tooth gap

Introduction

Introduction The gap between the teeth is due to the poor development of the teeth or the gap between the teeth caused by the damage of the teeth. The gap between the teeth is too large, which will directly affect the appearance of the face, and it also has certain harm to the normal diet. There are gaps in the teeth that pose a great threat to oral hygiene. Because the teeth are sewn, many bacteria in the air simply enter the mouth and cause oral diseases. People with large gaps in their teeth will easily leave food in the gaps of their teeth when eating food. If it is irritating, it will cause pain in the teeth. If the treatment is not timely, the gap of the teeth will gradually expand, and the long-term accumulation of food in the gap of the teeth will not be cleaned up in time, which will increase the pain of the teeth. Once the hard things are eaten, the cracks will increase and severe pain will occur.

Cause

Cause

The general reason for the large gap in the teeth:

First, when the teeth are changed, the growth of the permanent teeth is deviated, and the unevenness of the growth leads to sparseness and large gaps.

Second, the gums may not develop well. The gums are the basis of dental support. If malnutrition occurs, it may lead to poor tooth development.

The third is more teeth. Some children often grow one or two deformed teeth on the labial, medial or temporal side of the upper incisor, which seriously affects the growth arrangement of normal permanent teeth, resulting in widening of the upper incisors.

Oral endoscopic oral X-ray examination

1. Oral dental examination: diagnosis based on clinical features.

2, X-ray examination of the jaw bones for abnormalities, such as dental tumors, ambush displacement teeth.

3. If the traumatic tooth injury and the maxillary sinus penetrating or mandibular fracture are suspected, the mandibular or maxillary sinus can be taken. Optional CT check if necessary.

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Symptoms of large confusing teeth:

Dislocation of teeth is misaligned: the clinical manifestation of crowded dentition is that the teeth are crowded and misaligned, mainly because the amount of teeth is larger than the amount of bone, and the shape of the arch is abnormal.

Abnormal tooth structure: refers to the abnormal development of teeth caused by various obstacles during tooth development or matrix calcification during tooth development, and leaves permanent defects or marks on the tooth tissue. Common enamels are: Dysplasia, dentine hypoplasia, dental fluorosis and tetracycline staining teeth.

Loose teeth and shedding: refers to the loosening of the teeth caused by external impact, periodontal disease, gum atrophy, nutritional aging of the old gums, etc., causing tooth loss after severe. Most adults suffer from periodontal disease. Most periodontal diseases progress slowly. Most of them are gingivitis at the beginning. There are not many symptoms other than occasional brushing, so it is not noticeable. The development of gingivitis to a certain extent is periodontitis. At this time, severe oral odor can occur, the abscess is repeated in the periodontal period, the teeth are loose, the teeth are getting bigger and bigger, and the teeth are getting sparse. If the patient is seen at this stage, the doctor can control the deterioration of inflammation, but the damaged periodontal tissues (including gum atrophy) are irreversible and difficult to recover completely.

The teeth are small and sparse: the shape of the tooth is small, the shape of the jaw is normal, etc., and the gap between the teeth is formed to form a sparse tooth. Small and sparse teeth can easily jam food and damage periodontal tissues, causing gingivitis, periodontitis, and easy to change. Severe cases can affect the appearance of the patient and cause mental and mental disorders. The disease is treated differently according to the cause of sparse dentition.

Diagnosis can be based on clinical characteristics.
