Root Canal Treatment What is Root Canal Treatment? Root canal treatment is applied to decaying or infected teeth, and the tooth is repaired and made healthier. It is among the treatment methods that allow the tooth to be saved and may take a little longer. It is a fact that dental caries is of vital importance over time in the processes that are not treated. ​ Therefore, in order to prevent more severe pain, it is necessary to go through the control of the dentist. In case of need, root canal treatment should be performed, the problem should be eliminated and the tooth should be repaired. In root canal treatment, first of all, the hard tissue is entered. Then, the root canal is reached and the soft tissue is intervened. ​ The tooth nerve called pulp is expelled. In this way, the problem that occurs in the inner part of the tooth is eliminated and its cleaning is ensured. Why is Root Canal Treatment Done? Tooth decay is not a dental problem to be taken lightly. If it is not intervened, it is necessary to take precautions because it can cause serious discomfort. Tooth decay reaches the dental nerve over time and causes pain. As a result of cracking or breaking the tooth, it also causes damage to the face. ​ As a result, the tooth may become infected or inflamed. In case of damage to the dental nerve or dental pulp, bacteria begin to spread around the tooth. This bacterium multiplies and grows over time. ​ Problems such as bacteria and tooth decay cause abscess formation or an increase in infection. In such cases, it is seen that the pain increases day by day. Severe pain disturbs the person, and based on this situation, root canal treatment is performed to prevent the problem. In this way, the tooth is repaired and the problem is prevented and the pain is eliminated. In which situations is root canal therapy applied? A carious tooth problem usually brings about very serious damage and causes pain. Over time, these cause facial paralysis and trauma. To be more descriptive and for the treatment to be applicable, dental x-rays are taken. Root canal treatment is considered appropriate for decayed teeth with deep external fractures. ​ Things to Consider After Root Canal Treatment A little more care should be taken after root canal treatment. Because the formation of infection in the tooth causes pain. Therefore, the intake of crusty or hard foods should be avoided. It is very important not to take these foods for a while and not to damage the tooth. ​ Routine oral and dental cleaning should be done during the day. It is useful to consider the situations that will cause tooth sensitivity and act accordingly. Teeth should be brushed for two minutes twice a day. ​ The use of dental floss is beneficial in order to prevent infection after the root canal treatment. In this way, it is easier to remove the residues entering the tooth space. Avoiding the consumption of sugary or coloring foods, sticky and acidic foods and not taking them for a while will give healthier results. The medications recommended by the specialist must be taken regularly. ​ What are the Alternatives to Root Canal Treatment? When viewed, 90% effective results are obtained with root canal treatment. Since the decayed tooth problem is repaired in this way, the formation of infection is prevented. After the treatment, the occurrence of pain or the occurrence of traumatic events is prevented. There is no dental nerve problem for a lifetime. ​ Correct preservation of natural teeth at all times; It is a healthier condition for the mouth. The most effective results of root canal treatment are repaired without tooth loss. In this way, it is ensured that the natural tooth is taken under control without the application of artificial teeth. ​ What should be done after root canal treatment? It is absolutely necessary to follow the instructions given by the dentist after the root canal treatment. In this way, the successful outcome of the treatment and the problems that may occur are prevented. In the treatment method to repair the tooth, situations that will cause sensitivity after the procedure should be avoided. Consumption of excessive cold and excessive heat can damage the tooth. ​ Depending on the size of the caries problem in the tooth, the formation of infection occurs. The size of this infection is usually painful. It should be known that the root canal treatment is not caused by pain. For this reason, attention is paid to the regular use of the drugs recommended by the dentist. ​ Eating and drinking is suspended for a while. Especially avoiding crusty and hard foods should be helped to complete the treatment correctly. Treatment alone is not effective. The patient also plays a big role and by following the instructions, he gets effective results. ​ How Many Sessions Does Root Canal Treatment Take? The duration of root canal treatment is a subject that varies from person to person. Because the operation is performed according to the number of roots of the tooth. Infections in root canals and nerve cleaning cause time change. The size of the tooth infection can take longer to cure and in some cases for weeks. ​ There is a limitation of the duration of each root canal treatment to 30-90 minutes. Here, if there is an infection, it must first be cleaned and medication applied. It is necessary to wait a week for the drug to take effect. ​ At the end of a week, the treatment is completed with the completion of the root canal treatment. It is possible to say that this can be resolved in 2-3 sessions. ​ Does Root Canal Treatment Hurt? Pain formation during the procedure varies completely depending on the infection in the tooth. Depending on the infection in the tooth, root canal treatment is painful or painless. However, local anesthesia is applied before the procedure in order to relieve the patient and as a requirement of the medical procedure. ​ With local anesthesia, the area to be treated is anesthetized. Since it shows the numbing effect, there is no feeling of pain. Since problems such as pity do not arise, it is done with peace of mind and does not harm the person. ​ How Does Root Canal Treatment Pain Go? Caries in the tooth cause tooth loss over time. It brings the emergence of very serious pain in the patient before tooth loss. Since pain causes facial paralysis and trauma, it should not be perceived as just a dental problem. Because a toothache can bring unexpected results. ​ This problem is eliminated by the examination of the dentist. Pain does not occur with local anesthesia before root canal treatment. However, as the local anesthesia begins to lose its effect, the pain manifests itself according to the size of the infection in the tooth. In order to relieve these pains, the medications recommended by the dentist should be taken regularly. Medicines can be sold without a prescription. This is an effective and correct method. ​ This is not the case with the root canal treatment method performed here. Because the tooth nerve is removed and the tooth infection is eliminated. It is repaired because it remains in the mouth. As the tooth problem is resolved, the tooth regains its former functions. After this process, it is necessary to pay more attention to oral and dental health. ​ In this way, since the formation of dental problems is prevented and the problems are eliminated, the tooth is used for a long time. As long as no other problems arise, it continues to do its job for the mouth. ​ Will I Feel Pain During Root Canal Treatment? It is very rare to experience pain during root canal treatment. Because local anesthesia is applied before the procedure to perform the medical procedure. In this way, the tooth is anesthetized and the problem is resolved before pain occurs. ​ Local anesthesia also shows its effect after the procedure. Pain may occur as it loses its effect over time. Pain can be prevented by taking the medications recommended by the dentist. ​ I Had Root Canal Treatment But I Still Have Pain In My Tooth, Why? Root canal treatment is known as a painful treatment. This situation varies according to the formation of infection in the tooth and the damage to the tooth. In fact, under normal conditions, pain does not occur. Because here, local anesthesia is applied to the patient before the procedure. ​ With local anesthesia, pain does not appear both during and after the procedure. The cause of the pain felt varies according to the size of the infection in the tooth. To prevent painful situations that may occur; It is recommended to use the medicines recommended by the dentist regularly. In this way, pain relief and treatment can be controlled.

There are many causes of jaw joint deterioration. However, these include clenching teeth (bruxism), using the jaw badly and harshly, and chewing gum.

In this section, where the treatment of patients in all age ranges is applied; Patients with problems such as difficulty chewing or biting, difficulty swallowing, jaw joint problems and tooth wear are also taken care of. What Diseases Does Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery Treat? Problems that are very common among maxillofacial surgery patients; It is usually noticed by difficulty in biting, chewing or swallowing problems. The patient should also be examined by specialist physicians in cases of dental wear, abrasion and jawbone problems. ​ Finding and solving the sources of problems such as snoring, difficulties in noisy breathing and snoring are also included in the scope of this section. Related treatments within the scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery are: ​ Normal and surgical tooth extractions, Diagnosis and treatment of jaw cysts and tumors, Bone augmentation, Extraction of impacted and complicated teeth, Diagnosis and treatment of infections in the mouth, jaw and face, Diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue areas in the mouth, Treatment of fractures in the jaw and face area, Treatment of dental intraosseous lesions, Root tip resections, Surgical correction of hard and soft tissues before dental prosthesis construction, Treatment of cleft lip and palate, Medical and surgical treatment of salivary gland diseases, Surgical treatment of deformities that cause aesthetic and functional disorders, Implant applications, Treatment of bone necrosis in the jaw due to drugs and radiotherapy applied during cancer treatment is performed. ​ Treatments Applied in Our Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery Department Clinic Congenital or acquired maxillofacial abnormalities, implant placement, implant surgery, Positioning bone grafts in jawbones where there is not enough space for the implant, Treatment of cleft palate and lip, embedded tooth extraction, Jawbone cyst treatment procedures are applied. What are the Problems That May Occur If Jaw Bone Cysts Are Not Treated? Cavities containing liquid or semi-liquid and covered with soft tissue are called cysts. Small enough to be seen only with a microscope, these bacteria are found in the mouth at all hours of the day. ​ If the number of bacteria in the mouth exceeds a certain rate, this situation begins to damage the mouth structure, creating various wounds and swellings in the mouth. As a result of these symptoms, the patient is diagnosed with a jawbone cyst by specialist physicians who have developed themselves in the field of oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery. ​ Jaw cysts, which can be treated with surgery, grow slowly and unnoticed. As long as the patient delays the treatment, pain and swelling may occur, as well as numbness and burning due to nerve compression. Since this situation will affect the daily life of the patient, treatment should be started as soon as possible. Even if the cysts do not cause any discomfort to the patient, they must be treated. ​ Jaw cysts can be benign or malignant, as in any cyst. Cysts that may appear benign at first have the risk of turning into malignant cysts later on. This causes serious weakening of the jaw muscles. Oral care should be done without interruption in order to prevent the formation of cysts. ​ Some of the main problems that may arise in cases where the jaw cyst is not treated are as follows: The cyst grows insidiously over time without the patient noticing and weakens the jawbone. The jawbone becomes breakable with the slightest blow. Jaw cysts, which also occur due to impacted teeth, can also affect healthy neighboring teeth and cause tooth loss. Health cannot be neglected, and as with any disease, early diagnosis saves lives. ​ What Complications Can Cause Impacted Teeth? Impacted teeth are teeth that have not erupted or have not erupted where they should have come out in the mouth. The teeth may remain buried under the skin due to factors such as the thickness of the gingiva, the absence of a tooth eruption area, and genetic factors. As long as the impacted teeth are not extracted, the pressure applied to the adjacent teeth can cause infection and cause tooth decay. These teeth may also need to be extracted for orthodontic reasons. As the tooth tries to come out, slipping and deformity of the teeth may occur due to the application of pushing on the teeth in the front. Extraction of impacted teeth is performed by advanced oral, dental and maxillofacial surgeons. The patient can return to his daily life immediately after the procedure. Various complications may occur in case of not using or disrupting the prescription drugs to be given by the physician. In some patients, the tooth may remain embedded in sufficient empty spaces in the jawbone. In this case, if the impacted tooth does not harm the patient and the adjacent teeth, there is no need for surgical intervention. ​ What are Implant Applications? What are the Benefits? An implant is an artificially produced tooth root. Implant made of titanium and alloys; As a treatment method, it is often used to fill the cavity of decayed and extracted teeth. Since the jawbone will accept the titanium as a part of the body, the recovery period is short and the permanence period is long. ​ Implant application, which is preferred by many patients, is performed by oral, dental and maxillofacial surgeons. The reason why this treatment method is used so frequently is that it offers a wide range of treatment methods to patients with missing or no teeth. The advantages of the implant treatment method compared to traditional treatment methods are quite high. One of the biggest advantages of this method is that it never harms the surrounding teeth during or after the application. Implant teeth, which are close to the natural tooth appearance, give the person an aesthetic and healthy appearance. ​ If oral care is done regularly, implant teeth provide a lifetime of use. This care is quite simple and should be added to the patient's daily oral care routine after treatment. Teeth should be brushed regularly and correctly twice a day, and then between teeth should be cleaned with dental floss to ensure that food residues are removed. ​ The main advantages of implant treatment are: fluent speech, Perfect tooth root Confidence, oral health, Durability, It provides ease of eating. How is Implant Treatment Applied? Implant treatment is a very simple and painless procedure in today's technology. Since anesthesia will be applied during the treatment, the patient will not feel any pain. The type of anesthesia is decided by physicians who are experts in the field of oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery after the patient is examined. As a result of the joint decision of the patient and the physician, anesthesia is applied generally or locally. Titanium screws, that is, implants with artificial tooth roots, which can be used for a long time, are placed in the jawbone of the patient, who is prepared for the operation. It takes about 10-15 minutes to make each implant. ​ Fusion to the jawbone so that the placed implants can replace the real tooth root it needs. This period takes place between 3 and 6 months depending on the bone structure. In this process, the implants fuse with the jawbone and become ready for the next procedure. ​ In the process of union, the patient; He should pay attention to his diet, reduce the use of alcohol and cigarettes. Because the use of these substances prevents the implant from fusing with the jawbone and accordingly the implant may be lost. ​ After the patient recovers, the implants are able to lift the prosthetic tooth and permanent prosthesis is applied. Any patient with a suitable gap in the mouth and jawbone can have implant treatment. However, in some patients, there may not be enough free space for implantation. In such cases, a suitable area is created for implant placement in the patient with advanced surgical methods. ​ People with diseases such as high blood pressure and hemophilia should be treated with an implant procedure together with their doctors. Likewise, if a disease that will prevent healing, such as diabetes, is controlled with drugs, there will be no problem in the application of implant treatment. ​ What is Tooth Extraction? Tooth extraction is the extraction of unhealthy teeth that cannot be cured as a result of damage to one or more teeth. This procedure is performed by specialist dentists or oral, dental and maxillofacial surgeons, under local anesthesia or various sedation applications. ​ Milk teeth fall out over time and are replaced by permanent teeth, and these permanent teeth can remain on the jawbone for a lifetime. People apply to specialist physicians to have their sequential teeth extracted due to various ailments. For orthodontic treatments, teeth that disrupt the oral structure and impair the tooth structure by applying pressure to the neighboring teeth should be extracted. ​ After tooth extraction, the patient can continue his daily life from where he left off. However, they should not consume hot food and drink for 24 hours, and should not use alcohol and cigarettes. ​ What is Impacted Tooth Extraction? Teeth that cannot come out because they do not have enough space or cannot come into the right position are called impacted teeth. Mostly, 20-year-old teeth have impacted teeth problems. However, in some cases, there is a possibility of impacted teeth that are not wisdom teeth. ​ Teeth that have stopped protruding from the gums may in some cases come out halfway and then stop coming out. Since the structure of each impacted tooth is different, different treatment methods should be applied to the individual. The most effective treatment method for teeth that press on other teeth, move in the jawbone and do not come out spontaneously is surgical intervention. ​ The extraction of impacted teeth, which gives pain to the patient over time, is performed by oral, dental and maxillofacial surgeons. One of the main reasons why impacted teeth cause pain is the application of general pressure in the mouth and the compression of healthy teeth, as there is no place to come out. ​ The treatment is given to the patient after local anesthesia and takes approximately 45 minutes – 1 hour. If the patient uses the painkillers given by the doctor after tooth extraction, he will start to heal without any pain. The recovery period is an average of 7 days. ​ Impacted tooth symptoms are as follows: Bleeding in the mouth, teeth or gums, gum sensitivity, Pain in the jaw and ear, Swelling that may occur in the lymph nodes, Headache, bad breath, Difficulty opening the mouth It can be seen in the form of pain when chewing or biting food. What are the Advantages of Quadruple Implant Treatment? Implant treatment is applied to the patient to fill the gaps caused by tooth loss and various reasons. However, the treatment of people who have lost many teeth or are edentulous can be very long and costly. With this method, instead of using a single implant for each missing tooth, four implants are used at the top and four at the bottom. The quadruple implant application technique is applied to patients who have no teeth. This treatment is used to fix the prosthesis with 4-6 implants; It is a simple, painless, effective and affordable method. Bone losses are usually at the back of the patients' jaws, and therefore this application can be performed on the anterior jawbone.

Then, the teeth are handled in terms of shape and size and the appropriate tooth alignment is provided for the mouth structure. A healthy appearance is created by making necessary arrangements in the gums. For this reason, the procedures performed on the teeth are called white aesthetics, and the aesthetic procedures on the gums are called pink aesthetics. In the most ideal smile design, white and pink aesthetics should complement each other. ​ In aesthetic smile design, the whole process is transparently reported to the patient from the beginning to the end. The patient is informed about all procedures, changes and developments. In this design, progress is made in line with the demands of the patients. In these applications, not only an aesthetic appearance is provided, but also many dental problems are eliminated. With the aesthetic smile design, the patient becomes self-confident and can easily smile in the society. ​ Things to Consider Before Making a Decision for Aesthetic Dentistry Everyone knocks on the door of aesthetic dentistry to have a beautiful smile. In order to achieve an aesthetic tooth appearance, the patient must be disciplined and patient. Before starting these procedures, there are some situations that the patient should know and consider. Many aesthetic dental applications are not covered by insurance. No matter how permanent this process is, it should be repeated within 10 or 15 years. Aesthetic dentistry can provide an aesthetic appearance and smile, but it cannot completely change your mouth structure. It is necessary to approach the treatment realistically and keep the expectation accordingly. In addition, the physician may be asked to approach with a transparent treatment approach throughout the process. It is necessary to be aware of every development and change. No matter how correct and perfect the treatment is, the continuity of the aesthetic appearance after the treatment depends on the patient's effort. ​ Aesthetic dental applications are not a one-session treatment. The duration of treatment is determined according to the patient's dental problems and needs. It would be beneficial for the patient to be aware of this. The patient's approval must also be obtained for the models and designs created for aesthetic appearance. For this reason, information about the treatment process and development should be requested from your doctor. You can observe the processes applied for aesthetic appearance by following the technological developments. ​ What are the Methods Used in Aesthetic Dentistry? Recently, applications to the field of aesthetic dentistry have increased due to appearance other than dental diseases. The teeth and mouth area is the most noticeable area in our body. The way we smile in social life is very important for us. Tooth color and the order of the teeth are the factors that affect our smile. Aesthetic dentists create the desired appearance in the patient with various treatments and techniques. Aesthetic dentistry applications are quite extensive. Gums get a healthy appearance with gum shaping, especially with smile design. One of the biggest problems here is the overgrowth of the gums. With permanent aesthetics, the gums are brought to the desired form. ​ Teeth whitening is a method applied to almost every patient in aesthetic dentistry. All teeth are whitened in the same tone without damaging the enamel of the teeth. Thus, the patient will have white and bright teeth. ​ With composite bonding applications, tooth enamel is hardened with a high-intensity beam device. At the end of the application, the problematic teeth and surrounding teeth complement each other and create a bright appearance. It is inevitable to perform the filling process in teeth that are free of dental caries. Inlay and onlay fillings made of composite and porcelain materials are applied to the teeth. ​ These fillings are never noticed in the tooth and are in harmony with other teeth. Since it is porcelain, its presence and absence in the mouth can never be distinguished. Porcelain laminates are an aesthetic process that is applied by sticking only the front surfaces of the teeth. ​ Porcelain laminate veneers are applied if there are differences in color and shape between the teeth and if there is no need for orthodontic applications due to distortion. It is a very easy dental restoration process applied for those who are uncomfortable with the appearance of their front teeth. Many people experience tooth loss problems. Implants are applied in order for the place of tooth loss to function as a natural tooth root into the jawbon commemorates. Thus, a young smile is created in the face. ​ In Which Situations Is Aesthetic Dentistry Applied? At the request of the person, aesthetic dentistry can be applied to almost everyone. It is applied due to the presence of teeth that are broken due to impacts and bruises, especially teeth that change color over time. If there is an irregular and crooked tooth structure, this method can be applied. Aesthetic dentistry is also applied due to the correction of the deformity of the tooth structure. In addition, this method is also used in cases of appearance disorder in the gums. Aesthetic appearance is provided by eliminating and treating many dental problems. It is frequently used to eliminate color, shape and position differences between teeth. The appearance of the gums and the aesthetic loss, which usually occurs as a result of gingival recession, are eliminated with this method. ​ It is inevitable to apply if there is a gap between the teeth. It is also applied to the application of aesthetic fillings in teeth that are free from caries. Broken and fragmented teeth are restored. It is also applied to replace tooth loss. Thus, a unity is provided between the teeth. ​ While providing an aesthetic appearance with aesthetic applications, problematic teeth are also treated. Many neglected dental problems arise in aesthetic dentistry. The main purpose of this application is to create harmony in terms of color and shape of the teeth. It is ensured that teeth and gums are cleaned from caries and plaques. In addition, decay-free teeth are restored to their former functions with the help of fillings. Teeth and gums are aligned at the same level and a uniformity is provided in terms of appearance. While performing all these procedures, the applications in the mouth and teeth take into account the facial features and the physical structure of the person. ​ What Can Be Done for Whiter Teeth? Although the desired appearance of the teeth is achieved with aesthetic dentistry, its continuity is in your hands. The most important factor affecting the appearance of teeth is tooth color. Teeth are a tissue that yellows and darkens quickly due to its structure. As everyone knows, teeth should be brushed at least twice a day and cleaned of dirt. However, the consumption of products such as cigarettes, coffee and tea that accelerate yellowing should be minimized. ​ The color of the teeth is a condition that affects our communication in terms of our social environment. For this reason, oral and dental hygiene should be done regularly without interruption. You can also brush your teeth with a mixture of lemon and baking soda without damaging the tooth enamel. ​ As a result of regular brushing, noticeable whiteness of the teeth can be observed. Mouthwashes prevent the formation of bacteria in the mouth. Thus, the occurrence of infection is minimized. It should not be forgotten that all these processes are effective as a result of regular application.

Oral Diagnosis and Radiology What is Oral Diagnosis? Oral Diagnosis and Radiology is a stage in which the unique conditions of patients, known as oral diagnosis, are evaluated. Patients who apply for any dental ailment are diagnosed and resolved here. ​ There are many types of treatments for dental problems. There may also be situations where more than one treatment is required for a patient. Correct planning of the treatment to be applied provides short-term treatment opportunities and efficient results. ​ It is very important to establish the diagnosis first in order to plan the treatment. Correct diagnosis and determination of the patient's problem occur during the first examination. After the diagnosis or the diagnosis of the disease, it is decided which treatment methods should be applied. Treatment planning is also done at this stage. For this reason, which treatment should be done first and for how long is decided by oral diagnosis and radiology. What is Radiology? Oral diagnosis and radiology using various technological tools determine the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. It is the most effective tool in the planning of treatments using imaging technologies. Radiology is used in almost every field where the disease is present. ​ The diagnosis of the disease is made by radiological examination. Radiology department uses multiple imaging tools to view the area of the disease. Radiology is the field where the first examination phase takes place and determines the method to be followed in the treatment of the disease. ​ Radiology is a medical specialty. It displays the internal structure of the body and the structure of the region where the problem will be found. It presents the internal structure of the body and the structure of the problem area by using radiation and high-frequency sound waves in order to diagnose the disease and determine its treatment. Radiologists, on the other hand, are doctors who are specialized in their field, who allow us to take these images and interpret the obtained image. ​ Radiology serves more than one department. All fields of medicine refer to radiology for the detection of disease. The diagnosis and diagnosis of the disease is made with the images obtained by using devices such as ultrasound, x-ray and computed tomography. It is necessary to use imaging devices in order to make a comprehensive diagnosis in various diseases. The results of the findings and examinations made by this department are evaluated by specialist doctors. ​ Radiology is often used in diseases such as cancer, where details need to be followed closely. In addition, radiology is an indispensable method in cases where continuous examination is required, such as pregnancy. ​ It is a medical method that is absolutely used in the detailed examination of most diseases. This technology is used in almost every field of the healthcare industry. ​ It provides accurate diagnosis and clear diagnosis of many diseases in the field of health. All devices in the radiology department are used by radiologists. Diagnoses and diagnoses made by radiologists are interpreted by specialist physicians. At the same time, radiologists have a high level of anatomy and pathology knowledge. ​ What are Dental Films? Diseases that occur in the mouth and teeth can be easily detected by oral diagnosis and radiology. Dental films easily display invisible spots by displaying teeth, gums and jawbones that cannot be seen with clinical examination. With the help of radioactive rays, you can reach the image of even the smallest points. Before starting the treatment of each disease, dental films for diagnosis and diagnosis can be requested, as well as these films can be requested in determining and planning the treatment method. During and after the treatment, control is provided by the physicians with these visuals. Panoramic x-ray films are films in which all oral structures and teeth are displayed together. On the other hand, films in which teeth are viewed one by one are called periapical x-ray films. Thanks to these two films, both the problematic teeth are easily detected and the position of the disease in the mouth is determined. Problems that occur on the outer surface of the teeth can be observed by physicians. However, the problems that occur in the parts under the gums are known to be invisible to the naked eye. In addition, the use of dental films is inevitable in diseases of the roots under the jawbone. It is a medical method frequently requested by physicians for the diagnosis of most diseases before the first examination. X-rays are used in dental x-rays, as in other imaging tools. Oral diagnosis and radiology is a very helpful technique in diagnosis and determination of diagnosis. Thanks to dental x-rays, canal roots can be easily examined and cysts and abscesses in the mouth can be easily detected. Recently, dental development of children has been followed with dental films. Thus, it is possible to get the opportunity to intervene in problem areas early. Dental films are also used to determine the general condition applied to each patient by physicians. We see that it is applied in patients who require orthodontic treatment with cephalometric dental x-ray. These dental x-rays are x-rays that show the skull bones and soft tissues. All these procedures are performed by specialist doctors. What should we pay attention to in the examination as a patient? Many people experience toothache from time to time. In these cases, the source of the pain can be easily determined by oral diagnosis and radiology. Toothache is the most common dental problem in our society. The source of toothaches can be tooth decay, fractures, erosion of teeth and gums, impacted teeth can be the cause of toothache. Painkillers are a temporary solution to these pains and they are repeated after the pain. For this reason, we should definitely see dentists to find a permanent solution to pain. During the examination, we should clearly express our dental problem. We should give accurate information to dentists about our diet. You should listen carefully to the diagnosis of your dental problems during the examination and learn the treatment planning. It will be useful to get information about the positive and negative aspects of the treatment that the doctors will apply and include yourself in your decision-making process. Being disciplined and patient throughout the treatment gives the patient an advantage. Being in a state of panic may cause the result not to be as desired during the treatment phase. This is the process where oral care goes to the next level. More oral and dental hygiene than normal should be provided. It should not be forgotten that acidic and sugary foods are dental enemies, and the diet should be determined by considering dental and oral health. Foods that stick to the teeth and cause pain, such as chewing gum or candy, should be avoided. Consumption of hard and nuts should be avoided. Any food that can damage tooth enamel should be removed from our lives during the healing process. Seed fruits should not be taken directly into the mouth, but should be consumed separately. The crumbs left between the teeth that are not brushed regularly cause bacterial growth after a while and pave the way for the formation of infection in the mouth. When regular oral care is not provided, bleeding and inflammation of the teeth and gums may occur. When discipline is provided during and after the examination, you can reach the desired teeth and dental health. What should we pay attention to in the Radiology Clinic? In the ever-developing health fields, the use of many technological imaging devices such as oral diagnosis and radiology is becoming widespread. We refer to dentists for pain and dental problems. Dentists first ask questions to the patient to find out the source of the pain or problem. Every question asked by the physician to the patient must be answered correctly. Thus, the doctor works to determine the problem he learned from the patient. It should not be forgotten that incorrect information affects patient health and treatment negatively. Dentists use radiology technology in the diagnosis of most diseases. With the images to be obtained after radiology, the dental problem is detected and the treatment is decided in this way. One of the most important factors here is the patient's physician. ​ It is the correct orientation. This will prevent unnecessary waste of time. All metal products and jewelry must be removed in the head and neck region in line with the directions in the radiology clinic we go with the direction of the physician. If patients have in their mouths; removable removable dentures should be removed. In order to achieve healthy results as a result of imaging, it is necessary to meticulously follow the commands given by the radiologist. The treatment method is determined by the physician according to our teeth and mouth images from the radiology clinic. These x-rays are the only alternative to treatment planning for parts that are invisible to the naked eye. The biggest advantage of radiology and dental x-rays is the easy visualization of the root canal roots. It also displays the disorders in the structure of the jawbone in detail. ​ Can I Have a Radiograph While Pregnant? Oral diagnosis and radiology, which is one of the imaging methods we frequently use, is a technique used in the dental field. There are many imaging devices that also display the internal structure of our body. These devices emit radiation and reflect the effect of high frequency waves. For this reason, they can create a short-term negative effect on human health. It also has disadvantages for people with special conditions such as pregnancy. Pregnancy is a situation that requires extreme attention for both mother and baby. Exposure of the expectant mother to radiation due to any situation may adversely affect the pregnancy of the mother and the development of the baby. The development of the baby in the womb varies from week to week. Every week, the development of another organ is provided in the mother's womb. Radiographs taken for the diagnosis of the disease may cause health problems during pregnancy. A one-time X-ray procedure for diagnosis in the 2nd and 8th weeks of pregnancy does not harm the baby. ​ If the radiation rate received through X-ray is less than 15 mgy, it does not pose a risk and does not cause termination of pregnancy. However, if the radiation rate is more than 15 mgy, termination of pregnancy is brought to the agenda. During pregnancy, expectant mothers should be careful and follow the development of the baby meticulously. X-rays cause trouble even for normal people after a certain level. For this reason, expectant mothers should protect themselves not only from x-rays but also from devices with these x-rays in daily life. ​ Are X-Rays Used in Dentistry Radiology Harmful? X-rays for the diagnosis of ailments in the dental area are one of the indispensable methods of treatment. Dental radiographs are the best method for detecting problems in teeth and jaws. Radiographs are a method used by physicians to obtain images of invisible areas during the first examination. It helps to see the formation of caries between the teeth, to view the caries under the fillings and to view the tooth fractures and cracks. Bone losses and weaknesses caused by gingival diseases can only be detected by radiographic methods. The outer surfaces of the tooth roots can be seen with the naked eye. Unfortunately, the inner parts of the tooth roots cannot be seen with the naked eye. In particular, most of the orthodontic treatments can be planned using radiographic methods. ​ Regular follow-up of the child's mouth and tooth structure, which is constantly developing, is also provided by radiographic methods. The technique in which all teeth are displayed and the technique in which individual teeth are displayed can be applied together. With the guidance of the dentist, we can easily access the images of the clear tooth structure. ​ The amount of radiation received during a radiography is as much as staying in front of a computer for about 4 hours. The amount of radiation to be taken in a single shot is very small. In addition, the lead vest worn during radiation exposure prevents other organs from receiving unnecessary x-rays. With these measures, the least amount of radiation that can be taken is taken. The outside of the areas to be x-rayed is taken under protection. Many x-ray devices such as oral diagnosis and radiology, which are among the blessings of today's technologies, provide great benefits in health fields.

Conservative and Restorative Dentistry What is Conservative and Restorative Dentistry? Conservative and Restorative Dentistry is the method used for dental caries that occur in the hard structure of the tooth. It is known that if the tooth filling process is applied correctly, it consists of several different stages that are easy and short-term. ​ Dentists begin the process by cleaning the deformed and decayed tooth tissue in the conservative part of the treatment process. Then the remaining healthy parts of the tooth come to the fore and this part is preserved and the tooth tissue is repaired. In some cases, conservative and restorative dental treatment cannot be performed because the repair cannot be performed and tooth extraction is preferred. ​ However, one of the most basic and successful dental treatment methods generally used is known as dental filling. Instead of losing as much of the tooth as possible; The dental filling method, in which the healthy tissue is preserved, should be preferred. ​ Teeth can be eroded or damaged over time for various reasons. To prevent this, regular physician control is very important. What are the Advantages of Ceramic Fillings? The treatment method, which is called ceramic or porcelain filling and known as one of the current filling types, is a matter of curiosity. Today, ceramics can be used as a filling material, especially as a result of dental caries and, if necessary, canal treatment. It is a type of filling that is a part of the treatment process and aims to restore the missing part of the tooth. The biggest advantage of ceramic fillings when applying conservative and restorative dental treatment is that they can be preferred if there is not enough tooth structure to support other composite and similar fillings. ​ Therefore, if there is insufficient healthy tooth tissue; Ceramic fillings are used to ensure the connection of the tooth with the adjacent tooth and for comfortable use. Another important feature of this type of filling is the prevention of inconveniences such as the accumulation of nutrients between the teeth, as a connection is established with other teeth. Therefore, in cases where tooth tissue loss is high and the tooth is not desired to be lost, ceramic filling can be applied. ​ How is Ceramic Filling Made? Ceramic filling type can be applied to a part of the tooth; It can also be applied in the wider tooth area. These fillings are prepared in a laboratory environment. While preparing the fillings based on the mouth and tooth structure of the person, it is aimed to ensure the best possible connections with the neighboring teeth. In this way, no food residue accumulation occurs between the teeth. ​ In addition, it is ensured that the chewing surface can be used healthily and comfortably. In the ceramic filling, which provides both long-term use and an aesthetic structure, it is primarily concerned to determine the jaw and tooth structure of the person. Then, the missing areas on the tooth are completed with fine details. Ceramic filling types constitute one of the most preferred methods of conservative and restorative dental treatment processes. What are the Disadvantages of Ceramic Fillings? It is known that ceramic filling types can be durable for long periods and provide an aesthetic appearance. Although it is useful in this respect, the disadvantages of ceramic fillings are also wondered. ​ The main disadvantage of this type of filling is that it is more costly than other methods such as composite filling. Ceramic fillings, which are created by going through a sensitive working process and imitating the person's mouth structure in the most appropriate way, are more expensive than other methods. ​ It can be stated that ceramic fillings are costly, especially since they aim to achieve a superior aesthetic appearance and are one of the most popular dental treatment methods in recent times. ​ It is one of the preferred methods for solving problems that occur in the teeth due to factors such as dental caries, trauma or root canal treatment. Ceramic fillings, whose main disadvantage is cost, are among the most used techniques in conservative and restorative dental treatments. ​ What Is Tooth Decay and How Does It Occur? Tooth decay is basically the result of bacterial plaques formed by bacteria in the mouth. Acid may arise from the residues of floury and sugary foods, especially in the mouth. These acids erode the natural mineral tissue of the tooth structure and cause the deterioration of tooth enamel. This process brings with it the stages of the onset of dental caries and the formation of cavities called cavities. ​ First of all, caries that start on the outer surface can progress and spread to other teeth as long as the right treatments are not applied. For this reason, dental caries should be considered and treated as soon as possible. Conservative and restorative dental treatment stages are among the most important methods of decayed tooth treatment. ​ How Does Tooth Decay Progress and What Are Its Symptoms? Dental caries can be detected by the presence of cavities or holes that can be seen directly. However, there are various ways of understanding other than this symptom. For example, toothaches that occur for no apparent reason, and the tooth has a more sensitive structure than normal. Likewise, the presence of sharp or mild pain in the tooth while consuming cold or hot drinks should be considered. ​ Tooth decay has a structure that starts in a small area and progresses, if not treated, due to the bacterial density in the area. Therefore, paying attention to caries in one tooth is necessary for the protection of other teeth. Tooth decay symptoms stand out as important elements for conservative and restorative dental treatments. ​ What Should One Do to Prevent Tooth Decay? First of all, taking care of the teeth and gingival area is the best method to prevent cavities that may occur later. First of all, it is necessary to apply the right care to the teeth in order to avoid any problems. In case of any discomfort, it is important to consult a dentist without waiting. ​ Brushing your teeth twice a day is one of the most important elements. In addition, rinsing the mouth after any food consumption is one of the practices that can be done to prevent food residues from forming. To protect teeth; It is also important to see a dentist every 6 months without the need for conservative and restorative dental treatments. ​ How Is Tooth Decay Treated? Dental caries are prominent as diseases that need to be treated. One of the most common methods of treatment is dental filling. With dental filling, it is aimed to protect the healthy structure of the tooth. In advanced dental caries, where the healthy tissue is too little and cannot be preserved, the tooth can be extracted. ​ Today, many dental treatment methods can prevent these problems. It is known that fillings, which are one of the most up-to-date and useful treatment methods of dental caries, have a wide variety. Composite and amalgam fillings, especially ceramic fillings, can be listed among the most preferred types. ​ Should Broken, Worn, or Discolored Edge Fillings Be Replaced? Fillings that are damaged, broken or discolored in any way should be replaced. The reason for this is the possibility that the caries may reoccur under the filling area that has now become insufficient. Bacteria formation from the edge of the fracture will be more. There is also the same risk around the colored filling. Therefore, the repair or renewal of the filling is very important in terms of protecting the tooth. Care and renewal processes should also be considered as a part of conservative and restorative dental treatment practices. ​ Should Amalgam Fillings (Silver Fillings) Be Replaced With Composite Fillings (White Fillings)? Today, as the current type of filling, ceramic and composite-like fillings that complement the tooth structure are preferred. However, amalgam fillings can also be counted as one of the methods used. At this stage, it is recommended not to replace amalgam fillings if there is no caries formation or if there is no complaint on the fracture or similar filling. Especially if amalgam fillings made in a large area instead of a small area do not cause any discomfort, it may be possible to continue using it. However, if there is an aesthetic complaint due to the color difference, it is possible to replace it with composite fillings. Composite fillings are created much more robustly than before and can be easily used in every part of the tooth. ​ Are Amalgam Fillings Harmful? Amalgam fillings are a controversial type of filling because they contain mercury. There are basically two different views in the literature. On the one hand, it is claimed that it is harmful, on the other hand, it is claimed that the mercury contained in it is much less than the mercury that is taken into our body with seafood. ​ For this reason, certain references are offered by the World Dental Association. At the same time, a statement on the subject was made by the Turkish Dental Association. You can easily access these explanations online. ​ It is possible to access a. Amalgam fillings have left their usage density to composite fillings due to the color difference and these discussions. ​ Composite fillings can be easily preferred because they are produced in a much more useful and durable way than before. Especially the most used filling types of conservative and restorative dental treatment processes; types such as composite, ceramic and amalgam fillings.
