalgam due to its natural appearance and more affordable price.
Composite filling treatment can be used to repair tooth structure that deteriorates due to caries, fractures, cracks or similar conditions. The dental procedure performed by using composite fillers to fill gaps in the teeth, change the shape of the teeth, optimally treat December and fractures in the teeth is called “bonding”. Composite bonding treatment provides a natural appearance thanks to the use of materials suitable for the patient's existing tooth color and structure.
The patient to whom composite filling treatment will be applied is subjected to a detailed oral and dental examination. Tooth losses and the shape of the tooth are evaluated. It is determined whether composite filling treatment is the right method for the problem to be treated. In cases where there is a caries on the tooth to be filled with composite, the caries should be cleaned first. Although composite filling is usually a dental procedure performed under local anesthesia, anesthesia may not be required for superficial applications. After some cleaning and retouching procedures are performed, the tooth is prepared for composite treatment. After these procedures, the composite filler is placed and the procedure is completed. During treatment, it is important to place the filler to match the natural structure of the teeth in order to ensure the functionality of the filler and the comfort of the patient.
Composite filling comes to the fore as an extremely effective dental procedure at the point of eliminating aesthetic concerns. Since the procedure time is short, composite filling treatment can be applied to multiple teeth within one day. One of the most important differences between composite Decals and amalgam fillings is that composite decals can be applied to both front and back teeth. During the application, it can be worked with filling materials suitable for the person's natural tooth color. In this way, a natural and aesthetic appearance can be achieved.
The composite filling combines seamlessly with the treated tooth thanks to its chemical structure. Although there is a risk of caries development in the areas where amalgam fillings join, this is not the case with composite fillings. Composite fillings support dental fillings by connecting to the tooth in the best way. Besides all these, it can prevent tooth breakage and temperature sensitivity transmission.
Composite filling is a dental procedure that can be applied to people who need filling treatment. Composite filling treatment can be applied in order to eliminate deformations that occur due to various causes in the tooth structure. In addition, composite filling treatment can also be used within the scope of the smile design procedure for people who want to have a more aesthetic dental appearance.
Some of the conditions that require composite filling treatment are listed below:
In addition, composite filling treatment can also be applied in cases where it is desired to make changes to the current tooth appearance or as a more aesthetic alternative to other types of fillings.
The life of the composite filling may vary depending on the patient depending on various factors. Factors such as the quality of the filling, how much filling is done, how much attention is paid to the oral and dental care routine, whether regular check-ups are made to the dentist have a direct impact on the life of the composite filling.
If good care is applied and due attention is paid to oral hygiene, the life of the composite filling is on average 10 to 15 years. The life of the composite filling may be shortened depending on teeth grinding, teeth clenching, nail biting or different problems.
Composite fillings are among the popular dentistry procedures due to their role in the process of repairing damage caused by dental caries and Decays. Composite filling is often preferred for filling cavities in both front and back teeth due to its similarity to the natural color of the tooth. Also, it does not contain mercury.
During the composite filling treatment, much fewer teeth are removed than amalgam fillings. Obtaining an extremely strong tooth after it is glued to the natural tooth once is one of the most important advantages of composite filling treatment. Hardening of composite fillings placed layer by layer on the tooth with special light reduces the time required for the hardening of the binding agent. The filling, which is usually completely cured, hardens in less than a minute.
Since the composite filling is compatible with the tooth color, it provides an extremely aesthetic appearance. Since the expansion and contraction coefficients are also extremely close to the natural tooth, composite fillings are advantageous in preventing the formation of secondary caries. Patients can eat and drink after composite filling treatment without the need for waiting time.
Composite filling does not cause any damage to the teeth and gums both during the treatment process and after. After composite filling treatment, a temporary sensitivity to heat and cold may occur in the teeth. This condition disappears when the tooth gets used to the filling.
After composite filling treatment, color changes may occur due to excessive consumption of tea, coffee, cola, red wine, cigarettes and other foods and beverages that cause staining and discoloration of the teeth. Routine oral and dental care and dental examination should not be disrupted in order for the results provided by the treatment to be permanent.
If the composite filling treatment was performed by applying local anesthesia to the patient, anything should not be eaten or drunk before the full effect of the anesthesia has passed. It is possible to develop sensitivity to heat or cold in the teeth after composite filling. When the tooth gets used to the filling, this sensitivity disappears on its own. In the same way, there may be pain during chewing after composite filling treatment. With the healing of the tooth, the pain decreases, and after a certain period of time, the pain disappears completely. It is very important to fully comply with the dentist's recommendations for post-treatment in order to ensure patient comfort in the post-treatment process.
It is very important that oral and dental care is performed completely after composite filling treatment, and routine dentist visits are not disrupted. In this way, it may be possible to protect both general oral and dental health and to extend the service life of composite fillings. If the patient does not pay due attention to oral hygiene, there is a risk of recurrent caries developing under the composite filling over time and the filling failing.
Gingivinctomy, a surgical procedure often used in dentistry, is the process of surgical removal of gum tissue. Gingivectomy can be performed for different reasons, such as treating various gum problems, especially correcting the gum line or adjusting the length of the teeth. Gingivectomy procedure can be applied to provide better access to the root surface of the tooth or for aesthetic concerns. Gingivectomy, which is usually performed under local anesthesia, is a comfortable and practical method.
Gingivectomy is a dental procedure that should be performed by specialist dentists. The gingivectomy procedure is planned and performed in accordance with the patient's needs and general health condition. Thus, it is possible for patients to achieve a healthy gum structure and achieve aesthetically satisfactory results.
Some of the cases in which gingivectomy, a surgical intervention for various dental and gum problems, is performed, are listed below:
The cases in which gingivectomy cannot be performed are as follows:
Gingivectomy is a dental procedure in which gum tissue is surgically removed. Gingivectomy can be performed to correct gum problems and provide smile aesthetics. There are different types of gingivectomy, such as superficial gingivectomy, extender gingivectomy and protective gingivectomy. Superficial gingivectomy is performed to correct the gum line. In order for there to be excess gum tissue on the teeth or for the teeth to look longer, an extender gingivectomy may be performed. Preventive gingivectomy is a type of gingivectomy performed in case of withdrawal of gum tissue or exposure of tooth roots for reasons such as periodontal diseases. Which method will be applied is determined by the dentist specifically for the patient.
Before the procedure, the patient's general health condition is evaluated and local anesthesia is performed. In this way, the patient does not feel pain or soreness during the application. Marking is performed on the gum line and excess gum tissue is removed. Bleeding control is provided thanks to the stitches applied later. With the completion of the procedure, the healing process begins. In order for the healing process to progress quickly and healthily, it is necessary to follow the recommendations of the dentist and regular check-ups should not be neglected.
Gingivectomy, a surgical procedure performed for various gum problems, brings with it many benefits.
As with all surgical procedures, the gingivectomy procedure also has some risks and harms. Some of them can be listed as follows:
Gingivectomy is a comfortable and practical procedure that does not cause pain and soreness. Recovery occurs on average within 3 to 4 weeks after application. Since gingivectomy is a surgical procedure, the gums are closed with the help of a bandage after the procedure. The bandage is removed by the dentist after standing in the mouth for 10 days. After an average period of 4 weeks, the gums and teeth regain a normal appearance. In this way, a healthier and more aesthetic appearance can be achieved.
There are some critical elements that need to be taken into account in order to have a healthy and fast recovery process after gingivectomy operation. Some of these elements can be listed as follows:
The common feature of gingivectomy and gingivoplasty is that both are surgical procedures performed to improve gum health. Although both treatments are performed by a dentist, the procedure of the treatments is different from each other.
Gingivectomy is performed to remove and reshape diseased gum tissue. In cases where there is an excess of gums, similar procedures are followed and the excess can be eliminated.
Gingivoplasty procedure, on the other hand, allows improving the appearance of the gums without any tissue removal process. Gingivoplasty is considered to be an ideal method that can be applied to correct the contours of the gums.
Gingivectomy prices may vary depending on factors such as how much gum needs to be corrected, the technique to be applied, the number of teeth to be processed, the dentist's expertise and the pricing policy of the clinic where the application will be performed.
Transparent devices applied to the lower or upper jaw depending on the complaints of patients are called night guards. Night guard treatment is often resorted to to relieve temporomandibular disorders. Since night guards are mostly the subject of short-term use, they do not lead to permanent changes in the patient's teeth or jaw structure.
Night guard is basically an apparatus used to relieve ailments caused by habits such as teeth clenching and teeth grinding. Depending on habits such as clenching and grinding teeth, problems such as headache, jaw pain and tooth wear may occur.
The most common causes of teeth clenching and grinding problems include stress, fatigue, sleep apnea, abnormalities in tooth and jaw structure and side effects of certain medications. Using plaque at night can prevent tooth wear and pain formation by protecting the teeth.
In addition to such situations, the use of night guard may be on the agenda after some dental procedures. If a person feels pain in the jaw and neck area after waking up from sleep, if he experiences problems such as tooth sensitivity, sleep disorders and shoulder pain, the use of night guard can be benefited. Using plaque at night supports the healing process of teeth and jaw structure, it can reduce the possible pain experienced after treatment.
Using a night guard at night is an element that helps prevent further damage to the teeth. It may be possible to eliminate disorders in the jaw through the use of a jaw plate. The jaw muscles can be strengthened over time by using night guard produced specifically for the patient. After treatment, when the teeth are tightened, it is possible to observe that the jaw muscles are not as large and stiff as.
A night guard is an apparatus that prevents unwanted movements that occur in the jaw as a result of clenching or grinding teeth during sleep from causing any damage to the teeth. It is often encountered to use night guard to prevent the occurrence of wear and sliding on the teeth. Unfortunately, many people do not realize how serious a problem teeth clenching and grinding are. As a result, problems such as tooth fracture or tooth enamel loss are often observed in the long term.
The use of night guard is often preferred in cases such as tooth tightening, teeth grinding, jaw shifting, teeth grinding and the presence of incorrect tooth alignment. Often, the patient may see that the pain in the head and jaw area begins to decrease a few days after starting using the night plate. Because when you start using the plaque at night, tooth clenching and grinding problems caused by stress and various problems in daily life can disappear.
The decision to use night guard is made by the dentist after the examination. The dentist listens to the problems experienced by the patient, plans the treatment according to the needs of the patient. Then, he takes the measurements of the patient's teeth and jaw and removes the molds using these measurements. Thanks to the design of the night guard in accordance with the patterns, the treatment of night guard can be successful.
The night plate can be started to be used immediately after preparation, depending on the measurements taken from the patient. The duration of use is one of the points that need to be paid the most attention during the treatment process. At the point of use of night guard, the dentist's recommendations should definitely be followed.
Performing the cleaning of the night guard sensitively is very important for long-term and healthy use. To ensure this, it is necessary to make night guard cleaning a part of the oral and dental care routine. The use of hot water should be avoided when cleaning the plaque at night. If this point is not paid attention to, the plastic of the night guard may soften.
In addition, it is necessary to wash the plaque at night after each use. Performing the cleaning process only gently and with the help of water and a soft-bristled toothbrush prevents any wear on the plaque at night. The cleaned night guard should be dried in a non-humid environment. When the night guard is cleaned regularly, the residues that accumulate on the night guard during sleep can be removed.
Night guards, which are transparent devices prepared by dentists specifically for each patient, help prevent tooth wear and pain caused by problems such as tooth clenching and grinding.
Wear on the jaw muscles and teeth may occur due to clenching and grinding of the teeth. Nov. Night guard play a critical role in preventing this problem. Since the night guard also performs the task of a mouth guard, its use is often preferred. The protection of teeth can be ensured by placing transparent night guard prepared according to the measurements taken from the patients into the mouth.
November night guard can be used to prevent advanced damage to the teeth, reduce tension in the chewing muscles, ensure adequate blood supply to the tissues and eliminate temporomandibular joint complaints.
Night guard helps to improve the quality of life of people with bruxism problems. Many people from different age groups unconsciously clench and grind their teeth during sleep. Due to this habit, wear on the teeth, fractures and pain in the jaw may occur. Thanks to night guard, grinding of teeth, contact with each other and damage to teeth can be prevented accordingly.
Depending on the bruxism problem, pressure may Novate in the jaw muscles and jaw joints. As a result, headaches, facial pain and jaw pain may be experienced. Using a night guard can reduce or eliminate such pain.
The use of night guard is often encountered in the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder. The night plate protects and relaxes the jaw joints. In this way, it contributes to the relief of TMJ symptoms.
People who experience sleep disorders due to teeth clenching and grinding may notice an increase in their sleep quality when they start using plaque at night. In addition, fracture and abrasion of teeth are prevented in people who use plaque at night. In this way, it can be ensured that the teeth last longer and are healthy.
The patient who will be treated for night guard is examined and measurements are taken. According to the measurements taken, a personalized night guard is prepared. Another issue that is as important as applying the night guard with the right measurements is its correct use.
The decision to apply night guard is made by the dentist on a patient-by-patient basis. In this context, the dentist examines the patient. It evaluates the current condition of the teeth and whether they are suitable for night guard treatment.
If the patient is found suitable for night guard treatment, a special mold is taken from the teeth to obtain a measure that will exactly match the patient's teeth. After the preparation of the mold, the material to be used in the production of night plates is selected and poured into the mold.
The mold is placed in the patient's mouth so that it fits exactly to the teeth. The material of the night guard inside the mold, which fits exactly into the mouth, is hardened by the dentist. The fully hardened night plate is delivered to the patient. The patient is informed in detail about how the use process will be.
When the patient uses the night plate, he should make sure that the plate fits exactly in his mouth and care should be taken not to squeeze his teeth. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the night plate during the period of continued use should not be neglected.
Three different types of night guards can be listed as follows:
Night guard should be placed on the teeth and started to be used in the evening after eating and drinking is completed and the teeth are brushed. If the patient continues to clench his teeth while awake, the dentist may also recommend using night guard during daylight hours. In patients with bruxism problems, the habit of tooth tightening usually increases under intense stress. In such cases, the use of night guard during the day may be beneficial.
Using a record at night will not cause any harm. However, it is necessary to follow the dentist's recommendations on how long to use the night guard. In order to benefit from night guard treatment, the patient should provide regular use for the recommended period of time. If night guard causes any problems in the mouth, the dentist should be contacted immediately. In this way, it may be possible to ensure both the comfort of the patient and the success of the treatment.
The duration of use of the night plate varies depending on the patient, as mentioned earlier. This period usually varies from 6 months to 3 years, but it is determined depending on the degree of tooth tightening and grinding problem, the type of night Decal used, its quality and other similar factors.
The most important point to be considered during the use of night guard is the removal of night guard, especially when consuming hot food and drinks. The night guard has a transparent structure. For this reason, it does not cause aesthetic concerns during use, and it can also be used comfortably during the day.
The fact that night Decals have a delicate structure should not be overlooked. If it comes into direct contact with food residues or fat deposits, there is a risk that night guard will deform within a short period of time. It is also extremely important that night guard cleaning is done regularly. It may be preferable to use soap and toothpaste during the cleaning phase. Soap or toothpaste is applied with soft bristled toothbrushes, and plaque can be cleaned delicately at night.
In cases where there is a need to replace the night guard due to various reasons, the dentist should take a re-measurement from the patient and prepare new dental plaques according to these measurements. In cases where the night guard no longer fits the patient's dental structure, its color fades, wounds form in the patient's mouth due to the use of night guard, tears, holes or cracks occur in the night guard, it becomes necessary to replace the night guard.
Patients may stop using night guard under normal conditions with the disappearance of the tooth tightening or grinding problem. However, the decision to stop using night guard is made by the dentist after the patient has been examined. Clenching and grinding of teeth negatively affect oral and dental health, and people experiencing such problems should contact a dentist without wasting time.
The night guard is specially designed for the patient to prevent tooth clenching and grinding problems. Due to the custom-made production, the night guard can be in different sizes. For this reason, it is necessary to contact the dentist to use a night guard and use a night guard prepared according to the measurements taken by the dentist.
Night guard prices may vary depending on patient-specific factors such as the measurements of the tooth and jaw structure, the material used in night guard production and the quality of this material. In addition, the expertise, experience of the dentist who performs the night guard application and the clinic's pricing policy can be listed among the elements that have an impact on night guard prices.
Endodontic surgery is also called apical resection or root tip surgery. Inside the tooth, there is a cavity called the pulp chamber. Inside this cavity is the pulp, a living tissue that keeps the tooth alive, such as nerves, blood tissues, and connective tissues. Endodontic treatment is popularly known as root canal treatment and is applied in case of inflammation or infection of the Decal. It usually comes up in the case of deep caries, repeated dental procedures such as replacing a large filling in the tooth, or traumatic damage such as cracks and fractures. Dying of the pulp can cause the pulp chamber and ducts to become infected. The resulting infection can spread to the surrounding bone and other tissues at the root tip.
A hole is drilled into the tooth for root canal treatment. As part of the root canal treatment, the dental pulp is removed and the tooth is filled with a biocompatible material, gutta-percha. Thus, the infected tissue inside the tooth is treated. Although the procedure is usually successful, there is a risk that infected bees will remain in the dental canals and infections will occur in the following periods. Apical resection, that is, endodontic surgical treatment, is on the agenda at this stage.
Apicoectomy, also called root tip resection, is an endodontic surgical procedure that is typically performed after a root canal procedure has failed. Within the scope of the procedure known as endodontic surgery, root tip surgery, apicoectomy, root tip filling or retrograde root canal treatment, the root tip is removed, the root tip cavity is created and filled with a special root tip filling material.
Before starting endodontic surgery treatment, local anesthesia is applied to the target area and numbness effect is expected to be achieved. Infected peri-apical tissues can be accessed directly by making a small incision through the gum tissues at the affected root level. After removing the last few millimeters of the root tip with infected tissue near or around the root tip, a small filling is placed at the end of the root canal to prevent further infection, and the canal is closed. With the help of small stitches, the gum tissues are closed. Bone grafting and various techniques are used to stimulate the growth of bone, especially if the infection has caused a significant gap.
In cases where apical resection is not appropriate, periradicular surgery can be performed. Unlike in a procedure similar to apical resection, a wider fler must be removed to access the infected tissue at the root tip and the surrounding bone. Endodontic surgical procedures can also be resorted to for the removal of cysts and granulomas formed at the root tip.
In cases where calcium deposits make it difficult to use tools to perform a root canal, endodontic surgery may be resorted to to remove calcium deposits. In this context, the area is cleaned, then the canal is closed and the tooth is saved.
In addition, if the patient experiences constant pain but what causes the pain cannot be detected on the X-ray, the use of endodontic surgical procedure may be on the agenda. There may be small fractures in the tooth or canal that cannot be displayed on an X-ray. Endodontists may make small incisions to examine the tooth in detail. After the detection of the problem, the necessary treatment is planned specifically for the patient.
Endodontic surgery can be performed on children and adults to save at-risk teeth and prevent any complications from occurring. When the tooth becomes infected again after root canal treatment, it is usual to feel pain, swelling or tenderness in the gums. However, in some cases, it may also be that there are no symptoms.
As part of endodontic surgery, the root tip and infected tissue, called the “apex”, are removed to completely eliminate the infection and ensure that the tooth returns to a healthy state. The root tip is where the nerves and blood vessels enter the tooth, then pass through the channels and reach the pulp chamber. When the root tip is removed, the infected tissue at the source of the problem is eliminated and infected tissue is prevented from remaining in the tooth.
If the infection in the root of the tooth is not treated, very serious oral and dental health problems may occur. In order to treat a tooth root infection, the problem is first identified, antibiotic therapy is applied. If the inflammation progresses, the antibiotic is injected directly into the infected tissues. After the infection is stopped, the tooth root is cleaned and the treatment is completed.
If the inflammation is very advanced and there is no damage to the dental canals, canal treatment may be on the agenda. In later cases, if the canals are too damaged to be corrected, tooth extraction may be required.
It is possible to list some of the conditions that require endodontic surgery as follows:
It is considered normal for patients to feel some pain after endodontic surgery. Using medications prescribed by the dentist to control pain and improve the patient's comfort may be beneficial. Slight blood leaks may be experienced in the early period after the endodontic surgical procedure. During this process, patients should not spit, smoke and use straws. Otherwise, the blood clot, which is necessary and protective for the healing of the surgical site, leaves its place, and the healing process may be negatively affected.
It is possible to feel swelling for the first few days after the endodontic surgical procedure. Possible swelling usually goes away on its own without any intervention within 1 week. It is recommended to apply an ice compress for the first 12 hours after endodontic surgery. In order to prevent irritation of the operation area, hard and crunchy foods should not be included in the nutrition program for several days. Usually, a few days after endodontic surgery, patients can resume their daily routines.
After the endodontic surgical procedure, the tampon applied by the dentist should be kept in place for about half an hour. Thus, it is possible to prevent bleeding. It is necessary not to eat or drink anything for the first 2 hours after the application. During the healing process, it is important to avoid hard and hot foods and drinks, consume warm and soft foods and drinks. In addition, it is necessary to be careful not to eat before the effect of anesthesia has completely passed. Another important issue in terms of the healing process is that oral hygiene should not be neglected.
Endodontic surgery is considered as a dental procedure that should be performed by specialists and experienced doctors in the field. Because endodontic surgery is performed under local anesthesia, the patient does not feel pain or soreness during the application. During the healing process following the application, it may be possible to experience a fast and healthy healing process thanks to the use of medications prescribed by the dentist and the implementation of his recommendations.
Endodontic surgery prices may vary depending on the type of surgical procedure to be performed, the location of the tooth to be treated, the degree of infection, the quality of the materials used, the dentist's expertise and the clinic's pricing policy.
Habits such as clenching or grinding teeth are usually caused by stress and can lead to jaw joint disorders. Changes to the structure of the jaw joint may occur as a result of a person clenching or grinding their teeth during sleep at night. Chewing muscles may get tired and tissues in the area may be damaged.
Due to joint problems, pains may be experienced on the side of the head, in the temples, inside and in front of the ears, on the cheeks, even in the area extending to the neck and back. In addition, problems such as mouth opening restriction, jaw locking and sound coming from the joint during chewing may occur.
In order to treat these ailments and increase the comfort of the patient's life, special intraoral devices, in other words, splints, are used in accordance with the course of joint disorders that may vary depending on the patient. The patient's response to treatment is evaluated with routine controls. Although splint and night record are confused by many people, they are not the same.
A joint splint is an intraoral device used to relax muscles during the treatment of joint disorders, reduce the pressure on the joint disc and help the temporomandibular joint tissues to Novembrane themselves. The joint splint, which is a transparent apparatus that can be easily inserted and Decoupled and stands between the teeth, can be applied to both the lower and upper jaw. It helps to eliminate tooth clenching and grinding problems, which are one of the most important causes of joint disorders.
When the joint splint first starts to be used, patients may have difficulty speaking for a while and there may be an increase in saliva flow. Over time, the patient gets used to the joint splint and such problems disappear.
The temporomandibular joint, located on the right and left above the lower jaw bone, has an extremely complicated structure. Both articular heads are connected to the lower jaw. Therefore, in the movements or functional changes of the lower jaw, the joints October each other. Both joints should be healthy to prevent such undesirable situations.
Especially teeth clenching, teeth grinding and early contacts that occur during the mutual closing of the teeth can create a level of force that will damage the joint structures. In such cases, precautions should be taken before any damage to the joint structures occurs. Although it is not possible to bring the joint tissues to a completely healthy state with the treatment of joint disorders, with early diagnosis and treatment, a decrease in the symptoms and signs of patients can be achieved, accordingly, the progression of the problem can be prevented.
In people who have temporomandibular joint problems, there may be a sound during mouth opening and closing, slight pain or mouth restriction may occur. If joint disorders progress, friction of the bones on the joint surfaces can cause very severe pain, inability to close the mouth after opening, mouth opening restriction, head, neck and ear pain.
It is possible to experience tooth clenching and grinding problems caused by stress, disorders in the teeth, posture disorders, jaw closing disorders and jaw joint disorders due to the habit of constantly chewing with one side. Such problems are caused by the loss of harmony between the disc in the joint and the Decussation of the jaw joint.
Some situations that require the use of joint splints can be listed as follows:
Factors such as Decoctions in the teeth, tooth losses experienced at an early age and irregular shifts in the teeth due to this, as well as incompatibilities between the jaws, can negatively affect the ideal jaw closure. It may be the case that sliding begins at the jaw closure and this turns into a habit.
Joint splint, on the other hand, eliminates the tight contact of the teeth with each other, allowing the lower jaw to move freely and comfortably. When the muscles connected to it by the lower jaw perform their function correctly, the jaw joint can be replaced correctly, Novo Novo pain and diseases related to the muscles and joints can be eliminated. With the usual closure, the joint settles into the correct position.
If a joint splint is used, jaw and dental disorders that cause joint discomfort are masked, and the disorder caused by the jaw or teeth can be temporarily corrected. This condition is considered to be the first step towards treating the discomfort in the jaw joint.
Joint splints should be used for 24 hours if necessary. In this way, joint problems that cause deterioration of a person's quality of life can be reduced. Thanks to the reduction of problems in the jaw joint and the restoration of the actual function of the joint, it is possible to identify the cause of the existing problem much more easily. Later, the treatment process can be started, which will completely correct the problem in the jaw and teeth.
The temporomandibular joint is located on both sides of the head and in front of the ears, connecting the jawbone to the skull. The temporomandibular joint can move back and forth and sideways on its own. It plays a critical role in swallowing, speech and chewing functions. There are bones, musculoskeletal November and other tissues around it. In the presence of jaw joint diseases, pain and tenderness may be experienced in the ear, jaw, jaw joint, jaw facial November muscles and their surroundings.
Joint splinting method can be used to treat abrasions that occur on the teeth, pains felt during chewing, tooth clenching or grinding problems. The success of treatment depends on its planning according to individual needs. At the first stage, a detailed examination is performed by the dentist. If deemed necessary, X-rays and other imaging methods may be used.
The joint splint, which is an apparatus usually attached to the upper teeth, comes into contact with the lower teeth. It helps to relax the jaw muscles and relieve temporomandib November joint problems by maintaining the correct position of the jaw. Joint splints can be used both day and night. In order for the treatment to be successful, the patient should pay attention to making a use in accordance with the dentist's recommendations.
The first step before the joint plaque treatment is applied is to take the patient's measurements. The splint prepared according to the measurements taken is inserted, and the joint splint is re-prepared in case of a change in the joints. How soon the joint plaque treatment will be completed may vary depending on the type, degree of joint disease and how the patient responds to the treatment. According to the planning made by the dentist, the joint plaque can be used only at certain times during the day or all day. The patient is checked regularly to follow the development process experienced depending on the treatment. Treatment is continued by making the necessary updates.
Joint plaque treatment can help reduce stress on the jaw joint and relieve pain. The relaxation of the jaw muscles also reduces the symptoms. Nov. The patient's jaw movements are controlled with a joint splint and the jaw position is corrected. With the ability to hold the jaw in the correct position, the patient's sleeping comfort is increased.
The sound coming from the jaw joint, experiencing pain in the head and neck area, jaw locking, tooth wear, jaw contraction, facial fatigue, restriction of jaw movements, a feeling of pain and pressure in the ear, Decaying of teeth, a biting sensation as if there was a mismatch between the lower and upper jaw can be listed as the most common problems in jaw joint disorders. These problems cause jaw pain, as well as acting alone or together, which can lead to the jaw closing in the wrong position for very long periods of time.
Joint splints have an extremely important place in the field of dentistry. However, decisions regarding which patients the joint splint will be used in are made on a patient-specific basis after the examination and detailed analysis. After the diagnosis, joint splint treatment is applied if deemed necessary. In cases such as tooth tightening, teeth grinding, problems with the jaw muscles, incorrect tooth alignment, jaw November and disc displacement, joint splinting may be preferred.
Although it is possible to use joint splint for aesthetic concerns such as removing gaps between teeth, the main purpose of joint splint use is to protect teeth, prevent possible Decays in jaw structure and restore jaw function, especially in patients suffering from bruxism problems caused by stress.
Joint splint is an apparatus specially produced for a person. Joint splint prices may vary depending on the type of splint, the material used in splint production, the scope of treatment to be applied, the dentist's specialty, the pricing policy of the clinic where the treatment will be applied, and many other different factors. Therefore, there is no standard joint splint price. Joint splint prices can be determined after the patient-specific examination and treatment planning processes.
Tooth clenching, in other words, bruxism, is a condition that occurs during sleep or while awake and usually occurs due to stress. Tooth tightening, which can be seen in every person, is extremely harmful from the point of view of dental health.
Bruxism, also known as tooth clenching or teeth grinding, is characterized by a person clenching, grinding, or rubbing their teeth together. People with bruxism problems may also experience problems such as clenching or grinding their teeth while awake.
People who clench or grind their teeth during sleep have a risk of developing sleep disorders such as snoring and pausing breathing, in other words, sleep apnea. Although mild cases of bruxism can improve without the need for any treatment, some people may experience severe cases of bruxism, which can cause jaw disorders, headaches, damage to teeth and many other problems.
It is usually not possible for a person to realize that he has a bruxism problem until some symptoms appear. Therefore, it is important to know the signs of bruxism and not to neglect dental care.
Although there is no known exact cause of tooth clenching or grinding, it is possible to mention some of the findings that cause tooth clenching. The most common causes of tooth clenching can be listed as follows:
Tooth tightening while sleeping or awake is a problem that can be seen in any age group. However, tooth clenching during sleep is more common in children and teenagers. The nocturnal tooth tightening condition seen in the early period mostly ends during adulthood or with the emergence of permanent teeth.
It is important for people who have tooth tightening and grinding problems to contact a dentist and act in accordance with his recommendations. The treatment plan to be applied is determined on a patient-specific basis according to the damage to the teeth. The treatments to be applied for the purpose of tooth tightening treatment can be listed as follows:
Tooth tightening is a problem that can be seen with different symptoms in each age group. It is possible to list the symptoms that are often seen in people who have involuntary tooth tightening problems as follows:
The tooth clenching problem that occurs during a person's sleep is called “sleep bruxism”, and the tooth clenching problem that occurs when a person is awake is called “awake bruxism”.
The diagnosis of tooth tightening can be made by a comprehensive physical examination performed by a dentist. At this stage, the appearance of worn tooth enamel, enlarged jaw muscles, broken and chipped teeth in the patient may be the elements that guide the diagnosis. Nov. On the other hand, the cause of the abrasions observed on the teeth may also be the corrosive substances in the toothpastes, excessive and uncontrolled brushing of the teeth, acidic, alcoholic beverages and sweeteners. In order for the distinction to be made and the diagnosis to be made correctly, it is necessary to contact specialist and experienced dentists.
There are different methods that can be applied for the purpose of tooth tightening treatment. Which method will be applied is determined on a patient-specific basis after determining the underlying cause of the problem.
Using plaque at night during sleep is one of the most commonly used methods to treat tooth tightening problems. When night plaque is used, grinding of teeth and damage to teeth can be prevented during the night. Night plaques are produced according to the measurements taken from each patient. Transparent and personalized night plaques are usually worn by patients with tooth clenching and grinding problems before going to sleep. Thus, the risk of deformation of the jaw joint can be minimized over time. Another feature of transparent dental plaques is that it is an effective method to solve extremely severe tooth clenching and grinding problems that can cause fractures in the teeth and fillings. However, night plaque is a protective method and it is not possible for it to definitively eliminate bruxism disease.
When bruxism is caused by stress, the first step is to eliminate the factors that cause stress. It may be necessary to get psychological support for this. In addition, various activities such as listening to music, walking, reading books, and meditation can help reduce stress levels.
When people with bruxism problems close their mouth, the need for crowns, fillings or orthodontic treatment may arise in cases where the lower and upper teeth do not fit exactly on top of each other. In order for the closure to occur normally, patient-specific treatment should be planned.
After the patient-specific evaluations, the dental botox procedure can be performed if the dentist deems it necessary. The function of the muscle in the area where Botox is injected is temporarily reduced and muscle relaxation is provided. Nov.1, Nov. Which dose of medication will be injected during dental botox treatment and which area will be injected may vary depending on the gender, anatomical structure, November, muscle mass, skin thickness of the patient and the degree of bruxism.
Correctly identifying the underlying cause can ensure that the correct treatment is applied and the problem of tooth tightening is eliminated. If the correct treatment is applied and regular checks are made, the problem of tooth tightening is usually completely and permanently eliminated. Since the tooth tightening problem is of psychological origin in most patients, follow-up should not be stopped even in cases where it is considered to have completely disappeared.
Some measures that can be taken to prevent tooth tightening problem are listed below:
In addition, in patients where the tooth tightening problem develops due to various medical conditions, such as epilepsy, reflux, or sleep apnea, it is necessary to treat the underlying disease of the tooth tightening problem or plan a treatment to alleviate the symptoms. Oct. Since the tooth tightening problem usually causes similar symptoms to other oral and dental health diseases, taking due care not to disrupt routine dental examinations can provide an advantage in terms of early diagnosis and treatment of the problem. In this way, it may be possible to improve the patient's quality of life.
Surgical intervention may be required to eliminate some of the health problems experienced related to the gums. Due to the plaques that accumulate on the tooth surfaces, the formation of dental calculi and gum diseases may occur over time. If gum disease progresses, destruction of the bone structure that supports the tooth and, accordingly, tooth loss can be observed. The most effective way to prevent gum diseases that negatively affect overall health is not to disrupt routine dental examinations and regular cleaning of dental calculi. However, in case of bone destruction or gum disease, it may be possible to perform periodontal surgical procedures.
How gum surgery will be performed may vary depending on the current situation, discomfort and the degree of discomfort for each patient. The dentist first of all examines the patient in detail. If he decides that gum surgery is needed, he applies local anesthesia.
Depending on the condition to be treated during the operation, it may be necessary to make an incision in the gums, remove inflamed tissues and reshape them. Stitches are placed at the incision sites to complete the operation. After this procedure, the healing process of the gums begins. In order for this process to progress quickly and healthily, the medications prescribed by the doctor should be used regularly. The stitches in the gums are checked by removing them within the period determined by the dentist.
The surgical procedure used in the treatment of gum diseases is called gum surgery. If the tissues around the teeth become inflamed and damaged, and if these problems progress, gum surgery may need to be performed. There are several different conditions that require gum surgery to be performed.
As part of periodontology surgical procedures, gum tissues are typically rearranged and the gum shape can be fixed by improving its function. In this way, problems that may trigger oral hygiene problems are eliminated, the gums are restored to a suitable condition for providing long-term care, and it becomes easier to maintain oral health.
In advanced periodontal diseases, it may be necessary to apply surgical periodontal treatments. As part of surgical periodontal treatments, dental calculi in the deep pockets surrounding the teeth are cleaned and the pockets are eliminated. Creating a smooth and firm root surface also means providing patients with a gum surface where they can provide hygiene more easily. It is possible to treat gum retractions by repairing them with a free gum graft or connective tissue operations.
A flap operation can be performed to provide the necessary plaque control by preventing the progression of periodontal diseases. The flap operation is performed under local anesthesia. After the area is numb, the inflamed tissues are cleaned by removing the gum so that the bone is exposed with the root surfaces. In addition, the root surfaces are flattened and the necessary corrections are made to the bone. Depending on the degree of damage to the bone, it may be possible to complete the procedure using a graft.
Flap operation is one of the most commonly performed periodontology surgical procedures. If harmful bacteria in the gum line where the gum and teeth meet are not cleaned and proper treatment is not applied, pain, tenderness and bleeding may develop along with inflammation of the tissues. In even more advanced cases, gum diseases can cause the loss of the bone structure that supports the tooth or various problems in the body.
These are the procedures that are brought up in case of thickening at the edges of the patient's gum. After local anesthesia is applied, the gum is given a physiological form, fibrotic gum growths are treated, and the morphology of the gum is corrected.
How long the gum surgery will take may vary depending on the type of surgical procedure to be performed and the size of the application area. In cases where a small procedure will be performed, gum surgery will be completed in a shorter time, while more extensive procedures may take up to a few hours.
Gum surgery can be defined as a surgical procedure aimed at restoring gum health that has deteriorated for various reasons and providing smile aesthetics. Gum surgery can be successfully completed as long as it is planned specifically for the patient, applied by specialists and experienced dentists in the field with the right techniques. On the other hand, the patient's general health condition, age and many other factors can trigger the risks associated with gum surgery, as with any surgical procedure.
It is possible to sort the risks of gum surgery as follows:
The postoperative process is of critical importance for gum surgery to be successful. In this context, many different points should be taken into account after gum surgery. The main elements to be considered after periodontal surgery can be listed as follows:
