  2. Dental dam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_dam

    Rubber dam isolation of upper left second premolar, held in place with a rubber dam clamp during endodontic therapy. The technique used to apply the dental dam is selected according to the tooth requiring treatment. Several techniques can be used including single tooth isolation, multiple tooth isolation or split dam technique.

  3. Hypodontia - Wikipedia

    The tooth at the end of each region was less genetically stable and hence more prone to absence. In contrast, the tooth most mesial in each region seemed to be more genetically stable. [9] A subsequent theory hypothesised the teeth at the end of each region were possibly "vestigial bodies" that became obsolete during the evolutionary process.

  4. Root canal treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_canal_treatment

    Isolating the tooth. The use of a rubber dam for tooth isolation is mandatory in endodontic treatment for several reasons: It provides an aseptic operating field, isolating the tooth from oral and salivary contamination. Root canal contamination with saliva introduces new microorganisms to the root canal which compromise the prognosis.

  5. Human tooth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth

    Dental caries (cavities), described as "tooth decay", is an infectious disease which damages the structures of teeth. [43] The disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, and infection. Dental caries has a long history, with evidence showing the disease was present in the Bronze, Iron, and Middle ages but also prior to the neolithic period. [44]

    About 86% of these cases involve a single extra tooth in the mouth, most commonly found in the maxilla, where the incisors are located. [66] Hyperdontia is believed to be associated with an excess of dental lamina. Dilaceration is an abnormal bend found on a tooth, and is nearly always associated with trauma that moves the developing tooth bud.

  7. Microdontia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdontia

    A single tooth is smaller than normal. [3] Localized microdontia is far more common than generalized microdontia, [2] and is often associated with hypodontia (reduced number of teeth). [1] The most commonly involved tooth in localized microdontia is the maxillary lateral incisor, which may also be shaped like an inverted cone (a "peg lateral"). [3]

  8. Dental extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_extraction

    Dental extraction forceps commonly used on teeth in the maxillary arch. Extractions are often categorized as "simple" or "surgical". Simple extractions are performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth, usually with the patient under local anaesthetic, and require only the use of instruments to elevate and/or grasp the visible portion of the ...

  9. Atraumatic restorative treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atraumatic_restorative...

    Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) [1] is a method for cleaning out tooth decay (dental caries) from teeth using only hand instruments (dental hatchet and spoon-excavator) and placing a filling. It does not use rotary dental instruments ( dental drills ) to prepare the tooth and can be performed in settings with no access to dental equipment.
