WHY IS STERILIZATION CRUCIAL IN DENTISTRY?

Oral Surgery is a branch of dentistry that involves surgical intervention. The most common oral surgical procedure is the extraction/removal of the teeth. Other procedures include dental implant placement, jaw surgeries, cyst removal etc.

Why Sterilization?

Our oral cavities are harboured with microbes. Improper sterilization might lead to spread of germs and infections from the patients to patient. This spread is especially apparent when the dental instruments are improperly sterilized, with remnants of infectious microbes, causing cross contamination. Patients undergoing oral surgical procedures are especially vulnerable to infections like HIV or hepatitis as these procedures are invasive and might easily cause blood contamination.

What are the consequences of improper sterilization and disinfection?

  1. Infections like Hepatitis and HIV.
  2. Re- infection after the surgical procedure. Might cause the accumulation of pus known as abscess formation.
  3. Dry socket post extraction of a tooth, which is failure of formation or dislodgement of the blood clot due to infection, leaving to poor healing of the surgical site.

WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF AN INFERIOR QUALITY COMPOSITE TOOTH FILLING MATERIAL?

While opting for a dentist for composite filling, especially in the front tooth, a number of factors are supposed to be taken into consideration. Firstly, the quality of composite filling material the dentist employs. Secondly, the technique employed. Quality of the composite material is crucial due to the following reasons:

  1. An inferior quality composite would develop microcracks and imbibe stains, rendering  a poor aesthetic appearance.
  2. It chips away as it cannot bear the occlusal load and needs a replacement in a short period of time.
  3. Micro leakage develops between the tooth surface and the filling material. There is a possibility of decay developing at this interface. This ultimately results in more tooth structure removal to rectify it.
  4. Getting the fillings done at short intervals also proves to be expensive despite the inferior quality.

In contrast, a superior quality composite filling would last for years to come and would remain intact without anyone being able to differentiate between the tooth and the filling due to the absence of stains, microcracks or leakage and renders a superior aesthetic appearance.

HOW DOES THE TYPE OF PROSTHESIS USED AFFECT THE SUCCESS RATE OF DENTAL IMPLANT?

The dilemma that one faces before opting for a Dental Implant is that whether the implant would fail or succeed. While there are a number of factors that affect the success or the failure rate of a dental implant, one of the crucial factor is the type of prosthesis used after the implant has been placed. Following the placement of an implant, osseointegration, which is fusion of the implant with the bone, occurs. This fusion lasts for years to come if the type of prosthesis placed over it is of an unquestionably superior quality. Apart from that, the placement has to be done with utmost precision.  If the prosthesis used is of an inferior quality, the consequences might be fracture of the prosthesis because the inferior quality prosthesis cannot bear and distribute the occlusal load or forces in a manner that it should. This might lead to the mobility of the abutment and ultimately the implant that had fused with the bone. Secondly, if the placement of the implant has been done in a wrong manner, this too might lead to implant failure. Due to the wrong placement technique, bone resorption occurs and leads to the mobility of the implant. Dental implants fall under the category of dental treatments that require an investment greater than usual. Therefore, selecting a dentist that uses the best quality implants and prosthesis as well as employs a proper technique for its placement is crucial. Failing to do so would lead your investment down the drain plus an irreversible damage that might not be rectified by repeating the implant procedure as the amount of bone lost is lost and no amount of bone grafts can be compared to one’s natural bone.
