Какво представлява микропротезирането? С какво то е по-добро от обикковеното протезиране?
Микропротезирането е съвременната алтернатива на класическото пломбиране. Микропротезирането е смяната на увредените или липсващи части на зъба с вкладки и накладки. Тези конструкции от различни керамични или композиционни материали се приготвят по точен модел в специална лаборатория и се фиксират в обработената плоскост на зъба със специални съставки.
Един от най-важните елементи за зъбния емайл - Флуор (f)

Флуорът е свързан основно с развитието на зъбите, формирането на
дентина и зъбния емайл. В зъбите концентрацията му достига до 250-550
мг/кг. Значително е количеството му и в костното вещество – 200-500 мг/кг. В мускулите той е по-слабо проявен – 2-3 мг/кг.
Флуорът има голямо значение за здравите зъби на индивида. Отлагането му
в зъбния емайл става основно в детска възраст, когато се образуват и
оформят постоянните зъби.
Цветът на зъбите не е просто част от тяхната визия, а променя
съществено визуалното възприемане на лицето. Цветът е пряко свързан с
формата и я определя. Така по-тъмните зъби създават „оптическа илюзия“
за по-дребни зъби, като се засилват тъмните участъци между самите тях,
дефектите стават по-видими, така дори и леките размествания, особено
във видимата предна зона, стават осезаеми.
Bad Breath: Discovering the Causes Leads to Solutions

The problem of bad breath has been around for thousands of years. It
was written about in the Jewish Talmud, ancient Greek and Roman
literature; and as early as 850 AD, Islamic literature offered some
explanation for the origin of the teeth as well as "fetid breath."
This age-old problem has numerous causes, but in an estimated 85
percent of the cases, the odor originates from the mouth. In the
remainder of the cases, the nose, tonsils, and other ailments
contribute to bad breath. Treatment for bad breath must address the
source of the problem.
Dental problems, including broken teeth that trap food, infected teeth
that abscess, and untreated periodontal (gum) disease are the most
likely causes of bad breath.
Bad breath is a sensitive subject, and can affect a person’s self
esteem. There are many potential causes, but about 85 percent of the
time, the mouth is the source. When the mouth is the cause of bad
breath, food, oral habits and dental health should be examined first.
Foods or beverages such as garlic, onions and coffee, and habits such
as smoking and chewing tobacco can contribute to bad breath. Dental
problems, including broken teeth that trap food, infected teeth that
abscess, and untreated periodontal (gum) disease are the most likely
causes of bad breath. Another potential source of bad breath is the
type of bacteria in our mouths. A recent study reveals that certain
bacteria may be associated with fresh and bad breath.

Q: Cracked teeth: How does it happen?
A: When we crack or chip our teeth, we often blame it on eating the
wrong foods, such as sticky candy or popcorn. But in fact, the food may
not be entirely responsible for the fracture. Sticky candy may
accelerate the crack, but the tooth may have fractured because of its
weakened condition. For example, a tooth with a large existing
restoration in it -- such as a filling or root canal -- is weaker than
a tooth that has not been restored.
There are a number of reasons why a tooth may crack, including tooth
decay, trauma or injury, a weakened tooth structure, grinding of the
teeth or a stress fracture. In some cases, the tooth simply can't
withstand the strong muscles of the jaw and will fracture when an
individual bites down on food. One way to protect the teeth from trauma
is to wear a mouthguard during sports. Your dentist can fit you with a
custom mouthguard. Taking proper care of the teeth and regular visits
to the dentist will help keep your teeth in good shape.
People who have avoided dental care for many years and have already
lost most of their teeth will sometimes go to a dentist and ask for all
of their remaining teeth to be extracted. Their teeth are often broken
and have deep cavities, and the situation seems hopeless. In some
cases, removal of all the remaining teeth and replacement with full
dentures is the only option. More often, however, some or all of the
remaining teeth can be repaired and used in conjunction with a partial
denture. A full denture is a removable device that replaces all of the
teeth on the upper or lower jaw, and a partial denture replaces some of
the teeth.
Missing teeth -- a common dilemma for many people who have had teeth
removed because of extensive cavities, gum disease, injuries, and those
who may never have developed some of their teeth due to a heredity
trait. Missing teeth can often be a source of embarrassment as it can
also affect a person’s quality of life.
Some of the problems associated with lost teeth include difficulty
eating or chewing (hard foods can get painfully jammed into the gum),
speech problems, and also cause the adjacent teeth to shift. When these
teeth shift, they can create further cosmetic problems and also become
more susceptible to cavities, bite problems and gum disease. With all
of these potential problems, it’s good to know the pros and cons of
some of the most common solutions that your dentist can offer for
replacing missing teeth.
Most people know that calcium is an important mineral that helps keep
our bones strong. Ninety-nine percent of the calcium in the body is
stored in the bones and teeth; the remaining one percent circulates in
the bloodstream and is necessary for muscles to contract, blood to clot
and nerves to carry their messages. Calcium intake is well known for
its ability to help prevent the damaging effects of osteoporosis, but
may also help limit bone loss around the tooth roots caused by
periodontal (gum) disease.
