The mouth area is one of the most pliable and sensitive areas of the face. Since it is constantly exposed to mechanical, chemical and physical irritants, this provokes the development of local pathological processes.
Modern dentistry is a fairly advanced and effective branch of medicine today. However, even the most reliable system sometimes malfunctions. For example, after a filling is placed, a person's tooth may begin to hurt.
A specific form of dental pathology – a wedge-shaped tooth defect – is related to non-carious enamel damage. This defect occurs at the neck of the tooth in its visible area. The upper part of the “wedge” in all cases “looks” into the dental cavity.
Since the filling is one of the final stages of treatment, it is necessary to consider not only the quality of the filling itself, but also the rationality of the previous manipulations. This is necessary because many of the procedures performed directly affect the consistency and durability of the filling.
A characteristic quality of thin and delicate gum tissue is a pronounced regenerative capacity. Therefore, the appearance of an ulcer on their surface should be assessed as a reaction to a change in the state of the body and the possible emergence of internal trouble.
A very rare disease, adamantinoma, is a malignant formation of the bone system. The specificity of adamantinoma is that this tumor arises from cellular enamel structures. The disease is currently still at the stage of study, since its etiology still has many controversial and unclear points.
Teeth are a subject of concern and care for every person, from infancy to the end of life. Their eruption in childhood is accompanied by swelling and inflammation of the gums, pain, and they require daily care.
A periodontal (periodontal) abscess – or, more simply, a gum abscess – is the formation of a cavity filled with purulent contents in the periodontal tissue. The inflammation is localized in the area next to the tooth and looks like a small formation inside the gum.
A short frenulum of the lip (upper or lower) is not a disease, but an anatomical and topographic feature of the structure of the vestibule of the oral cavity, which is classified as a structural abnormality of the soft tissues of the oral cavity.
