What are the causes of TMD?
TMD is a complex disorder that could be a combination of multiple fractures. The causes can include arthritis, trauma, and anatomic variants of the joint cavity. Muscular pain or myofacial pain is the most common type of pain and this could be due to habits such as clenching and grinding or to compensate for the discomfort in the joint due to other causes.

Impacted teeth are teeth that are unable to move into the mouth. The most commonly impacted teeth are wisdom teeth followed by maxillary (upper) canines. Maxillary canines are the most commonly treated impacted teeth in children. Failures of teeth to erupt (come into the mouth) can be due to an obstruction, genetic changes, and/or head and neck syndromes. Supernumerary teeth (extra teeth) and tumors can cause an obstruction or blockage in the pathway for the tooth to move down to the mouth. Inadequate space can also cause impactions.

A dental implant is a tooth replacement procedure that involves use of a prosthetic root and crown to replace a missing tooth. The post is surgically planted on the jawbone to mimic a natural tooth root while the crown is fixed on it to perfectly take up the space left by the lost or extracted tooth. The treatment is fairly invasive and might require more than just one office appointment.

Why should I take out my wisdom teeth in my teens?
Extraction at an early age lowers the risk of nerve injury. The best time to take them out is when the roots are not fully grown and they are far away from the nerve.

What is tissue engineering?
Tissue engineering is a recipe for bone creating. Formation of the bone requires a scaffold, a signal, and stem cells. Science and technology allowed us to build bone using these components. The scaffold is the structure that supports the new bone to fill in. The signal is sent by growth factors or synthetic proteins that recruit stem cells (PRP, Rh-BMP-2, Gem21). Stem cells are mother cells that have the potential to become different tissues in your body such as bone. Combining the components will allow the formation of new bone. BMP, PRP, Gem 21 and BMAC are different modalities used for tissue engineering.

Our dental specialists are experts in tissue engineering to create a good platform for implant placement.
