Dental Implants are very beneficial treatment for those, who lost their tooth because of accident or while playing etc. Dental implants replace the roots of the teeth and can be used to anchor a single crown . Usually, the implants are in the form of screw and are made of pure titanium. Titanium is used due to its unique feature to join directly to the bone in a process called osseointegration. Usually the implants have a diameter of 3-6 mm and a length of 7-18 mm.The plant is commonly formed of three parts; the plant itself, which is inserted directly into the bone, the pillar, which is the part of interconnection and which emerges from the gingiva and the crown or prosthesis made ​​of titanium, gold or ceramics. In their present form, the plants have been used for the first time for the treatment of patients forty years ago. Per Ingvar BrÃ¥nemark, a Swedish professor, discovered that titanium melts directly to the bone in studies on blood circulation.


                       

The advantages of dental implants:

*The implant can be positioned in the same moment in which the tooth is removed, but even after several      years from the extraction.

*The location, the color and the shape of the teeth are determined by the nature.

*Plants and their crowns can often be put in a great location (subject to availability of suitable bone), closing spaces, harmonizing natural teeth and creating optimal aesthetics.

*In some circumstances and after a careful clinical evaluation and the implant can be inserted immediately or shortly thereafter you can apply on a crown or denture. This is an immediate treatment.

*However, in some cases, for example when there is a shortage of bone, it is preferable to wait for healing and osseointegration of the plant and in the meantime use a crown or a temporary prosthesis.

*A clinician experienced and capable is able to assess the condition of each individual patient.

*Natural teeth are subject to diseases of the teeth (caries) and gum (gingivitis or periodontitis). The plants are not subject to these problems.

*They have greater longevity of all implantable medical devices, with success rates that exceed forty years.

Longevity depends on the individual case and the specialist will be able to advise on risk factors. Some implant and prosthetic components may require replacement due to wear and mechanical stress, but often it is a simple replacement mechanics.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

The Root canal treatment is also known as Endodontics . It is the part of the dentistry that deals with the  diagnosis and prevention of the diseases and injuries of dental pulp. It consists of the removal of the dental pulp and the bacteria and their toxins from the root canal, disinfection and shaping of the root canal system and subsequent filling the same with inert material, in such a way to avoid the proliferation of bacteria inside . With root canal teeth also very damaged, can be saved by avoiding to be extracted.
The dental pulp is very soft tissue  that contains blood vessels, connective tissue, nerve of the tooth . The crown ( tooth above the gum) contains the pulp chamber . The pulp extends from the pulp chamber through the root canal to the apex of the root . 
Two main reasons for the root canal treatment are:
* Deep Tooth Decay : Tthis is the main reason for root canal. The caries begin penetrating the outer layer of the tooth enamel creating a cavity. If this is not stopped in time , it continues to damaging  the pulp of tooth.
*Trauma : In some cases, trauma to the tooth (accidents or sports) can damage the pulp of the tooth.
* Other causes like periodontal disease , tooth fracture.

• Tooth infection caused by deep caries.

• An opening is made through the crown, to reach the pulp chamber .

• The pulp is removed, the root canal is cleaned, enlarged and prepared to be filled. Normally, between one session and the other on the tooth cavity is put the dough provisional.

• The pulp chamber and root canals are filled and permanently sealed with a biocompatible material.

• A pin of metal or carbon is placed in the canal of the tooth to give support to its reconstruction.

• The crown of the tooth can be covered with a capsule in order to avoid fractures.

After treatment is completed, periodic checks are crucial to the health of the tooth undergoing root canal treatment. Regular checks associated with a scrupulous oral hygiene, in addition to maintaining healthy teeth and gums allow the tooth taken care of last.
