- Modification of tooth shape
- Replacement of missing tooth structure
- As retainers
- Aesthetics
What is the mechanisms of pain in cracked teeth?
Due to peripheral location and low excitability threshold of A-beta and A-delta fibers, rapid sharp pain is generated. In cracked teeth, the increased rapid movement of dentine fluid in dentinal tubules during relaxation after prolonged biting result in such symptom. When bacterial toxins infiltrate the pulp, hyperalgesia can result. This is a state of pulpal inflammation, which lowers the threshold of stimulation of A-delta fibers. Thus patient feels pain easier. A second type of pulpal stimulation is occurs through activation of C-fibers. C-fibers have a higher threshold of excitability thus only respond to prolonged inflammation of pulpal tissues. C-fibers activation means more than likely, pulp treatment is needed.

What is the treatment for a mandbiular and condyle fracture?

Treatment for 2 - intermaxillary fixation with use of arch bars to allow the condyle to heal if it is not displaced, comminuted or severely damage in other way. This will manage the occlusion. TMJ ficxation with direct bars may be possible.
Remember:
Soft food, and wire shut jaw for the next 3 months at least.
After the surgery, patient needs to be observed until reasching 12 hour stability.
Review 24 hours, a week, a month and 3 months after. If any complications occur, review.
Remove arch bars when the condyle is healed. A period of physiotherapy might be needed.

- Initial sub-gingival build up biofilm occurs, initiation of immune response in form of PMN mobilisation for containment of infection
- Cytokine releases in response of bacteria in form of IL-1, TNF-a and IL-6, resulting in amplification of inflammatory response
- Production of MMPs (especially MMP 8 and 9) resultin in destruction of periodontal tissues.

Antiresorptive drugs include bisphosphonates and denosumab. Antiangiogenic drugs (eg bevacizumab, cabozantinib, lenvatinib, sunitinib) interfere with the formation of new blood vessels, and are used in the treatment of some malignancies. Romosozumab, a sclerostin antibody inhibitor, increases bone formation and bone mineral density.
