How to prevent caries?
16-09-2009
Dental caries - a disease caused by various factors, which involves the use in the treatment of various preventive measures. The purpose of primary prevention - preventing the holding of fluoride, modified diet, which prevents the emergence of foci of dental caries.
Secondary prophylactic treatment is early diagnosis of existing lesions (eg, primary carious lesions diagnosed by using X-ray diffraction using a bite device). Then - in order to prevent the emergence of new lesions or further loss of hard tissue of teeth carry out the necessary therapeutic measures (remineralization, sealing the fissure).
At the stage of tertiary preventive treatment for existing carious lesions treated at the same time preventing the emergence and development of further lesions special operative recovery methods with minimal invasive treatment.
In the process of teaching students to share textbooks preventive and operative rehabilitation, but patients with such a division does not hold, because these activities are carried out comprehensively. Treatment outcome influenced by habit, inculcated in the family, the social status of the patient, the state of caries activity at the time of treatment, diet, use of fluorine and implementation of patient interventions fluoride prophylaxis, the state of oral hygiene, as well as the patient's age.
General preventive measures (fluoridation of table salt, the program of training proper technique of cleaning teeth, etc.) should be supplemented by individual prevention program, compiled with the help of the attending dentist and hygienist. The standard program of preventive activities are not always suitable for all patients. For each of them individually determine the purpose of preventive measures and choose the appropriate methods.
The main components of preventive anti-caries therapy are:
introduction of a proper diet;
use of fluoride cariostatic agents;
fissure sealing;
implementation of oral hygiene.

For the treatment of deep caries mainly use therapeutic pads on calcium hydroxide. Materials containing Ca (OH) 2> have a pronounced antimicrobial, odontotropnym and anti-inflammatory effect.
Kalmetsin - powder containing calcium hydroxide, zinc oxide, human blood plasma and sulfatsil-sodium (albutsid-sodium). Liquid part of the therapy pads, contains an aqueous solution of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
To prepare the lining of kalmetsina on a dry glass plate is applied 2-3 drops of this liquid and add it in small portions powder until smooth plastic soft mass.

Non-carious dental hard tissue lesions occur during their formation or after the eruption. In the period of formation of dental hard tissues most frequently find hypoplasia. To defeat the teeth, emerging after the eruption, are wedge-shaped defect, erosion of enamel abrasion of dental hard tissues.
Systemic hypoplasia of tooth tissue occurs in pathology of metabolic processes in their beginnings under the influence violations of mineral and protein metabolism in the fetus or child.

The most frequent localization of caries are fissures, pits and deepening the chewing (occlusal) surfaces of teeth that are poorly cleared brush. As a result, they accumulate food debris, and consequently, there is an intensive growth of microorganisms, which ultimately leads to the development of caries.
At the same time using different methods of fluoride prevention, dental plaque in these areas prevents the flow of enamel fluoride ions.
The above circumstances led many researchers to seek special funds for the prevention of caries on the chewing surfaces of teeth.

Application of fluorine compounds for the prevention of dental caries can be divided into two main ways - the system (endogenous) - intake of fluoride in the body of water, salt, milk, tablets or drops, and local (exogenous) - the use of solutions, gels, toothpaste, varnishes.
The conventionality of this division is that the means used systemically, and has a local impact, and vice versa, the local use of resources contributes to their absorption through the mucous membranes of the circulatory system.

Dental elixirs are used to rinse the mouth. They improve the cleaning of surfaces of teeth, prevent the formation of plaque, deodorize the mouth. The structure of elixirs usually add biologically active components.
Elixir "Ksident contains sodium fluoride, a drug ksidifon who, as a regulator of calcium levels in the body, prevents the formation of plaque and stone. He has protivokarioznoe, anti-inflammatory and disinfectant effect.
Pronounced anti-inflammatory and deodorizing properties have elixirs "Forest", "Paradontax", "Salviathymol", containing a complex of vegetable supplements - herbal extracts of sage, chamomile, myrrh, echinacea.
