A for adhesive bonding adhesive bonding, acid-etching technique (SEEDS): Applied to composite fillings and cementation of ceramic restorations / crowns / bridges using composite veneers and bonding. The principle is that a thin liquid plastic (adhesive) a bond between the tooth structure (enamel, dentine) and the corresponding filling material (eg a composite) is received.
B as bruxism be ground unconscious movements of the teeth of upper and lower jaw, usually during sleep in stress, or by ill-fitting dentures due. Damaged in case of durable grinding surface of the teeth and loosen all the teeth. Remedy appropriate rails.
C as craniomandibular dysfunction malfunction in the interaction of the temporomandibular joint, jaw muscles and teeth. Typical symptoms: cracking the jaw joint and headache.
D as demineralization of enamel decalcification by acid attacks. Decalcification with permanent caries.
E as endodontics Inflamed or infected tissue in the root canal is removed. The root canal being cleaned and enlarged. Then, the resulting cavity filled and sealed.
F fissure known as the columns and furrows on the surface of the teeth. The surveys are referred to as a hump on the other hand. To protect the teeth, these surfaces are sealed with a special plastic paint. G
such as gingivitis, acute or chronic inflammation of the gums (gingiva) that is associated with dental plaque.
H as halitosis bad breath caused by bacteria in the spaces between the teeth, periodontal pockets and the tongue.
I like inlay (inlay) is a manufactured in a dental laboratory dental filling, usually made of materials such as ceramic, gold alloy or titanium, which is then used by the dentist in a dental defect.
J for jacket crown of plastic or porcelain crown without metal frame on the front teeth.
K as composite composites are tooth-colored composite fillings. There are a variety of different compositions and properties. They are placed in the prepared tooth cavity and hardened with a special lamp.
L as labial and lingual location description in the mouth. = Labial tooth surface facing the lips out. = Lingual tooth surfaces showing the tongue out.
M such as molars, also called molars, are the rear molars.
N as Nursing-bottle syndrome (Nursing Bottle Caries) tooth decay in infants and young children caused by the constant supply of sweetened or acid-containing infant formula in the form of "calm bottle" is produced.
O as occlusion contact between upper teeth and lower teeth. With a special color film, these contacts between the upper and lower jaw may be visualized and removed.
P periodontitis caused by bacteria such as inflammation, as indicated by gum recession and bone loss of the jaw. In many cases it is the cause of tooth loss. This occurs in implants to inflammation is called peri-implantitis.
Q Quadrant as to location of teeth, the teeth in 4 areas (Quadrants) each.
R as marginal gap, the gap between the filling and the tooth. The closer this gap, the lower is the risk that this may determine caries.
S as scaling cleaning the teeth of plaque, etc. by means of special instruments (scaler)
T as pocket depth distance between the upper gums and the gum pocket bottom. Usually indicates a disease of the gums out.
V for vitality testing examination of the sensitivity of a tooth by spot stimuli with extreme cold or electrical pulses
W White caries as precursor. Decalcification demonstrated by white patches on the tooth enamel.
Z for dental chart diagram to locate teeth in the mouth. The most used is the FDI scheme. The first number always stands for the quadrant and the second for the tooth
