Non-carious lesions of the teeth
In addition to caries, the most common dental disease, there is another pathology of hard tissues - non-carious lesions of the teeth.
Non-carious tissue lesions occur without softening of tissues and without the participation of microorganisms. At the heart of these processes is a violation of the mineralization of the hard tissues of the teeth under the influence of external or internal factors. These pathologies occur in approximately 25% of patients, but seek their help for dental care no more than 5%, because non-carious lesions of the teeth, as a rule, do not cause pain or other subjective sensations, and often only worsen the appearance. However, if left untreated, a number of complications can occur, including early tooth loss.
Let's talk about wedge-shaped defects.
Wedge-shaped defects - a type of damage to dental tissues located near the walls of the teeth, on the cheek and lip surfaces. The defect is wedge-shaped with the base to the neck of the tooth and the tip to the cutting edge or chewing surface. Wedge-shaped defect, as a rule, does not bother the patient: pain is rare (only briefly from thermal and chemical stimuli), the tooth cavity is not affected and does not open, the defects slowly deepen, softening is not defined (this defect is different from caries) .
The causes of the wedge-shaped defect are not fully established. There is a view that it occurs under the influence of uneven load on the teeth, due to malocclusion.
It is sometimes believed that because the wedge-shaped defect begins after the exposure of the tooth wall, it is one of the manifestations of periodontal disease. There is evidence of the role of endocrine disorders, diseases of the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract in the occurrence of a wedge-shaped defect.
Treatment of wedge-shaped defect is aimed at strengthening the hard tissues of the teeth through the use of remineralizing therapy (application of calcium, phosphorus, fluoride, fluoride varnish, fluorogel, etc.).
In severe form - filling with composite materials or orthopedic treatment (artificial crowns). If you find this problem, we are waiting for you for a consultation and professional examination.
