The branch of medicine that deals with the study, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases and other conditions that affect the teeth and gums, especially the repair and extraction of teeth and the insertion of artificial ones is known as Dentistry. The field of dentistry or dental medicine is not limited to teeth it also includes other aspects of the craniofacial complex including the temporomandibular joint and other supporting, muscular, lymphatic, vascular, nervous and anatomical structures.
The branch of dentistry which deals with dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth Endodontics. The endodontic procedures comprise of root canal treatment, endodontic surgery and special procedures to save teeth after traumatic dental injuries. Endodontists are experts at managing a wide array of complex endodontic problems professionally. Advanced technologies and specialized techniques used by endodontists provide them a very accurate opinion of the inside of the tooth and allow them to treat the tooth quickly and comfortably.
The study of the human tooth structures is Dental anatomy. Dental anatomy is a taxonomical science which is concerned with the naming of teeth and the structures of which they are made, this information serving a practical purpose in dental treatment. Tooth formation starts before birth, and the teeth's eventual morphology is dictated during this time
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry which treats malocclusion, a condition in which the teeth are not correctly placed when the mouth is closed. The Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth, to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they work. It can help look after the long-term health of your teeth, jaw joints and gums by spreading the biting pressure over all your teeth.
Nursing can be called as a noble profession in healthcare field to give attentive care to the patient, families and even public they recover and maintain health. A Dental nurse supports the dentist, dental technician, dental specialist, and patients in dental practices. A Dental nurse may have to do check-ups, mental and physical support, setting the equipment, decontaminating equipment’s, medicine instructions, working close to the dentist, preparation of diagnosis setup, precheck the apparatus and monitoring patient.
Prosthodontics is the dental field primarily concerned with the restoration and replacement of lost or damaged teeth. Sometimes called the “architects of the smile,” Prosthodontists are extremely trained experts with a unique understanding of all the elements that go into a beautiful, functional and natural-looking smile—not just the teeth, but also the gums line, lips, and facial features. When it comes to preparation and carrying out a full-scale smile makeover, a team of dental specialists is often required; many times, that team is captained by a prosthodontist.
Periodontics is the field which focuses completely on the inflammatory disease that destroys the gums and other supporting structures round the teeth. The secondary tissues are known as the periodontium, which includes the gums, cementum alveolar bone, and the periodontal ligament. Periodontists treat cases starting from mild gingivitis to more severe periodontitis, such as scaling and root, root surface debridement and regenerative procedures. When essential, periodontists can also perform surgical procedures for patients with severe gum disease
Problems like gum disease, bad breath, yellow teeth can occur due to bad oral hygiene, but they can also be prevented very easily by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, eating properly and regular dental check-ups. The fundamentals of good dental hygiene are taught from a very early age. Similarly, information on common dental problems and their causes is also very important as they can a go a long way in prevention.
Dental treatments are necessary for everyone, including children, should visit the dentist for the dental check-up at least once every six months. Scaling and cleaning include the removal of built-up debris from the teeth while Sealants protect teeth from decay. Any tooth that has deep channels or gaps can be treated, but the most commonly treated teeth are the molars and premolars.
3D Virtual Imaging is one of the most important tools for orthodontists to evaluate and record size and form of craniofacial constructions. Orthodontists often use 2-dimensional (2D) static imaging procedures, but deepness of structures cannot be acquired and limited with 2D imaging. Three-dimensional (3D) imaging has been developed in the early of 1990's and has grew a prized place in dentistry, particularly in orthodontics. In 3D diagnostic imaging, a series of anatomical records is collected using certain technical equipment, processed by a computer and later presented on a 2D monitor to present the illusion of deepness.
Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing are one of the modern dental treatment methods which is used to recover the design and creation of dental restorations especially dental prostheses, including crowns, crown lays, veneers, fixed bridges, inlays and inlays, dental implant restorations, dentures and orthodontic appliances.
It is a surgical field that deals with the treatment of acquired deformities of the head, face, skull, neck, jaws and related structures. Defects typically treated by craniofacial surgeons include craniosynostosis, rare craniofacial clefts, acute and chronic sequalae of facial fractures, cleft lip and palate, Treachery Collins Syndrome, micrognathia, Apert's Syndrome, Craniofacial microsomia, Crouzon's Syndrome, microtia and other congenital ear anomalies, and many others.
Surgery of the teeth and jaw bones to artificially change the dentition is called the dental surgery. But, dental medicine isn’t only about fixing your teeth but also covers other aspects of craniofacial complexes, such as the temporomandibular structure and other supporting structures. The dental surgery procedures don’t only cover root canals and removal of wisdom teeth that are impacted.
The term "Restorative Dentistry" is the combined management of oral health problems and restoring of the mouth to a functional and Esthetic state. Many of the procedures are also covered by the dental specialty of prosthodontic dentistry, including fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges, full and partial dentures and dental implants.
The proper handling, inspection and evaluation of dental evidence which will be then presented in the interest of justice is termed as Forensic dentistry. The evidence that may be resulting from teeth is the age and identification of the person to whom the teeth belong. This is done using dental records including radiographs, post-mortem and ante-mortem photographs and DNA.
Cosmetic Dentistry is used to enhance the appearance of teeth, gums as well as gingiva. It principally concentrates on improvement dental aesthetics in covering, position, size, shape, arrangement and general smile appearance. Many dental specialists mention to themselves as "cosmetic dentists". Cosmetic dentistry procedures are used to change the aesthetic appearance of the teeth.
The delivery of dental care to older adults involving the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of problems associated with usual aging and age-related problems as part of an interdisciplinary team with other health care specialists is known as Geriatric dentistry which is also referred as medical gerontology.
Unusual eating habits and poor oral hygiene dental problem in children is very common nowadays. Pediatric dentists deal with the dental health of children; to care the childs teeth, gums and mouth through the various stages of childhood. To provide treatment, a pediatric dentist must recognize the specific dental and behavioral needs of a pediatric patient as they hold different dentition than adults. A dental visit is necessary within every six months after the first tooth, this prevents the early stages of tooth decay.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery includes surgery, diagnosis and treatment of defects, injuries and diseases mainly in the oral hard and soft tissues, neck, head, face and maxillofacial area i.e. jaws and face. Purposes of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon may include dental replacements, jaw, oral and facial tumor diagnosis and removal, jaw and facial bone alignment, jaw reconstruction, etc. Advancements in the field of radiology are changing so quickly that practitioners like oral and maxillofacial radiologists are pioneers in a constantly evolving field of practice.
The field of dentistry is also a part of the digital revolution which is transforming every aspect of the world and impacting and medicine in a multitude of ways. Specialists say that technological innovation will ultimately improve and broaden access to dental care, allowing for same-day care which translates to fewer office visits—making a healthy smile more reasonable.
