  2. Mineral trioxide aggregate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_trioxide_aggregate

    When the root is incompletely formed in adolescents and an infection occurs, apexification can be performed to maintain the tooth in position as the roots develop. In case of non-vital pulp: 1. Isolate the tooth with a rubber dam 2. perform root canal treatment. 3. Mix MTA and insert it to the apex of the tooth, creating a 3 mm thickness of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

    P11-4 is a self-assembling β-peptide. It builds a 3-D bio-matrix with binding sites for Calcium-ions serving as nucleation point for hydroxyapatite (tooth mineral) formation. The high affinity to tooth mineral is based on matching distances of Ca-ion binding sites on P11-4 and Ca spacing in the crystal lattice of hydroxyapatite.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_endodontics

    Before this treatment modality is introduced, apexification procedures using either immediate placement of mineral trioxide aggregate [3] apical plug or long term-calcium hydroxide treatment [4] were traditionally used to treat immature permanent tooth. Although these treatments often resolve the signs and symptoms of pathosis, they provide ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_hypoplasia

    Turner's hypoplasia or Turner's tooth is a presentation of enamel hypoplasia that normally affects only a single tooth. Its causes can be the same as other forms of enamel hypoplasia, but it is most commonly associated with trauma to a primary maxillary central incisor and the subsequent developmental disturbance of the underlying permanent ...

  6. Dental compomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_compomer

    Fluoride is a mineral which helps strengthen our teeth and protects them from decay, and it is found in many dental products including toothpaste. Compomers and glass ionomer cements are able to release fluoride over extended periods, and this may help to reduce the risk of a tooth decaying further.

  7. Glass ionomer cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_ionomer_cement

    Cermets, which are essentially metal reinforced, glass ionomer cements, used to aid in restoring tooth loss as a result of decay or cavities to the tooth surfaces near the gingival margin, or the tooth roots, though cermets can be incorporated at other sites on various teeth, depending on the function required. They maintain adhesion to enamel ...

  8. Tooth enamel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_enamel

    The enamel on primary teeth has a more opaque crystalline form and thus appears whiter than on permanent teeth. The large amount of mineral in enamel accounts not only for its strength but also for its brittleness. [6] Tooth enamel ranks 5 on Mohs hardness scale (between steel and titanium) and has a Young's modulus of 83 GPa. [4]

  9. Dental sealant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_sealant

    Back teeth showing fissure system. Dental caries is an upset of the balance between loss and gain of minerals from a tooth surface. [3] The loss of minerals from the teeth occurs from the bacteria within the mouth, fermenting foods and producing acids, whereas the tooth gains minerals from our saliva and fluoride that is present within the mouth. [3]
