Bone

‘Osteoporosis’, the most common metabolic bone disease, is a skeletal system problem characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone microstructure, resulting in increased bone fragility and fracture probability.

It is known that the physical forces transmitted to the teeth by chewing have the effect of stimulating the presence of the jawbone and creating cell regeneration. The jawbones that support the teeth can be adversely affected if the teeth are pulled out, and since the physical forces directly transmitted to the bone are eliminated, melting can be seen in the jawbones. In natural bone formation and destruction physiology, the upper jaw bones melt from front to back and the lower jaw melts from back to front. This situation, in which people’s lower jaw moves forward due to aging, is observed much more clearly especially in people with tooth deficiency.

If gingivitis is not treated, it can adversely affect the jaw bones and lead to bone resorption and tooth loss. It is possible to prevent gum diseases with good oral care and regular tooth brushing habits. Bacterial plaque that accumulates on our teeth after meals can turn into tartar with the minerals in the saliva when it is not removed with a toothbrush. This situation; It can lead to gingivitis, bad breath, bleeding gums, and loss of teeth and jawbones in the future. In the treatment of osteoporosis of the jaw, it is possible to correct the deficiencies with bone grafts, also known as bone powder, which are bone-forming artificial materials.

Fractures in the bones are usually caused by trauma. Osteoporosis, which is known as osteoporosis among the people, especially in advancing ages, is shown as one of the main causes of fractures.

As with every health problem and disease, early diagnosis and intervention are very important for the success of the treatment. Especially if orthodontic treatment is started early, it is possible to prevent many more problems before they start. At the same time, problems at the beginning level are treated early to prevent them from causing bigger problems in the future. Tooth and jaw problems, which are ignored, thought to go away when they grow up, and not treated under the control of a dentist, cause both more advanced problems and expensive treatment costs in the future. Therefore, it is of great importance that children, whose every detail is considered for their future, receive orthodontic treatment early in order to have good oral and dental health in the future. Here are the importance and advantages of orthodontic interventions applied at an early age…

Hallux valgus disease is a disease involving the first metacarpal bone and the big toe bone. Bone Protrusion on the Big Toe is 90% diagnosed on a good examination. After that, the angles of the bony deformity are measured with direct x-rays and radiographs, except in some cases, MRI and tomography are also included in this diagnostic process. After non-surgical treatments are tried in Hallux Valgus disease, if x-ray is required to correct the bone protrusion in this big toe, MRI-tomography is performed and the diagnosis is made. After the operation plan is drawn, it is necessary to proceed to the operation part because hallux valgus treatment is not possible without surgery. There are several types of surgery. The recurrence rate of hallux valgus disease is very low with the correct surgery. While performing the Hallux Valgus surgery, the measurements obtained from the films made specifically for the person are evaluated. It is above the bone to bring the comb bone to the required position.
