Dental Science & Advanced Dentistry

Endodontic is the division of dentistry that deals with infections of the tooth root, dental pulp, and adjacent tissue. Teeth are composed of a rigid structure surrounding a soft, living tissue called the pulp. The pulp comprises nerves, blood vessels and connective soft tissue. When the pulp become diseased or damaged and eventually dies, treatment will be essential to save the tooth. Root canal therapy is the most common technique done by an endodontist to remove the infested pulp and nerves from the tooth’s root canal. Other procedures include endodontic retreatment and endodontic surgery to prevent extractions.

Forensic odontology is the proper handling, examination and evaluation of dental evidence, which will be then presented in the interest of justice. The evidence that may be derived from teeth is the age (in children) and identification of the person to whom the teeth belong. This is done using dental records including radiographs, ante-mortem (prior to death) and post-mortem (after death) photographs and DNA. The other type of evidence is that of bite marks, left on either the victim (by the attacker), the perpetrator (from the victim of an attack), or on an object found at the crime scene. Bite marks are often found on children who are abused.

Geriodontics is the delivery of dental care to older adults involving the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of problems associated with normal aging and age-related diseases as part of an interdisciplinary team with other health care professionals. The dental diseases that the elderly are particularly prone to are root caries, attrition, periodontal disease, missing teeth because of earlier neglect, edentulism, poor quality of alveolar ridges, ill-fitting dentures, mucosal lesions, oral ulceration, dry mouth (xerostomia), oral cancers, and rampant caries.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is the division of dentistry that comprises surgery to correct diseases, injuries and flaws in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the oral and Cranio-maxillofacial region. The field of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery varies from simple extractions and surgical removal of buried teeth to controlling of facial trauma. Typical oral surgical processes includes extraction of teeth, wisdom teeth surgery, dental extractions for physically compromised patients, placement of dental implants, bone grafting, tongue tie surgery , and analysis and treatment of cysts and tumors.

Oral Implantology is intended to promote study and scientific research in the field of dental implantology and allied biomedicaz disciplines at Dental Dubai. It provides valuable information to general dentists, oral surgeons, prosthodontics, periodontists, scientists, clinicians, laboratory owners and technicians, manufacturers, and educators during Dentistry workshop and Dentistry conferences. Dental Implant basics, prosthetics, pharmaceuticals, and the latest research in implantology, implant surgery, and advanced implant procedures.

Oral cancer can form in any portion of the mouth or throat. Most oral cancers begin in the tongue and in the floor of the mouth. Anybody can get oral cancer, but the threat is higher for male, over age 40, use tobacco or alcohol or have a past of head or neck cancer. Repeated sun exposure is also a risk for lip cancer. Oral cancer treatments may comprise surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

Orthodontics is the division of dentistry that deals with teeth arrangement to correct malocclusions and also the modification of facial growth. While orthodontic treatment has usually been suggested for functional reasons, it is increasingly used for aesthetic reasons to develop a person’s appearance. Typical problems corrected using orthodontic applications include improperly aligned teeth, crowded or irregularly spaced teeth, swelling teeth, extra or missing teeth, misaligned jaws and bite problems. Orientation problems could also have arisen through accidents , prolonged thumb sucking or pacifier sucking in grown-up children, missing teeth, premature or late loss of baby teeth, tumors in the mouth, dental disease or inadequately fitted fillings, crowns or braces.

Pediatric dentistry is the dental field that provides primary and widespread oral health care for children from infancy through youth and patients with special health care needs. Pediatric dental treatment and disease avoidance is provided for children up to 14 years of age, with special services for newborns and infants. Pediatric dentists encourage the dental health of children as well as help as educational resources for parents. Early detection is necessary to maintain oral health, modify unusual habits, and treat as needed and as simply as possible.

Prosthodontics or prosthetic dentistry: is the part of dentistry that focuses on dental prostheses. Prosthodontists offer multi-disciplinary levels of care and offer the most progressive form of sequencing treatment, restorative treatment and maintenance. Prosthodontic treatments are designed to produce a balance between functionality, longevity and aesthetics, which include crowns and bridges, bonding and veneers, dentures, dental implants, and full mouth restoration.

Veterinary dentistry is the field of dentistry applied to the care of animals. It is the art and science of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions, diseases, and disorders of the oral cavity, the Maxillo-facial region, and its associated structures as it relates to animals. It is important to examine the whole animal, even when the primary complaint is the mouth. Some dental diseases may be the result of a systemic problem and some may result in systemic complications. In all cases, dental procedures require a general anesthetic so it is important to establish the cardiovascular and respiratory status and canine and feline physiological values of the patient to avoid risks or complications.

Cosmetic dentistry states to any dental work that improves the appearance of a person's teeth, gums. It mainly focuses on enhancement dental aesthetics in colour, position, shape, size, alignment and overall smile appearance. It involves the addition of a dental material to teeth or gums, removal of tooth structure or gums, straightening of teeth accompanied by an improvement in appearance of face.

Restorative Dentistry is the study, analysis and integrated management of diseases of the oral cavity, the teeth and supporting structures. It comprises the rehabilitation of the teeth and the oral cavity to the functional, psychological and aesthetic necessities of the individual patient, including the coordination of multi-professional working to achieve these objectives.  The focus of the Restorative Dentistry specialty is to work with other dental, medical and surgical specialists and other clinical associates, to provide and support the integrated management and oral rehabilitation of patients with complex treatment needs.

Periodontics or Periodontology is the division of dentistry that deals with the management of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth, especially the gums. Gum cure is essential to prevent tooth loss. Common periodontal processes include scaling and root development, periodontal surgery, dental implants, and cosmetic techniques such as crown lengthening, soft tissue grafts, and ridge augmentation.

Oral appliance therapy is an effective cure option for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A custom-fit oral sleep appliance can recover sleep, restore alertness and rejuvenate health. Worn only during sleep, an oral appliance fits like a sports mouth guard or an orthodontic retainer. It supports the jaw in a forward point to help retain an open upper airway. Study shows that oral appliance therapy is an effective treatment preference for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. The therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment that fits easily into lifestyle.

There are numerous types of sleep apnea, but the most common is obstructive sleep apnea. It is a potentially severe sleep disorder. It causes breathing to frequently stop and start during sleep. This type of apnea arises when throat muscles intermittently relax and block airway during sleep.

3D Imaging is one of the most significant tools for orthodontists to evaluate and record size and form of craniofacial structures. Orthodontists regularly use 2-dimensional (2D) static imaging procedures, but deepness of structures cannot be acquired and restricted with 2D imaging. Three-dimensional (3D) imaging has been developed in the early of 1990's and has gained a prized place in dentistry, particularly in orthodontics. In 3D diagnostic imaging, a series of anatomical records is gathered using certain technical equipment, processed by a computer and later presented on a 2D monitor to present the illusion of deepness.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy It is neuro-muscular re-education of the oral facial muscles through a chain of exercises, to help in the normalization of the developing or advanced craniofacial structures and function. It is behavioral modification to eradicate dysfunctional practices. It works with the muscles of the lips, tongue, cheeks and face and their related purposes such as breathing, sucking, chewing, swallowing and speech as well as the rest position of the tongue and cheeks. It is used to form, balance, and stabilize, the stomatognathic and cranial systems.

Ethics is a discipline dealing mainly with moral duty, conduct, and judgment. The dentist and the practice of dentistry are organized by many laws on the federal, state, and local level. Dental Ethics mean moral duties and obligations of the dentist towards his patients, specialists and associates and society. "Dentistry meetings" and Dentistry conferences help to encourage the welfare and equality of human beings.

Dental market is a swiftly growing section with numerous products at different stages of clinical pipeline and others at different stages of industry life cycle. Disease incidences are escalating rapidly across the globe due to which high unmet demand has been formed and companies along with researchers are trying to provide effective medical care to patients. Dentistry congress, Dentistry workshops and Dentists Meeting delivers the good platform for the dental practice business aspects.
