This case presented a lot of dental problems including broken teeth, root stumps with pins, defective crown, decays, worn off dentition and missing teeth. After discussing the options with the patient, we decided to keep the existing teeth if possible and replace missing teeth with a more economic treatment plan. The treatments completed included extractions for unrestorable teeth, white fillings, root canal treatment , post, a new crown and a metal (cobalt chrome) denture

A patient with a missing upper first molar requested to replace the missing tooth. On examination, we found an upper left first molar missing and root caries on the second molar, which meant the second molar was unrestorable and a dental bridge would not be an option. The options left would be a removable denture or a dental implant . The patient chose the dental implant because he didn't like dentures. After the x-ray was taken, it showed that it would not be a simple and

It seems nothing wise with wisdom teeth. All they do is to cause pain, inflammation, infection. And the most common treatment is wisdom tooth extraction just like this case. Also they can have abnormal anatomy - how weird their shape is! It may take lots of wisdom to grow so weirdly. #wisdomtooth

Many people think baby teeth don’t matter because they will eventually fall out. But the truth is baby teeth are very important to a child’s early physical, social and emotional development. Primary, or baby teeth help chewing, speaking and give kids beautiful smiles. Unhealthy baby teeth also a source of dental pain, which may distract children from learning in schools. In children's dentistry , they are very important to keep the space for proper development of adult teeth

Dental bridge is one of the options to replace missing teeth. These bridges consist of one or more pontics (fake teeth) and are held in place by dental crowns (abutments), which are cemented onto the teeth adjacent to missing tooth. It uses natural teeth on both sides of the gap created by your missing tooth. Compared to dental implants , one of disadvantages is dental bridges have to trim down adjacent teeth, which is damage to natural teeth. Another significant disadvan

Like cars, teeth can break down too, especially after some fillings done, which means some of tooth structure has been replaced with some filling material like amalgam and composite resin. This case showed how we fix a broken tooth. In this case, we can see this upper second molar had a large amalgam restoration, two cracks on the buccal and distal aspects, and a fractured mesio-buccal cusp. During the first treatment, we removed all the old amalgam filling and replaced with

Implant supported bridge is the best option to replace these lower front missing teeth, especially when there is not enough space to place one implant for one missing tooth. This video shows the complete treatment from the computer guided implant surgery to the final implant supported bridge restoration. The final result is satisfying and missing teeth were replaced functionally and aesthetically. #veneerscrownsandbridges #DentalImplants

Tooth jewelry, or tooth gems are tiny, decorative attachments that are bonded to the teeth with the same adhesive used for brackets for braces . It was big trend in Sweden in the late '90s and early '00s. Tooth jewelry comes in a variety of colors, sizes, and even shapes. It can be made out of gold, diamonds, glass stones or just diamante. The application process is a simple and safe cosmetic procedure, which is best performed by a dental professional. The dental jewellery

Tooth enamel is the hardest part of the body but it still can crack, chip and break. When it has a small crack, it may cause crack tooth syndrome which involves sharp pain when biting on it. When the crack travels deeper and touches the nerve inside the tooth, it will cause severe toothache, often it's too painful to sleep and ends up with dental emergency . In this case, the crack on the distal was too deep for the nerve to survive and a root canal treatment was unavoidabl

Surgical crown lengthening is a surgical procedure to expose more tooth structure and increase the clinical crown length. Crown lengthening can be used to increase retention form, which makes further fillings or crowns possible, or to improve aesthetic outcome, such as correct "gummy smile". In this case, the tooth had root canal treatment , post and crown done years ago and unfortunately broke off. The remaining tooth was just at the same level of gum line. It would not be

Sinus lift is also called sinus augmentation. It is surgery to add bone to upper jaw, specially in molar and premolar area. The sinus membrane will be "lifted" to make room for bone grafting. From CBCT , we can see the sinus floor was too low and the remaining bone was not enough for implant. In this case, lateral window technique was used. Sinus membrane lining was raised and granules of bone-graft material was packed into the space after a small, oval window was opened in

A space or gap between two teeth is also called a diastema. It appears most often between the two upper front teeth. In some cases, it may require orthodontic treatment (braces) to close the gaps between teeth. However, in some not severe cases, simple composite bonding can be an easy, quick and much more affordable option. It's also very conservative compared to traditional veneers . #Compositebonding

Acute dental nerve infection could be one of the most painful experience a dental patient has ever had. It can cause very severe pain, even strong pain killer doesn't help too much. It's also one of the most common reasons of dental emergencies . When it becomes chronic, dental abscess can be formed. Infection of dental nerve is normally caused by dental caries (decay), deep cracks, gum disease or trauma. The treatment option is either root canal treatment or extraction .
