Diseases of the teeth (dentistry)

Küttner's syndrome

Kuttner's syndrome (synonyms: sclerosing inflammation of the submandibular salivary glands, Kuttner's "inflammatory tumor") was described in 1897 by H. Kuttner as a disease that includes the simultaneous enlargement of both submandibular glands, the clinical picture of which resembles a tumor process.

Complications after tooth extraction

Like any other surgical intervention, tooth extraction may not go very smoothly. In addition to bleeding, the following complications arise after tooth extraction: swelling, infectious inflammation at the extraction site, temperature.

Dental implantation is a modern method of restoring the dentition

Dental implantation involves replacing the roots of lost teeth, that is, installing a special structure into the jaw bone tissue in place of the missing teeth.

Why do my gums bleed and what to do?

When developing oral diseases, the patient is often bothered by symptoms such as swelling and bleeding gums. If the gums swell or bleed, this may be a sign of the development of diseases such as periodontitis, gingivitis or periodontosis.

Gum diseases and their treatment

Gum disease, according to international statistics, most often affects people over the age of thirty-five. In the early stages of the disease, pain may be absent or mild.

Heerfordt syndrome

Heerfordt's syndrome (syn.: uveoparotitis, uveoparotid fever) was described in 1409 by CF Heerfordt as a symptom complex including enlargement of the parotid glands, damage to the uveal tract (iridocyclitis, uveitis), and subfebrile increase in temperature.

Mikulicz syndrome and disease

Miculicz's disease (synonyms: sarcoid sialosis, Miculicz's allergic reticuloepithelial sialosis, lymphomyeloid sialosis, lymphocytic tumor) is named after the physician J. Miculicz, who in 1892 described an enlargement of all major and some minor salivary glands, as well as lacrimal glands, which he observed over 14 months in a 42-year-old peasant.

Treatment of periodontitis

Treatment of periodontitis includes a range of procedures, including local therapy, physiotherapy, surgery, and orthopedic treatment.

Periodontitis

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease in which the tissues that surround and hold the tooth in the tooth socket are destroyed - the gums, periodontium, cementum and alveolar processes.

Removal of baby teeth

Extraction of baby teeth is used by dentists only in the most extreme cases, when the baby tooth can no longer be saved. The most common reason for parting with baby teeth is inflammatory processes in the oral cavity, when the periradicular tissues or the roots themselves are affected.
