How is the denudation of the tooth root
Our teeth are divided into three parts: the crown, neck and root. If a person has a healthy tooth, then we can only see the crown, but the neck is hidden by the gum, and the root itself - by the gum tissue, respectively. Violation is the case when the neck of the tooth is visible with the naked eye, when the tooth becomes bare, it can become a symptom of serious diseases.
For example, with periodontitis, the neck of the tooth may first become bare, and then the roots themselves. Exposure of the neck and root occurs due to development of certain pathologies in parodontin particular, gums, jaw bones or dental ligaments. Exposure of the roots or necks is called the periodontal pockets that arise between the tooth and the gum. Expose the neck or root at any age, statistics on the frequent manifestation of the disease at any given age does not exist.
Symptoms of cervical and dental root exposure
For this ailment the most frequent are the following symptoms:
- pain in the root;
- swelling on the gums;
- the gum becomes dark red;
- discomfort in the gum area;
- bleeding gums when biting hard food or dental cleaning.
If you find yourself in at least one of these symptoms, you should immediately see a dentistso that the disease does not develop. Among the later symptoms of cervical exposure, there is an unpleasant odor, root inflammation, swaying and periodontal pockets.
Why dental roots and necks become bare
In most cases, the exposure of the necks and roots is due to the following reasons:
- improper bite and, as a consequence, the violation of the integrity of the gums;
- improper care of the teeth and their injury due to such care;
- mild plaque on tooth enamel;
- tartar and inflammation.
So, due to the development of inflammation, the connective tissue on the gums is affected, and this leads to the appearance of periodontal pockets and exposure. In the cavity between the tooth and gum begin to multiply actively harmful bacteria that provoke the development of the disease.
Next, the affected gum particles sink more deeply and surround the root portion, and this provokes inflammation and leads to the appearance of a granuloma at the root. So, the naked part becomes more and more, tissues start to change with time for the epithelium, but this does not help to stop the process.
So, the gum becomes smaller and less visible, first the neck, and then the root of the tooth. If you do not treat the exposure in time, the tooth over time will not be able to be held and will simply fall out.
Methods and remedies for the treatment of exposure
To prescribe a treatment for this disease, you should start find out the reason for his appearance. So, if the teeth began to become bare because of the presence of tartar, then they should be removed as early as possible, until the disease began to progress. In this case, the healing of the gums in older people can last long enough.
If the exposure was due to improper dental care, in particular, the use of too stiff brushes and other factors, then in dentistry periodontal treatment should be cured and conduct a lesson for oral hygiene for the patient.
To begin with, it is necessary to rid the oral cavity of a different type of plaque, including not only the surface of the teeth, but also the tongue and cheeks. The teeth must then be cleaned thoroughly once a day and each time after meals more quickly, this is the main treatment.
If the disease was triggered by an abnormal bite, then an impression is made first, then it may be necessary equip teeth with braces to correct bite.
Therapeutic treatment of teeth exposure includes the following measures:
- grinding in two stages. First you need to determine the place of exposure. To do this, you need to squeeze your teeth so that the doctor can identify the places where the teeth come into contact with each other prematurely. In this case, close the jaw of the patient should be slightly, so that you can determine the time of the first contact;
- filling, during which the bare part of the tooth is covered with a filling. And the root is tempered;
- the procedure for the removal of tartar is an easy and completely painless operation;
- removal of overhanging edges from seals. For this, the contours of the seals are processed and polished; if this cannot be done, then the seal is changed.
Sometimes applied surgical treatment of the diseaseIt includes:
- plastic surgery or patchwork surgery of the gums, during which the bare part of the tooth is closed by local tissues;
- removal of the dental root and the use of a clasp prosthesis, allowing to install a new one in its place.
Surgical treatment is applied depending on the cause of the disease and is prescribed by a doctor only after therapeutic treatment.
