Dentistry

Dentistry is the medical and surgical specialty which is responsible for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the oral cavity (this includes the teeth, gums, tongue, palate, oral mucosa, salivary glands and other anatomical structures involved, as the lips, tonsils, oropharynx, and temporomandibular joint).

History of dentistry
The diseases have afflicted humanity since its very inception, particularly the sharp and lancinating toothache caused by a deep cavity or a periapical abscess. Curative and rehabilitative techniques have been practiced by many physicians throughout history. The earliest record that exists on early Egyptian practice of dentistry dates back to 5000 years ago (3000 years BC). Hessie-Re is considered the first known dentist in history. An Egyptian inscription shows Hessie wood-Re as head physician of the court. Later this profession was assumed by the barbers who in addition to the services of haircuts, dental extractions assumed the customer complaining of pain. Then they began to exercise flebotonianos and dental surgeons in different parts of the world as part of the authorizations given by the Spanish authorities of the time. Frenchman Pierre Fauchard is considered the father of modern dentistry, for his innovative contributions to the specialty.


Specialties
Dentistry covers various fields and disciplines, Oral Rehabilitation, Orthodontics, Prosthodontics or dentures, Periodontics, Endodontics, Implantology, Pediatric Dentistry, aesthetic or cosmetic dentistry, preventive dentistry, [[]] and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dentistry Neurofocal Administration Hospital and Forensic Dentistry .

In a study comparing both types, only the rotation - oscillations were more effective than traditional ones. Contrary to what suggested by market prices, the non-electric toothbrushes clean better than traditional mouth, according to a UK study published yesterday conducted by scientists from the universities of Birmingham, Edinburgh, Manchester and Sheffield, found that only one type of electric toothbrush produced better results than common, although the former are considerably more expensive.

According to this study, the rotation-oscillation action is more effective in reducing the damage caused by plaque on the surface of the mouth, so that only electric toothbrushes undertaking such a movement will be more effective than normal.

Anyway, and for those unwilling to throw away your toothbrush modern scientists have not proven to be worse than the electric or cause more wounds in the mouth.
Professor Bill Shaw, director of the project, said that people are fooling themselves, at least with most electric toothbrushes, if they think they are more effective.

The research, coordinated by the panel Cochrane Oral Health, evaluated the results of electric toothbrushes in twenty-nine clinics and 2,500 people.
The brushes studied were divided according to the action of their heads, in five different types: from side to side, circular, ultrasonic vibration, oscillation and rotation-oscillation only.

After observing the results it was concluded that only rotation-oscillation toothbrushes outperformed the manual, because it reduced plaque in a 7% increase and gum disease by 17% more. However, Dr. Gordon Watkins of the British Dental Association said that the most important is that whatever is used, it is done properly.

According to these doctors, the best way to prevent diseases of the teeth and gums is to use toothpaste with fluoride can reduce tooth decay in children by 24% for only three years.

What are the mandible fractures and its treatment

Much less known than the axial skeleton, fractures of the facial skeleton, especially the jaw, must be recognized and diagnosed by any physician or dentist, based on sound knowledge of anatomy, history taking and clinical examination and simple radiology. Surgical treatment of these lesions, the authors argue, are spring specialist, and in recent years have seen a miniaturization of the implants for osteosynthesis and consequently a change in surgical approach routes. Endobucales have increased access to the detriment of the cervical tract, they say, thus enabling better patient function and comfort as well as a decrease in complications of trauma and surgery.

The simplified classification of mandibular fractures 7 regions concerned topographical condyle (the most common), coronoid, ramus, angle, body (or horizontal branch), and alveolar-dental symphysis. Three quarters of mandibular fractures are for male persons, mostly young, and the etiology varies with geographical location, being the main cause of interpersonal violence in urban centers, and traffic accidents in nonurban areas.

Anamnesis and clinical examination

As with any trauma examination is necessary to determine the date, type, direction and energy of the trauma. The history is aimed at the targeted location of pain and, especially, the existence of a subjective problem of occlusion. The review must be sought extra oral plates, bruises or signs of bruising, asymmetry, pain or loss of function and sensory-motor problems.
Endobucal examination, meanwhile, can reveal problems of dental occlusion, false mobility or crepitus in the fracture, bruising or gingival mucosa. Must be assessed mouth opening and mandibular excursion, and the possible trauma or tooth avulsions. The essential sign of mandibular fractures is the alteration of the occlusion or dental articulation. While it may be absent, non-displaced condylar fractures, their presence are an indicator of an underlying fracture.

Paraclinical tests

The panoramic radiograph radiographic examination is essential for any suspected fractures. Computed tomography has indicated the urgency, the authors, unless it is required for other craniofacial fractures.
Treatment

Mandibular fracture in the tooth area is a surgical emergency, say the authors, be regarded as an open fracture, because bacterial contamination by saliva that infiltrates the focus is the rule. In these patients, intravenous antibiotics should be given prior to surgical treatment and within 6 hours of injury. Those that do not involve the tooth area (such as the condylar or ascending branches) can be treated as deferred, although the rapid onset of treatment is advisable for the comfort of the patient. In these cases, they add, does not impose preoperative chemotherapy.

Treatment goals include restoration of mandibular function and aesthetic recovery. The indications for mandibular osteosynthesis, lists are open fractures and tooth area, dislocated fractures, complex, comminuted, infected pan facial in edentulous patients or those who refuse to cooperate or in which the blockade maxillomandibular is contraindicated, as is the case of epilepsy. The latter procedure is indicated, they say, mandibular fractures in children, with little in the condylar displacement and in those cases where there was a delay for the indication of internal rigid osteosynthesis. The progress that has allowed the internal rigid osteosynthesis are the abolition of the risks of extubation and the discomfort associated with maxillomandibular fixation, immediate mobilization and rapid functional recovery and the improvement of hygiene endobucal, among others.

Epidemiology

Plurifocal fractures is not uncommon, in a number of authors, 449 mandibular fractures were observed in 287 patients, giving an average figure of 1.56 fractures per patient. The median age is 30.6 years, with values ranging from 2 to 90 years? 75% of cases are male persons, and condylar fractures are most common. Traffic accidents are the leading cause of these fractures, a series evaluated by the authors indicated, however, that in the last ten years the incidence of this cause of mandibular fracture has decreased, while there was an increase of accidents Sports origin and the relative stability of aggression fractures.

Discussion

The mandible, its anatomy and its suspended position is exposed to multiple traumas, as the maxilla and zygomatic arches, participates in the neurocranium protection against a frontal impact. The condyles, in particular, the authors note, may be considered the "fuse" to protect the occipital fossa. Technically, the treatment of simple jaw fractures has evolved with the adoption of rigid internal osteosynthesis, which has gradually supplanted the traditional maxillomandibular blockade. The material currently used in the osteosynthesis (titanium) means a remarkable progress for its biocompatibility and small size. Thanks to the progress of these materials is now possible to use most often endobucales approach routes, avoiding visible external scarring and improves patient comfort. The traditional approach cervicotomy reserves only for certain complex fractures. Techniques in constant progression, the authors conclude, is capable of reducing complications and particularly the rapid recovery of function and the decline of the socioeconomic costs associated with this type of injury.

Structure of permanent teeth

The tooth is a hard anatomical organ, located in the alveoli of the jaws through a special type of joint called gomphosis and in which different structures that comprise it: tooth and alveolar bone cement both united by the periodontal ligament. The tooth is composed of calcium and phosphorus, which give the hardness.

The tooth performs the first stage of digestion and also participates in oral communication.

Basically in the tooth can be recognized two parts, the crown covered with visible tooth enamel and the root is not visible in a healthier mouth.

The teeth, arranged from the center toward the jaws are cutting incisors, canines that tear, premolars and molars to grind grinding.
