Dentistry

Extraction of a tooth is a dental procedure in which the tooth is obliterated from its socket. Also referred to as “Pulling of tooth”, the procedure is done when the tooth is damaged beyond repair, and no restoration technique can save it.

Our dentists recommend tooth extraction if the patient has cavities, crowded teeth, gum diseases, etc. Dentists can do tooth extraction; however, severe cases are handed over to oral surgeons or periodontists. A dental X-Ray is taken to analyse the extent of damage and recommend an accurate remedy. Once thoroughly checked and information is gathered, you can discuss sedation options with the referring doctor and ask all your queries. General Anaesthesia is generally recommended so that you have a painless tooth extraction.

The dentist first gives you anaesthesia so your tooth and surrounding areas are numbed. Then using special dentistry tools, he loosens your tooth, lifting it from its socket. The socket is then cleaned and disinfected. Sometimes, your dentist may also place a dental bone graft to prevent bone loss in your jaw.

Root Canal Treatment is done to treat the soft tissues inside the root canal. When the tooth gets chipped or cracked, bacteria enter the pulp and damage it. This untreated bacteria can cause serious damage to the teeth and needs to be treated. RCT is done for the carious tooth (Cavities) with pulpal involvement, fractured tooth, etc.

In this procedure, The infected area is anaesthetised locally, the tooth is drilled, and the infected pulp is removed. The space of the root canal is enlarged and makes infection accessible. It is then filled till the root apex. Root Canal means cleaning off of tooth’s canals. RCT used to be painful decades ago. However, with developed technologies, RCT is no more painful than living with a decayed tooth.

Symptoms that you need an RCT include:

• Swelling around your face

• Severe pain in your face and ear

• Swelling of gums, etc.

One needs to get an X-Ray done to check the extent to which the tooth is damaged before going for a Root Canal Treatment. A dental dam ( a rubber-like sheet) is used during an RCT to keep your tooth clean and saliva free.

Apicoectomy Surgery is done to prevent severe complications and save at-risk teeth. Often performed by Endodontist, it is a minimally invasive surgery done to remove the tooth tip. It is also termed “Root-end Surgery/Apical Surgery.”

An apicoectomy is a simple dental procedure where the end part of your tooth is removed, whereas the tip is kept intact. It is recommended for patients who have undergone at least one RCT and have developed infections, swelling, or pain. It is also called root-end resection, as it works on the end part of your root called the apex.
An apicoectomy is not painful for the patient as the patient is under local anaesthesia; however, the recovery period may be painful. 

In Apicoectomy with RCT, you’re first given anaesthesia so that the area is numbed to be operated on. Then the gums are cut through so the doctor can reach your root. Then the infected tissues and a few millimetres of the root are removed. The root canal is then cleaned and sealed to prevent further infections.

Complete Dentures are used when a complete teeth replacement is required. They are not fixed in your mouth and can be removed while sleeping or cleaning.

A complete denture, also known as a full denture or false teeth, takes up the whole mouth rather than just a part of it. It is removable and used to replace missing teeth or by someone who has lost all their teeth.

The stay of a complete denture depends on the amount of bone you have. The thumb rule says the more bone one has, the more prominent the denture stays. In addition to the bone ridge, other factors that play an essential role are one’s salivary consistency, the muscular structure of the cheek, the shape of one’s palate, etc.

During complete dentures, other things that are looked at and can be improved include your bite, the fit, cosmetics, etc. Different dentures are used depending on the variety that suits you best.

The Complete Denture steps are:

1. The impression of the jaws is taken

2. Bite registration is done

3. A trial to see the denture fitting is taken

4. Dentures are then delivered.

Over time teeth can get damaged or infected. The teeth can also lose their shape and size. Tooth crowns are caps used to protect or restore damaged teeth.

Dental Crown is a shield applied on the existing teeth to protect an injured or broken tooth. Another reason a tooth crown can be used is to cover a poorly shaped tooth or hold a dental bridge in its place. This is done so the damaged tooth can last longer and are strong. Tooth Crowns are made with different substances like ceramic, glass, metal, etc.

In this procedure, during the first visit, the tooth is examined and prepared to receive a crown. On the next visit, the crown is adjusted and fixed.

The tooth crown prepared is of the same thickness as the removed layer, so no difference is identified.

Your tooth crown might not decay, but the edge it is placed on can; thus, taking care of your teeth is essential. Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste as recommended and floss them.

Heritage Hospitals should be your best choice if you or someone close has been advised for a Crown Full Ceramic. With our advanced care and latest critical facilities, we aim to provide better results.

A removable tooth for a missing tooth is termed Denture. Dentures can be both partial or fixed. Fixed dentures are used when all the teeth have been damaged or fallen off, whereas partial dentures replace one or two.

Fixed Partial Denture is also termed the “bridge” procedure. It is a way to replace a missing tooth with a fixed prosthesis. 

In this procedure, the adjacent teeth encircle the edentulous space in the first visit and are reduced from all sides. Then the measurement of teeth and crown are taken along with missing teeth. On the second visit, the dentures are fixed.

The artificial tooth, also termed “Pontic”, replaces the natural tooth to restore its functions. A fixed bridge is cemented into its place, and the artificial tooth is attached to it. The partial denture does both- prevents other teeth from changing their location and fills the place of missing teeth.
