When the crown of the tooth is badly damaged (for example, by caries, or due to trauma), the question often arises of removing the roots of the tooth. It may also happen that a cyst or granuloma formed at the top of the tooth root due to the inflammatory process - in such situations it is sometimes possible to save the tooth from removal by resection of the root apex, or even the entire diseased root has to be amputated. We’ll talk more about what is useful to know about tooth root removal: we’ll see when, in general, root removal is required, what can you expect in the office of a dentist-surgeon and what problems sometimes arise during the procedure ...
When it is no longer possible to save a tooth, it becomes necessary to remove it. It would seem that removing is not a cure, which means that this service should not cost too much. However, not everything is so simple, and in reality the price for removing “complex” teeth in individual clinics can reach 10–20 thousand rubles (especially when it comes to removing retinated wisdom teeth). Meanwhile, removing any tooth today is practically free. Why is there such a difference and, in general, what factors affect the cost of tooth extraction? Let's figure it out ...
When certain problems start with a wisdom tooth, a person often faces a difficult choice - either try to conduct an expensive tooth treatment (and not always with a guaranteed positive result), or remove it in order to avoid the development of serious complications. Meanwhile, there are a number of very clear criteria that allow us to make the right decision regarding the preservation or extraction of wisdom teeth - we will talk about this in more detail later ...
Generally speaking, for any reason, any tooth can be retarded, but most often we are talking about eights - wisdom teeth. Be that as it may, retention of the tooth (that is, difficult eruption) often causes a person very serious problems. About whether there are ways to help the retined tooth to erupt normally without resorting to removal, as well as how to protect yourself from purulent inflammation and in what cases you need to get rid of the tooth as soon as possible - we'll talk about all this in more detail ...
Without exaggeration, we can say that Israeli implants Alpha BIO are today one of the most widely used in Russia. And one of the main reasons for this is the rather low price, which starts at 20,000 rubles for installing one implant, which is very inexpensive by modern standards. But what is hidden behind such a low price - is it possible to count on an acceptable level of quality of Alpha BIO implants and how much can they serve on average? Let's figure it out ...
German-made XiVE dental implants have been on the Russian market for a long time - this brand belongs to the premium segment and, accordingly, a pretty tidy amount will have to be paid for installing such implants. However, is there any tangible difference between expensive XiVE and implants, for example, the middle price category? And are German implants really as good in practice as advertisements say - let's figure it out ...
If you believe the advertising of dental clinics, the average life of dental implants is almost 20-30 years, or even the whole life of the patient. However, in fact, the clinic’s guarantee for installed implants is usually given only for a couple of years, and therefore, a completely logical question arises: what, in fact, accounts for such a significant difference in terms? Let's see how many dental implants can actually serve, what factors influence this and what the patient can do to avoid undesirable problems within a couple of years after implantation ...
Currently, minimally invasive methods of dental implants are gaining popularity. Moreover, individual clinics have gone further and are already actively promoting non-surgical implantation of teeth, which is supposedly carried out without gum cuts and even almost bloodless. But how is this possible? How can an implant, which is essentially a titanium screw, be inserted into the jaw bone, covered with soft gum tissue, without surgery? We’ll talk about how not to confuse advertising tricks with the actual state of things ...
Some people mistakenly believe that dental implants are harmful to health and not all lucky ones take root well. And how many horror stories about this topic on the Internet can’t be counted: they say that implants for the maxillary sinus sometimes pierce due to a medical error, and a titanium screw can go out into the nasal cavity, the orbit of the eye is sometimes damaged, and terrible inflammations develop with the gangrene of the jaw. But what is the actual situation like - can implant placement really harm the patient’s health? Let's figure it out ...
Over the years, it was believed that the chances of a successful outcome of dental implantation in patients with periodontitis and periodontal disease are generally small - the decrease in bone tissue and the presence of foci of infection in neighboring teeth created high risks of rejection of the implantable structure. However, the successes of modern dentistry have made their own corrections, and today the main question is only in what clinical situations these or other technologies and implant systems can be used to maximize treatment success and minimize complication risks ...
