About 90% of the most common forms of diseases affecting the teeth and gums (caries, gingivitis and their consequences), are caused by microorganisms commonly found in the mouth and can therefore be kept under control through proper oral hygiene. The remaining 10% concerns about cancer (for which the key is early diagnosis), trauma and iatrogenic disease, or carelessness, negligence and imparities doctors. The mouth is a complex ecosystem in which thrive more than a hundred species of microorganisms, tiny living things that are born, they feed, breed, emit waste and die. Most of them are saprophytic that is essentially harmless. Under certain conditions, however, can become harmful.
What is the relationship between prevention, gingivitis, cavities and tooth care in Orthodontics?
The Orthodontics is the branch in dentistry that deals with the proper positioning and alignment of the teeth and then face the aesthetics. The movements are performed in dental tissue compared periodontal, surfaces of the temporomandibular jaw and occlusal relationships (gear teeth).
Among the ‘teeth Sortie’ is easier than the food it clogs constitute an excellent pasture for oral microorganisms with the consequences already considered. Hence the need for Orthodontic treatment.
The possible consequences of caries and gingivitis. The care of teeth
When the caries is approaching or meeting the dental pulp, micro-organisms penetrate into the pulp chamber. Through the channel within reach of the root and, in a changeable weather, more than the apex of the root to invade the bone and surrounding tissues to cause the so-called abscess or, in case of more serious infection can invade all the body until the septicemia. Then a caries not treated can lead to complications such as pain, the abscess, fever, the apex granule, the cysts odontogena up to serious diseases that can affect the whole body just as septicemia, rheumatic disease that attacks the heart valves, the glomerulonephritis (a load of the kidneys), the iridociclite (charged to the eye). A constant and proper oral hygiene therefore not only reduces costs direct and indirect economic but also cancels the tremendous burden of fear and pain that, in a perspective of prevention, it is not only easily preventable but frankly unnecessary.
