7. Dental Infection ?
●
A tooth infection is a complication of tooth decay. It
may also occur when a tooth is broken or chipped.
Openings in the tooth enamel allow bacteria to infect
the center of the tooth (the pulp). Infection may
spread from the root of the tooth to the bones
supporting the tooth.

10. Dental Restoration
Tooth restorations are the various ways your dentist can
replace or restore missing teeth or missing parts of the tooth
structure. Tooth structure can be missing due to decay,
deterioration of a previously placed restoration, or fracture of
a tooth.

11. Dental Restoration Examples
●
Fillings : are the most common type of dental restoration. Teeth can be filled
with gold, silver amalgam, or tooth-colored plastic and glass materials called
composite resin fillings.
●
Crowns : are a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth to restore its
shape and size, strength, appearance, to hold a bridge in place or cover a dental
implant.
●
Bridges : are false teeth that are designed to "bridge" the gap created by one or
more missing teeth. Bridges can be anchored on either side by crowns and cemented
permanently into place.
●
Implants : are replacement tooth roots. Implants are actually a small post
made of metal that are placed into the bone socket where teeth are missing.
●
Dentures : are a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding
tissues. They are made of acrylic resin sometimes combined with metal attachments.
