Teeth play a vital role in an animal's survival; they are used for eating, grooming and defense. [2] [5] Each tooth is made up of a crown, which is above the gum line and covered in enamel, and roots that anchor the tooth to the alveolar bone. [2] [6] Beneath the enamel, there are collagen fibres and inorganic hydroxyapatite, which together ...
Barodontalgia is a symptom of dental disease, for example inflammatory cyst in the mandible. [13] Indeed, most of the common oral pathologies have been reported as possible sources of barodontalgia: dental caries, defective tooth restoration, pulpitis, pulp necrosis, apical periodontitis, periodontal pockets, impacted teeth, and mucous ...
Non-dental sources of pain often cause multiple teeth to hurt and have an epicenter that is either above or below the jaws. For instance, cardiac pain (which can make the bottom teeth hurt) usually radiates up from the chest and neck, and sinusitis (which can make the back top teeth hurt) is worsened by bending over.
Tooth mobility is the horizontal or vertical displacement of a tooth beyond its normal physiological boundaries [1] around the gingival (gum) area, i.e. the medical term for a loose tooth. Tooth loss implies in loss of several orofacial structures, such as bone tissues, nerves, receptors and muscles and consequently, most orofacial functions ...
Pericoronitis is inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the crown of a partially erupted tooth, [1] including the gingiva (gums) and the dental follicle. [2] The soft tissue covering a partially erupted tooth is known as an operculum , an area which can be difficult to access with normal oral hygiene methods.
IN FOCUS: As SmileDirectClub ceases operations and leaves thousands of customers in the lurch, Ellie Muir asks whether the invisible braces industry has become too bloated for its own good
Carnassial teeth infections are common in domestic dogs. They can present as abscesses (a large swollen lump under the eye). Extraction or root canal procedure (with or without a crown) of the tooth is necessary to ensure that no further complications occur, as well as pain medication and antibiotics. [23]
Pulpitis can often create so much pressure on the tooth nerve that the individual will have trouble locating the source of the pain, confusing it with neighboring teeth, called referred pain. The pulp cavity inherently provides the body with an immune system response challenge, which makes it very difficult for a bacterial infection to be ...
