Teeth

Teeth are an essential part of the human body, primarily used for biting, chewing, and breaking down food. They also play a significant role in speech and facial aesthetics. Here's an overview:

Types of Teeth

1. Incisors: Sharp, flat teeth at the front of the mouth, used for cutting food.

2. Canines: Pointed teeth next to the incisors, used for tearing food.

3. Premolars: Located behind the canines, used for crushing and grinding food.

4. Molars: Found at the back of the mouth, they are the largest teeth, designed for grinding food.

Structure of Teeth

1. Enamel: The hard, outer layer that protects the tooth.

2. Dentin: Lies beneath the enamel, supporting it and transmitting sensations.

3. Pulp: The inner part containing nerves and blood vessels.

4. Cementum: Covers the tooth root and helps anchor it in place.

Dental Care Tips

1. Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.

2. Floss regularly to remove food particles and plaque between teeth.

3. Avoid sugary foods and drinks to prevent cavities.

4. Visit a dentist for regular checkups and cleanings.

Dental Bibs

 

Rs. 2750/-  per cartoon ( 500 pieces)

In a cartoon, 

2- Ply Tissue + 1- Ply Poly=500 pieces.  

Size of each pieces = 33CM x45.5CM

Dental bibs are protective coverings used during dental procedures to keep the patient clean and dry. They shield the patient from water, saliva, and other debris that might occur during treatments. Here are key details about dental bibs:

Features of Dental Bibs

1. Material:

Typically made from a combination of paper and polyethylene (plastic).

The paper layer absorbs moisture, while the plastic backing prevents leakage.

2. Design:

Rectangular in shape, usually with an adjustable clip or chain to secure around the neck.

Lightweight and disposable for hygiene purposes.

3. Uses:

Protects clothing from stains and contamination.

Maintains a clean environment during dental cleanings, fillings, surgeries, or orthodontic treatments.

4. Variety:

Available in different colors and sizes to suit patient needs and clinic preferences.

Some come with patterns or additional absorbent layers for extra comfort.

Dental Implant

A dental implant is a surgical component placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. It acts as an artificial root and provides support for crowns, bridges, or dentures, mimicking the look and function of natural teeth.

Components of a Dental Implant:

1. Implant Fixture:

• Titanium or zirconia screw placed into the jawbone.
• Biocompatible to integrate with bone (osseointegration).

2. Abutment:

• Connector between the implant and the prosthetic tooth.
• Made of metal or ceramic.

3. Crown/Prosthetic:

• The visible tooth replacement attached to the abutment.
• Designed to match natural teeth in shape and color.

Types of Dental Implants:

1.  Endosteal Implants: Most common type.Placed directly into the jawbone.
2.  Subperiosteal Implants:Positioned under the gum but above the jawbone.Used for patients with insufficient bone who cannot undergo bone grafting.
3. Zygomatic Implants:Anchored in the cheekbone.An alternative for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw.

Dental Implant Procedure:

1. Initial Assessment:X-rays or CT scans to evaluate bone structure.Treatment planning and consultation.
2. Implant Placement:The implant fixture is surgically placed into the jawbone.Healing period (3-6 months) allows osseointegration.
3. Abutment Placement:Once the implant integrates, the abutment is attached.
4.  Crown Attachment:A custom prosthetic tooth is fixed to the abutment.

Benefits:

• Natural appearance and function.

• Long-lasting and durable (can last decades with proper care).

• Prevents bone loss by stimulating the jawbone.

• No impact on adjacent teeth (unlike bridges).

Considerations:

• Requires good oral hygiene and healthy gums.

• Not suitable for patients with uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, or severe bone loss without additional treatments.

• Higher initial cost compared to other tooth replacement options.
