PROSTHODONTICS


This branch of dentistry provides replacements for missing teeth by prostheses


When do you require this speciality ?

Missing tooth/teeth

This branch of dentistry provides replacements for missing teeth by prostheses. A prosthesis is an artificial replacement for the natural teeth that were lost.

These include:

  • Fixed Prostheses
  • Removable Prostheses
  • Implant Prostheses

Fixed prostheses includes crowns, bridges, inlays and veneers. These appliances are fixed to the remaining tooth structure in the mouth. The tooth/teeth are prepared and an impression of the mouth is made. This is then processed using the in-house CAD/CAM machine. The machine fabricates the prosthesis which is then fitted in to the mouth.

Crowns, popularly known as caps are often indicated for teeth that are weak and prone to breakdown. Thus it protects the remaining tooth structure which aids in normal oral function. These crowns are fabricated using different materials including porcelain. At KDC our state of the art equipment fabricates crowns within few minutes and they are then fixed in the mouth on the same day.

Removable prostheses are also an option to replace missing teeth and soft tissues. This substitute includes dentures which can replace all teeth or a few teeth. Dentures are made of plastic (acrylic) and sometimes reinforced with metal. The fabrication of these appliances require several visits to the clinic.

Dental implants are the latest and best way to replace a missing tooth/teeth. It is a screw like artificial device which is placed in the jaw bone where there is a missing tooth. The implant with time integrates with the bone and a crown (cap) resembling the lost tooth is placed over it. This treatment option requires a lot of surgical and restorative planning.

KDC is equipped with the gold standard diagnostic device; the CBCT for planning this treatment.


ENDODONTICS


This branch of dentistry deals with managing conditions of the dental pulp of the tooth.


When do you require this speciality  ?

Toothache, Sensitivity to cold and hot foods

This branch of dentistry deals with managing conditions of the dental pulp of the tooth. Dental pulp is the inner most layer of the tooth beneath the enamel and dentin. It comprises of the tooth’s nerves and blood vessels. Inflammation of this dental pulp causes severe pain and discomfort.

Once this occurs, the dental pulp often has to be cleaned out and the space occupied by it is filled. This procedure is commonly known as root canal treatment or nerve filling. The aim of this treatment is to preserve the natural tooth for as long as possible. KDC practices “pain free dentistry” where these procedures are made virtually painless.

How is a root canal performed?

  • Local anaesthesia is given to numb your painful tooth and the inside of your mouth
  • A dental dam is placed over your tooth to isolate the affected area
  • The decayed part of your tooth is cleaned out and the pulp tissue is located
  • The inflamed pulp tissue is removed and the root space is cleaned and disinfected
  • The space is filled and the tooth is built up to its original dimensions

PERIODONTICS


This dental speciality handles the treatment of diseases of tissues supporting the tooth known as the periodontium.


When do you require this speciality ?

Swollen gums, Bleeding gums, Loose teeth, Persistent bad breath

This dental speciality handles the treatment of diseases of tissues supporting the tooth known as the periodontium. These include the gums, bone and periodontal ligament (fibres that hold the tooth in the jaw bone). Periodontal diseases weakens these tissues resulting in loose teeth.

The most common cause of periodontal disease is plaque and tartar. These build up on the teeth if proper brushing and regular cleanups are not carried out. Plaque and tartar contain bacteria which causes the inflammation of these periodontal tissues. Other causes include diabetes, smoking, hormonal changes, medicines and immunosuppressive diseases and states.

Treatment depends on the severity of the disease. If diagnosed at an early stage a regular cleanup will be sufficient. However at a later stage, more advanced treatment options including periodontal surgeries are required.

Periodontal diseases are often chronic and require regular followup and maintenance. KDC formulates long term treatment plans for these patients, helping them to achieve optimal periodontal health.


ORTHODONTICS


Orthodontic treatment is aimed at improving the appearance and alignment of the teeth and smile.


When do you require this speciality ?

Crooked teeth, Crowded teeth, Forwardly placed teeth, Correcting problems with the bite of the teeth

Orthodontic treatment is aimed at improving the appearance and alignment of the teeth and smile. Crowded and malpositioned teeth are a common occurrence. This makes it harder to bite and clean these teeth. Moreover they present an aesthetic concern. In severe cases abnormal placed teeth and jaws can have an impact of the shape of the face.

This branch of dentistry provided both removable and fixed treatments. Removable appliances include plates that are worn on one or both jaws. The fixed treatment option is the popular orthodontics braces.

Braces are often placed once the permanent teeth have erupted in the jaw around the age of 12 years. If your teeth are placed very tightly in the jaw you may require some teeth to be extracted. Orthodontic treatment is usually lengthy but will depend on the complexity of the problem. The end of treatment is followed by a retainer which maintains the changes in alignment achieved during the treatment.


PAEDODONTICS


Paedodontics is the branch of dentistry dealing with dental problems from childbirth upto adolescence


When do you require this speciality?

Treatment of all child dental problems

Paedodontics is the branch of dentistry dealing with dental problems from childbirth upto adolescence. This includes both therapeutic and preventive dental care.

Therapeutic dental care includes simple tooth fillings, root fillings, extractions and cleanups of both milk and adult teeth. On the other hand preventive care includes brushing education, diet counselling, fluoride therapy and sealing of areas in teeth that can potentially decay.

A great deal of importance is given to protecting the milk teeth which preserve the space in the jaw and act as a guide for the permanent teeth. If milk teeth are lost early, it can lead to permanent teeth being stuck in the jaw or malpositioned.

Tooth Fillings – The decayed part of the tooth is cleaned out and is filled using tooth coloured materials

Root Fillings – The cavity may extend to the pulp (innermost part) of the tooth causing pain and discomfort. This requires cleaning out of the infected part of pulp and filling the space under local anaesthesia. This procedure is carried out in milk teeth to preserve them until they are ready to be replaced

Extractions – Badly broken down or loose teeth have to be removed under local anaesthesia

Cleanups – Along with proper brushing cleanups play a major role in reducing dental problems in children

Preventive care aims to reduce the occurrence of new cavities and hence the need for complex procedures. Paedodontics also deals with the management of dental trauma in both milk and permanent teeth. These injuries need to be managed appropriately to ensure good oral health.


ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY


This branch of dentistry is a surgical discipline that focuses on surgeries of teeth, jaws and facial skeleton.


When do you require this speciality?

Extractions of teeth, Painful wisdom teeth, Swellings of the jaw, Painful conditions of the mouth,

This branch of dentistry is a surgical discipline that focuses on surgeries of teeth, jaws and facial skeleton. This includes facial trauma surgery, oral cancer surgery, aesthetic facial surgery and correction of jaw deformities.

A common surgical procedure is the removal of painful or decayed wisdom teeth. These are the third molar tooth to erupt in to the mouth. There are usually four and the by the time they erupt there is no space for them in the mouth. Thus wisdom teeth tend to get stuck or emerge at an angle.

This leads to tooth decay, infection of the gum and tissues around the tooth and even abscesses in some cases.

Wisdom tooth surgery can be done either under local or general anaesthesia. Often a small opening is made in the gum surrounding the tooth and the tooth may need to be sectioned to facilitate its removal. Sutures are placed to keep the wound closed, preventing complications. Planning these surgeries require radiographic imaging including OPG and CBCT. KDC has both the facilities and trained radiographers supported by specialist oral radiologists.
