A 62 year old female came to the clinic for replacement of upper and lower anterior teeth for aesthetic reasons, gave her various options including RPD, FPD, Implants... But she did not want to go for some expensive treatment and chose RPD at last.
After insertion of the RPD, she was satisfied with the aesthetics, but concerned about the removal and insertion of the RPD.
RPD is not a bad option, but it needs some effort and patience from the patient side to get use to it. Efforts like-
-You have to clean the RPD regularly.
-You have to take it off at night.
-You have to insert it again in the morning.
whereas, when you talk about fixed prosthesis. you yourself do not have to put such efforts, your dentist will do all the things required. šŸ˜†šŸ˜†

Flossing is an important oral hygiene habit. It cleans and dislodges food stuck between your teeth, which reduces the amount of bacteria and plaque in your mouth. Plaque is a sticky film that builds up on teeth and contributes to cavities and gum disease.

Flossing instructions

Break off about 18 to 24 inches of dental floss. To hold the floss correctly, wind most of the floss around both of your middle fingers. Leave only about 1 to 2 inches of floss for your teeth.

Next, hold the floss taut with your thumbs and index fingers.

Place the dental floss in between two teeth. Gently glide the floss up and down, rubbing it against both sides of each tooth. Don’t glide the floss into your gums. This can scratch or bruise yourĀ gums.

As the floss reaches your gums, curve the floss at the base of the tooth to form a C shape. This allows the floss to enter the space between your gums and your tooth.

Repeat the steps as you move from tooth to tooth. With each tooth, use a new, clean section of floss.

Gingivitis means inflammation of the gums, or gingiva. It commonly occurs because a film of plaque, or bacteria, accumulates on the teeth.

Gingivitis is a non-destructive type of periodontal disease, but untreated gingivitis can progress toĀ periodontitis. This is more serious and can eventually lead to loss of teeth.

Signs of gingivitis include-
red and puffy gums, that bleed easily when the person brushes their teeth.

Gingivitis often resolves with good oral hygiene, such as longer and more frequent brushing, and flossing. In addition, an antiseptic mouthwash may help.

In mild cases of gingivitis, patients may not even know they have it, because symptoms are mild. However, the condition should be taken seriously and addressed immediately.

The impact of saliva on oral cavity.

Saliva is a clear, tasteless, odorless, and mildly alkaline viscous and complex fluid that is composed mainly of water and inorganic and organic substances. Components include enzymes, proteins, immunoglobulins, electrolytes, and mucosal glycoprotiens.

In addition to functions like lubrication, digestion, cleansing, water level balance, and buffering, saliva is the first line of defense against infection as well. Proteins like lysozyme, mucins, cystatins, lactoferrin, cathelicidin, peroxidase, salivary agglutinins, and alpha and beta defensins have antiviral properties. Some of these proteins may reduce the replication of SARS-CoV-2.

A considerable decrease in salivary flow could then reduce the antiviral activity that saliva provides, making hyposalivation a significant risk factor for COVID-19. Certain drugs like anti-hypertensive medications, anti-cholinergic medications, and NSAIDs used in chronic conditions like hypertension and cardiovascular diseases cause hyposalivation, increasing COVID-19 risks.

COVID in relation to oral health.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus transmitted from person to person via droplets in the air or by contact with contaminated surfaces. It can have a significant impact on oral health, while oral health can influence a patient’s susceptibility to the virus as well
Bacterial flora and load in the oral cavity vary between people, depending on their oral care and associated chronic illnesses. For example, people with diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular diseases have altered biofilms. Their increased bacterial loads and COVID-19 infections can lead to super-infections. Hence, proper oral hygiene can reduce the severity of COVID.
Although this severity depends upon many host and viral factors, 80% of COVID-19 cases show mild symptoms, while 20% show severe symptoms due to already increased inflammatory markers and bacteria load due to dental problems. These cases also show increased neutrophil counts and decreased lymphocyte counts, suggesting bacterial super-infections.
