CONSERVATIVE AND ENDODONTIC TREATMENT OF TEETH
Conservative dental treatment and endodontic treatment are two key aspects of dental practice, each focusing on the preservation of teeth and oral health.
Conservative dental treatment it includes all methods used to preserve the natural tooth and prevent further damage. This may include
1. TEETH FILLINGS - filling cavities caused by caries with materials such as composite resins or amalgam.
2. Strengthening teeth - using different techniques, such as ceramic crowns or inlays, to strengthen weakened teeth and restore their functionality.
3. Preventive care – regular dental check-ups, professional teeth cleaning, fluoride treatments and patient education on proper oral hygiene.
Endodontic treatment, also known as root canal treatment, is a specialized procedure used when the pulp of the tooth (the inner part of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels) is infected or damaged. This procedure includes:
1. Diagnostics - identification of problems through x-rays and clinical examinations.
2. Removing the infection - opening the tooth to remove the infected or damaged pulp.
3. Canal cleaning and shaping – thorough cleaning of the root canals and shaping to prepare them for filling.
4. Tooth canal filling – after cleaning, the canals are filled with biocompatible materials to prevent re-infection.
5. Restoration of teeth - after endodontic treatment, the tooth usually requires an additional restoration, such as a crown, to restore its functionality and aesthetic appearance.
PERIODONTOLOGY
Periodontology is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases of the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, bone and connective tissue. These diseases, most often caused by bacterial infections, can lead to serious problems such as tooth loss and bone damage
In our clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach to periodontics, which includes:
1. Diagnostics of periodontal diseases: with the help of modern diagnostic tools and x-rays, we accurately assess the condition of your gums and supporting structures.
2. Preventive measures: we educate our patients about the importance of proper oral hygiene in order to prevent periodontal diseases. This segment includes counseling on proper brushing techniques, flossing, and regular dental checkups.
3. Treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis: our experts use modern treatment methods to reduce inflammation, remove infection and restore gum health. This may include professional cleaning, curettage or, in more severe cases, surgical interventions.
4. Restorative treatments: in cases of more serious damage, we offer options such as regenerative procedures that help restore lost tissue and bone.
5. Continuous care: after treatment is complete, we provide maintenance plans and regular check-ups to ensure the long-term health of your gums
What are the most common methods of treating periodontal diseases?
They include different approaches, depending on the severity of the disease and the specific needs of the patient. Here are some of the most common methods:
1. Professional teeth cleaning: this is a basic method that involves the removal of tartar and plaque from the teeth and gums. This procedure helps to reduce inflammation and prevent further progression of the disease.
2. Curettage: this is a more detailed cleaning, which can be done manually or with an ultrasonic device, and involves the removal of tartar and infected tissue from the periodontal pockets.
3. Antibiotic therapy: in cases of more severe infection, the dentist may recommend the use of antibiotics to control the bacterial infestation. This can be local application (gels or tablets) or systemic therapy (oral antibiotics).
4. Surgical procedures: if periodontal diseases have progressed, surgical interventions may be necessary.
5. Maintenance and monitoring: after treatment, it is important to regularly monitor the condition of the gums through checks and preventive treatments in order to prevent recurrence of the disease.
6. Patient education: a key part of treatment is educating patients about proper oral hygiene, including brushing techniques, flossing, and the importance of regular dental checkups.

These prostheses can be fixed or mobile, and their purpose is to restore the function, aesthetic appearance and health of the patient's oral apparatus.

2. Materials: Prosthetics use a variety of materials, including ceramics, metal, composites, and acrylic resins. The choice of material depends on aesthetic and functional requirements.
3. Adaptation: Each prosthetic replacement is made according to the specific needs of the patient, taking into account the shape of the teeth, jaw, bite and other individual characteristics.
4. Technological progress: Modern prosthetics uses advanced technologies, such as CAD/CAM systems for precise fabrication of restorations, which allows for better fit and faster fabrication.
The meaning of prosthetics:
- Restoration of function: Prosthetics allow patients to regain normal chewing, speaking and functioning in daily life.
- Aesthetics: Prosthetics help to improve the appearance, restoring the natural appearance of the teeth and the patient's smile.
- Prevention of further problems: Properly placed prosthetic structures can prevent the remaining teeth from moving, thereby reducing the risk of further dental problems.

Prosthetics in dentistry play a key role in the rehabilitation of oral health, providing patients with the opportunity to return to normal functioning and improve their smile.
