Teeth are very important to a person for many different reasons. Teeth not only have a cosmetic purpose but they have a functional person as well. It is important that a person’s teeth erupt fully because teeth are needed for anything from eating to the proper pronunciation of words. But if there is a severe trauma to the tooth, like it getting chipped or knocked out playing a sport, falling, or domestic or child abuse (Smith), all of these injuries can stop the development of the root. Root of teeth do not fully develop until two to three years after the tooth has erupted. If the root is allowed to develop completely it comes to a close known as the apex of the tooth. The apex of the tooth normally has an opening that is about one to three …show more content…
The first difference between apexification and apexogenesis is when they would be performed. Apexification is performed when the pulp cannot be saved in the tooth. Apexogenesis is the procedure that would be used if most or half of the dental pulp can be saved in the tooth. The biggest difference between these two procedures is that one will stop root development where the other encourages the development of the root. Apexogenesis is the procedure that will help the root to continue to develop. The root will continue to grow because the healthy pulp is left in the tooth and allows everything to continue growing. Apexification is the procedure where all of the pulp is removed and root development seizes to continue. The dental pulp is removed because there is no dental pulp worth saving, unlike in apexogenesis. These two procedures truly have more in common than they have different however. To start off with they are both endodontic procedures (dental). Both of these procedures use the same medication on the dental pulp, which is a calcium hydroxide and water paste. Both of these procedures should be performed by an endodontist. They are dentist that specialize in diseases and treatments of dental pulp (Smith). Both apexification and apexogenesis procedures need to be monitored anywhere from months to years to make sure everything heals

Molars erupt at different times in life. The first set of molars usually erupts around 6–7 years of age. The second set of molars typically erupts around 11–13 years of age. The third set of molars usually erupts between the ages of 17–21. This set of molars is often referred to as wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth often become impacted, but any molar or set of molars can become impacted.
WookHeo, Dong-SeokNahm, and Seung-HakBaek (2007)32performed study to compare the amount of anchorage loss of the maxillary posterior teeth and amountof retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth between en masse retraction and two-step retraction of the anterior teeth.30 female adult patients with Class I malocclusion and lip protrusion were included in the study. The sample was subdivided into group 1 (en masse retraction) and group 2 (two-step retraction). Lateral cephalograms were taken before (T1) and after treatment (T2). Nine skeletal and 10 anchorage variables were measured, and independent t-test was used for statistical analysis.The amount of horizontal retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth was not different between the two groups, there was mild labial movement of the root apices of the upper incisors in group 2 at T2. No significant difference in the degree of anchorage loss of the maxillary posterior teeth was observed between the two groups. Bodily and mesial movements of the upper molars occurred in both groups. A 4 mm of the retraction of the upper incisal edges resulted from 1 mm of anchorage loss in the upper molars in both groups.
The Four Passing Sights are encounters that Gautama Buddha had after venturing out of his palace after being confined there for a time. The sights that he encountered were old age, disease, a corpse and an ascetic. Religious ascetics are characterized by those that abstain from partaking of the pleasures of the material world around them. The first three elements of the Passing Sights were things that the Buddha had never encountered before. Thus he had no knowledge of them. The fourth element is the very thing that helped him to overcome the first three.
Teeth develop in a specific order and also the way they are looked after is important.
If decay in primary teeth is not addressed in a timely fashion, not only will it affect the children’s ability to chew and speak but it can also have a significant impact on the permanent teeth as well. Once a tooth has a cavity in it, that bacteria will spread to the neighboring teeth. If bacteria migrates below the gingiva, an abscess could occur which will delay or prevent the permanent teeth from erupting. An abscess will cause a lot of pain to the children and the affected tooth can be
This breakage leaves the pulp of some teeth exposed. The two authors explained the tooth damage further. The exposed pulp would begin to decay. This would cause a cavity to form on the tooth.
The goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy is the same person who would cause the fall of Macbeth. Because of Hecate and the 3 we’ird sisters, Macbeth, and later Maclcom becomes the king of Scotland.
Your dentist may place a temporary crown over your tooth that will last for a few weeks while your permanent crown is custom made for you. Before the crown is put on, all the decayed enamel has to be removed. If your cavity is large, there may not be enough of it left to hold onto the crown. When that's the case, your dentist can insert a post into the root of your tooth. The crown then attaches to the post so it is held secure enough for you to eat normally. A crown is a cap made from porcelain, metal, or a combination of the two. If you choose a porcelain crown, it will blend in with your other teeth and not be noticeable. Porcelain is a good choice if you have a root canal in your front tooth. Metal might be a better choice for a molar since it is more durable and less likely to chip from the pressure of
The author concluded that with regular periodontal maintenance, removal of root surface accretion for better periodontal tissue attachment was more important than any surgical procedures.
The extraction of third molars, also referred to as wisdom teeth is one of the most debated topics among dental professionals and accounts for a large portion of dental revenue. Just about everyone develops third molars and if they erupt into the oral cavity, they function as the most distal grinding teeth in the oral cavity. However it is very common for these teeth to develop in an irregular pattern also referred to as impaction. If this happens it is highly recommended that the patient have them removed before they cause pain or damage to the surrounding teeth. Other common reasons for extraction include symptoms of pathological findings as well as prevention of future problems further down the road. Due to the fact that there are many different issues that could potentially develop due to third molars it is
The growth of wisdom teeth is the last teeth development stage that children experience. It, however, comes with certain discomforts. Wisdom teeth are normally the lower and upper molars that children develop in stages. The first molars appear when the kids are about 6 years old, the second at the age of 12, while the third molars develop between 17-21 years old.
The morphology of the root canal systems of mandibular molars may vary according to ethnic differences and origin, age, gender, and study design(2). The roots and morphology of mandibular molars present clinical complications that affect the success of endodontic therapy. Therefore, clinicians must be able to identify the root canal structure before or during a root canal treatment(3).
The nerves and the blood vessels that run through the root canals of the tooth are called the pulp. Once the tooth has erupted fully from the gums the pulp does not play as vital a role in the health of the tooth. This makes it possible to remove the pulp and still have a healthy tooth.
The teeth are the hardest substances in the human body. They are built for biting, grinding and chewing, teeth are composed with most prominent inorganic minerals like calcium and phosphorus. Every tooth is embedded in a socket called gum and are made up of four different types of tissue: enamel, cementum, pulp and dentin. The enamel which is the hardest, white outer part of the tooth covers the crown which is placed above the gum. The cementum, coats the roots of the teeth firmly to the gums and jawbone. At the very centre between dentin and cementum, called pulp, where connective tissue, blood vessels and nerves are located. Dentin makes up most the tooth, guarding teeth from the wear and tear of chewing, protects against temperature changes and
