  2. Occlusal trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusal_trauma

    In primary occlusal trauma, the cause of the mobility was the excessive force being applied to a tooth with an adequate attachment apparatus. The approach should be to eliminate the cause of the pain and mobility by determining the causes and removing them; the mobile tooth or teeth will soon cease exhibiting mobility.

  3. Periodontal abscess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_abscess

    The main symptom is pain, which often suddenly appears, and is made worse by biting on the involved tooth, which may feel raised and prominent in the bite. The tooth may be mobile, and the lesion may contribute to destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. [4] The pain is deep and throbbing.

  4. Canine tooth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_tooth

    The sabre-tooth water deer of China is often called the vampire deer due to the exceptionally long canine teeth in the males. In many species the canine teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or in both jaws, are much larger in males than in females, where they are sometimes hidden or completely absent.

  5. Toothache - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothache

    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.

  6. Periapical periodontitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_periodontitis

    It is a likely outcome of untreated dental caries (tooth decay), and in such cases it can be considered a sequela in the natural history of tooth decay, irreversible pulpitis and pulpal necrosis. Other causes can include occlusal trauma due to 'high spots' after restoration work, extrusion from the tooth of root filling material, or bacterial ...

  7. Condensing osteitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensing_osteitis

    This condition arises as a response to dental infections, such as periapical pulp inflammation or low-intensity trauma. The lesion typically appears as a radiopacity in the periapical area due to the sclerotic reaction. While most commonly associated with non-vital teeth, condensing osteitis can also occur in vital teeth following occlusal trauma.

  8. Pericoronitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericoronitis

    The presence of dental plaque or infection beneath an inflamed operculum without other obvious causes of pain will often lead to a pericoronitis diagnosis; therefore, elimination of other pain and inflammation causes is essential. For pericoronal infection to occur, the affected tooth must be exposed to the oral cavity, which can be difficult ...

  9. Maxillary canine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxillary_canine

    For this tooth, the left and right canines would have the same number, "3", but the right is designated with the symbol "┘" under the number, and the left one likewise with "└". The international notation has a different numbering system from the other two, and the right permanent maxillary canine is known as "13" and the left "23".
