Mineral masks for teeth

Tooth enamel is the substance with the highest mineralization. The chemical composition of tooth enamel is ~96% minerals and about 4% organic substances. High mineralization of enamel gives it strength, hardness, fragility, and caries resistance. Tooth enamel can lose minerals if the pH of oral saliva drops below acceptable levels. When several factors combine, the most important of which are oral bacteria and carbohydrates, lactic acid is formed. In acidic conditions, gradually, tooth enamel dissolves, the enamel structure is lost, this process is called enamel demineralization. Then cavities appear in the enamel structure, due to which bacterial invasion of the tooth accelerates, the carious process, penetrating the enamel, enters the dentin.

The presence of fluoride in drinking water or toothpastes significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay. Fluoride accelerates the movement of calcium and phosphate on the tooth surface. This process is called remineralization of hard dental tissues. The remineralized surface of tooth enamel contains fluorinated hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite, which are more acid resistant than natural tooth enamel.

To remineralize enamel, Saint-Dent Clinic has a program of mineral masks for teeth. Based on impressions of the dentition, transparent mouth guards are made, into which you inject the remineralizing gel yourself and place the mouth guard on the dentition for several hours. This procedure is ideal for the treatment of hypersensitivity, tooth pain to sweet, sour, cold foods, which is called hyperesthesia.

For use in the Clinic, the hygienist uses fluoride varnish, which is applied to the surface of the teeth after a course of professional oral hygiene.

How to independently monitor the level of oral hygiene?

The blue dye, available in liquid and tablet form, stains harmful bacteria and plaque on the surfaces of teeth. It is a non-toxic dye and can come in a variety of scents, most commonly cherry flavored. Concentrated liquid - for professional use, tablet form of dye - for self-use. After chewing and dissolving the tablet in saliva, it is necessary to rinse your mouth well with water; the bright red-blue dye will not be washed off and will remain on those areas of the teeth where there are accumulations of soft plaque. At the same time, fresh soft plaque is painted red, and plaque that has been in the oral cavity for a long time (7 days or more) is colored blue. Areas with blue staining should be brushed and flossed especially thoroughly. After brushing your teeth, there should be no areas marked with dye left - this will determine the effectiveness of teeth brushing. It is better to use such dyes on the weekend - you will have more time to brush your teeth and tongue. If cleaning your teeth from dye on your own does not please you with the results, seek help from a Saint-Dent Clinic hygienist for professional oral hygiene and instructions on how to brush your teeth.

Once the habit of properly caring for your teeth has been formed, the basic rules of brushing your teeth have been mastered, and your oral hygiene has reached the level necessary to maintain healthy teeth, it is possible to stop using soft plaque dyes. Remember that the condition of your teeth affects your overall health. It is important to teach your children simple dental care habits and visit your dentist and hygienist regularly with them to ensure optimal dental health from an early age, before dental health problems arise.

Parafunctions

The problem begins when we clench our teeth together, causing grinding for a long period of time and much more than when chewing food. Friction and grinding of teeth at night is called bruxism. A person who clenches his teeth while awake is called a clencher. Since neither clenching nor grinding teeth is normal, they are called parafunction. About 6 in 10 patients are at risk of losing all or almost all of their teeth prematurely. The result of this application of excessive forces to the teeth is their increased abrasion, fracture, and cracked teeth.

Parafunction usually occurs during sleep. The enamel of oppositely located teeth wears out rapidly within a few tens of minutes during an 8-hour sleep. The strength of night bruxism is up to 70% of the maximum strength of the masticatory muscles. In more severe cases, the person continues to clench the teeth during waking hours or while engaging in certain activities, such as lifting weights. On average, teeth experience at least 16 times more wear and tear in a person with parafunction. Parafunctions can also lead to periodontal disease. Increased tooth abrasion gradually progresses, the enamel is completely worn out (about 3 mm), and dentin is included in the process. (underlying tooth structure) Until this time, parafunction may remain unnoticed, but with the involvement of dentin in the process, increased sensitivity may appear, which causes concern for the bruxist.

Causes of parafunction in adults:

All factors have not yet been identified, but the important ones are:

1. Malocclusion is one of the main reasons for clenching of teeth and increased wear, the difference between the most comfortable position of the mandibular joint and the most convenient position of the lower jaw for the closure of all teeth. Lack of physiological guarding and feedback mechanism that are present in the central incisors and canines. To provide protection to the side teeth, only a certain height of the front teeth is needed, which prevents the side and front teeth from closing at the same time. When this is not the case, the back teeth can close together during parafunction and destroy each other.
2. Psychological component, nervous tension: stress causes muscle fibers to become sensitive to stimulation from the brain. It can be noticed that people suffering from parafunctions contract their masticatory muscles with much greater frequency and force.
3. Side effect of the use of pharmacological drugs: caffeine and amphetamines, when used together, increase contractions of the masticatory muscles, which can lead to increased abrasion of hard dental tissues. Some antidepressants may cause parafunction.
4. Habituation: It is important to understand that after years or even months of teeth grinding and clenching, these acts become a habit. Therefore, even if one or all of the above factors are eliminated, one should not expect the parafunction to disappear quickly.

Diagnosis of parafunction:

1. There are no control tests to detect parafunction. The dentist must make final conclusions after considering all factors and thoroughly examining the bite, teeth and soft tissues of the oral cavity. Below are some symptoms that indicate the presence of parafunctional activity.
2. Crack or fracture of a tooth at night, during sleep. As a rule, we are talking about teeth with large restorations, often pulpless.
3. You often wake up in the middle of the night to find your teeth clenched.
4. There may be morning headaches in the temporal areas.
5. You may experience pain in the neck and shoulder area.
6. You may find that absolutely all your teeth hurt, especially after waking up
7. Teeth clenching continues for quite a long period of time and becomes chronic.
8. Increased sensitivity of the necks of the teeth. As a rule, the patient feels a sensation of electric current when scratching the outer surface of the tooth with a fingernail, in the cervical area.
9. Excessive tooth wear, which primarily manifests itself in the form of flat and shiny areas on the cusps of the lateral teeth and is incompatible with physiological tooth wear.
10. The formation of additional bone around the teeth, most often on the internal and external surfaces of the lower and upper premolars - exostoses, tors. Previously it was believed that these bone formations were of genetic origin.
11. The imprint of the teeth, in the form of indentations on the lateral surfaces of the tongue, is called a “toothed tongue.” White line on the inside of the cheeks.

If the diagnosis is confirmed, the dentist will prescribe treatment. Perhaps the simplest, cheapest and most effective way to stop tooth wear is splint therapy, or otherwise known as splint therapy. If there is a malocclusion, treatment can range from selective grinding of some of the teeth to orthodontic treatment, depending on the severity of the malocclusion. In most cases, when “sensory” teeth (incisors and canines) do not have contact with antagonist teeth as a result of abrasion, their restoration with restorative materials is sufficient. This method is very effective, relatively easy to perform and without any side effects. Correcting malocclusion takes a lot of time, special skills, knowledge and equipment, but does not guarantee a 100% result.

In a very acute stage and for a few days at most, the dentist may prescribe muscle relaxants. Consulting a psychologist can help when stress is very strong and a person does not control himself. Wet warm compresses to the masticatory muscles lead to its relaxation.

Avoid chewing gum. Chewing gum shortens the life of your teeth. Chewing gum wears down teeth many times faster than chewing food. In addition, chewing gum trains the masticatory muscles, and if parafunction occurs, strong masticatory muscles will wear down the teeth very, very quickly.

Parafunction tires the jaw muscles and spasms them. The chewing muscles work together with the muscles in the back of the neck. Relaxing and calming one of these muscle groups helps relax the other.

Our main motto is the saying of Hippocrates Noli nocere(Do no harm)

When diagnosing and treating patients, we adhere to a team work style. Our professional team includes specialists from various fields: an implant surgeon, an orthopedic dentist, a dental therapist, a periodontist and an orthodontist.

New technologies in dentistry

We use all the latest technologies in our work, however, with caution. We treat our patients with great care, trying to achieve the desired result with minimal intervention, following the basic concept of the Hippocratic Oath “Do no harm.”

In particular, in the last year we have mastered the “All-on-4” prosthetic technology, when the dentition of one of the jaws (metal-ceramic or zirconium crowns) is fixed on 4 implants. This design is called conditionally removable, since it is fixed to the implants with screws.

To diagnose and predict the outcome of implantation and subsequent prosthetics, our clinic uses an orthopantomograph, and we plan to purchase a computed tomograph.

We pay special attention to such a pressing topic in dentistry today as occlusion. Individual occlusion, functional occlusion, aesthetic occlusion is the position of the lower jaw relative to the upper jaw, ensuring aesthetics and comfort for the patient. Unfortunately, not all clinics pay due attention to this, which causes complications, especially with total prosthetics.

Our clinic actively uses modern teeth whitening technologies - like using a lamp that is popular today ZOOM-3, and with the help of a fairly effective system Klox, in which we achieve high results.

All our doctors regularly improve their qualifications, attend courses and seminars, including in leading European medical centers. Approximately once every 2-3 years, our specialists undergo an internship in Basel (Switzerland), where the plant for the production of implants of one of the market leaders - the company Straumann.

All employees are interested in the development of our clinic, and not only in the material aspect, but also in the scientific and clinical ones. Our clinic employs certified specialists, many of whom have a scientific degree of Candidate of Medical Sciences. All doctors are involved in some kind of scientific topic, are active travelers - they regularly attend on-site scientific and practical seminars and dental congresses, mainly abroad, with the participation of leading world lecturers.

Equipment and materials

Our clinic is equipped with the most modern equipment, but now I want to talk not about the prestige of some brands, but about the diagnostic and treatment capabilities at the level of the latest world achievements. Speaking about materials, in particular about implants, we use products from world leaders, companies that not only produce products, but are leading developers of both materials and methods of working with them. Of course, if the patient is limited in funds, we also have the opportunity to offer him to use products from a more economical segment. At the same time, cooperation with leading dental manufacturers allows us to be at the peak of technology, successfully master it and apply it in our practice.

Working with magnification - better results

All our doctors work using magnifying optics. Our clinic has two dental operating microscopes in its arsenal, which allows us to carry out the most delicate and high-quality work in the field of endodontics (treatment and filling of tooth root canals), preparation for prosthetics, and microsurgery. In other offices, doctors use binoculars, which also allow them to see the smallest details.

A chipped front tooth was restored in one visit. I thought I would have to get a full-fledged prosthesis, but it ended with a light filling. By the way, the prosthesis would of course be more expensive, and I was kind of ready for this, but here I must say thank you to Ilya Igorevich Kilimnichenko for his practical advice. By the way, they then checked the rest of my teeth and made an appointment to treat mild caries on my chewing teeth. I am very pleased with the attitude of the staff, the treatment is also 5+.

The other day we completed a front tooth; I installed metal-free ceramics, not an implant, just on a pin. Excellent, relatively cheap, looks beautiful and you don’t need to wait for months. By the way, about a year ago, Dental Spa filled the far teeth, 1 on each side. Also from the same doctor, Ilya Igorevich Kilimnichenko. They stand like family! There really is a difference in comparison with regional clinics; there, with the same loads on the teeth, fillings regularly came off every 3-6 months.

I try to have my teeth treated in the same clinic and with the same doctor. I've been going to Dental Spa for a couple of years now. I try to make an appointment with Ilya Kilimnichenko. Of course, he doesn’t answer all questions, but I try to get inspections and referrals through him. I was always pleased.

Of course, he doesn’t answer all questions, but I try to get inspections and referrals through him. I was always pleased.

I had metal-ceramics installed on my front tooth at Dental Spa. They recommended an implant, but they were expensive and took too long, so I had to settle on metal-ceramics. But it turned out great. I think I should say a special thank you to Ilya Igorevich Kilimnichenko for the result. I simply reproduced the color and shape of the tooth perfectly; I wouldn’t have known it myself, I wouldn’t have been able to tell it apart from the real ones. What else can I say... I don’t really have anything to compare it with, but the clinic left a pleasant impression. When you make an appointment, you come straight to the doctor’s office, there is no need to wait. Clean and bright everywhere. The equipment in the dental office looks new and everything is clearly modern, all sorts of monitors and so on. The dental treatment was comfortable and painless.

My teeth are basically healthy, but I’m getting older, so I decided to start restoring my smile area. At a consultation at Dental Spa, their specialist Ilya Igorevich Kilimnichenko recommended installing veneers as an ideal option in my case. Optimal in terms of price, installation time and results. It turned out really well, with a fairly small amount of time, the doctor was able to actually restore the smile to the same form it was 20 years ago.

I haven’t been to the dentist for several years, but like it or not, sooner or later I have to - caries has appeared on my chewing teeth. A friend gave me the phone number of the Dental spa clinic, she just recently went there for whitening, praised everything, and I went there. Of course, since my last visit to the dentist, everything has changed dramatically. I think the clinic itself is still trying, of course. The atmosphere is so cozy, no one is yelling... I was received by Ilya Igorevich Kilimnichenko. I did everything very quickly and carefully, I couldn’t be happier with the result. And the doctor himself is very pleasant, he somehow puts you at ease. He also said that it would be necessary to do some cleaning and remove all the nasty stuff from the enamel. I'll definitely come back later. A very good clinic, it’s a pleasure to be here.

I really liked it here. I went here as if I were going to the nearest clinic with normal prices. Well, I read the reviews, of course, so I went specifically to Ilya Igorevich Kilimnichenko. I had a completely crumbled tooth, and I was thinking about removing it. But they saved the root for me and screwed the pin right into it. And then put a metal-ceramic crown on it. I am very grateful to the doctor for such careful and responsible work, as well as for his friendly attitude and moral concern. And in terms of money, everything is fair - how much I expected, how much, and how much I gave in the end.

Once a week for a month I went to the Dental Spa to see Ilya Klimnichenko to have his teeth treated. They didn’t find anything particularly terrible, one tooth needed to be replaced, and metal-ceramics were installed. And several teeth are simply caries and fillings, ceramic inlays. The doctor is adequate, remembers everything, knows everything, did an excellent job on my teeth. The clinic is friendly to patients both in terms of prices and in terms of the general environment. The technology is good, the chair was comfortable, everything you need for X-rays and other things is there.

Not so long ago, I finally divorced my husband, and so I decided to take care of myself to the fullest. There is simply no time for this in family life. First I lost weight, and then I decided to take care of my teeth. Otherwise, I completely neglected myself due to lack of time - caries on half of my teeth, and the stone, and the color is not very beautiful. In short, there was a lot of work to be done. I took a full package of services from Dental Spa Group - treatment, whitening and cleaning. Everything is perfect, a mosquito won’t hurt your nose. Thank you! Now I look great and have become much more confident.
