Materia Alba vs Plaque
====================
Many of us do not remember what the term Materia Alba means. That's why we'll talk about it today.
Materia Alba:-
Soft accumulations of bacteria and tissue cells that lack the organized structure of dental plaque.
Ok, I wonder what makes it different from Plaque?
The difference between them is that Plaque is formed on Tooth surfaces & Restorations surfaces, but Materia Alba is formed on Soft tissue, meaning you will find it, for example, on Gingiva and it will be easily displaced by water spray.
Share with us in the comments and tell us What terms are you confused about and want to know the difference between them?

β’ Acupuncture, as an alternative medicine originated in China 3,000 years ago. It is a technique done by inserting single disposable stainless steel needles at various acupuncture points in the body.
β’ Acupuncture activates small myelinated nerve fibers in muscle, which send impulses to the spinal cord and then activate the midbrain and pituitary hypothalamus.
β’ It has been shown that enkephalin, beta-endorphin, serotonin and nor adrenaline are involved in this process.
β’ There are several methods of acupuncture practiced these are classical acupuncture, Su-Jok, electro-acupuncture, laser and ear acupuncture.
β’ A number of studies have shown, it is very effective in temporomandibular joint disorders dysfunction and facial pain. In view of its beneficial results, several publications on acupuncture have been made during the recent years.
β’ Acupuncture points are situated all over the body. There are totally 12 meridians of which two meridian points are for controlling gag reflex.
β’ It is located on the anterior forearm, two thumb finger width horizontally proximal to the transverse crease, between the tendons of Palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis. Here perpendicular insertion of the needle is done up to a depth of 2 mm to 4 mm. Caution must be taken on over penetration since median nerve lies directly beneath this point.

SHAPE MEMORY
When a shape memory alloy is in its martensitic form, it is easily deformed to a new shape. However, when the alloy is heated through its transformation temperatures, it reverts to austenite and recovers its previous shape with great force. This process is known as shape memory.
The temperature at which the alloy remembers its high temperature form when heated can be adjusted by slight changes in alloy composition and through heat treatment. In the nickel titanium alloys, for instance, it can be changed from above +100 deg.C to below -100 deg.C. The shape recovery process occurs over a range of just a few degrees and the start or finish of the transformation can be controlled to within a degree or two if necessary.
SUPERELASTICITY
These unique alloys also show a superelastic behavior if deformed at a temperature which is slightly above their transformation temperatures. This effect is caused by the stress-induced formation of some martensite above its normal temperature. Because it has been formed above its normal temperature, the martensite reverts immediately to undeformed austenite as soon as the stress is removed. This process provides a very springy, "rubberlike" elasticity in these alloys.
Properties of nitinol shape memory alloys
Both forms the nitinol alloy are:
β’ Ductile: elongation to failure over 25%
β’ Strong: tensile strength up to 200,000 psi
β’ Biocompatible and extremely corrosion resistant
Martensite is:
β’ Fairly Weak: 10,000 to 20,000 psi deformation stress
β’ Able to absorb up to 8% recoverable strain
Austenite is:
β’ Strong: 35,000 to 100,000 psi yield strength

How does Nitinol work?
Shape memory alloys, such as nickel titanium, undergo a phase transformation in their crystal structure when cooled from the stronger, high temperature form (austenite) to the weaker, low temperature form (martensite). This inherent phase transformation is the basis for the unique properties of these alloys -- in particular, shape memory and superelasticity.
Causes of Pericoronitis
β’ Pericoronitis means inflammation of the tissue surrounding the crown a tooth.
So how does it occur?
β’ A tooth slowly come into the mouth. As it is coming in, it is partially covered in gum tissue. That gum tissue has a special name: it is called an Operculum.
β’ For lower wisdom teeth, there is usually insufficient space for the tooth to come in completely. As a result, the tooth gets stuck halfway in and canβt come in any further.
Food debris gets trapped underneath the gums, despite the patientsβ best efforts to keep it clean.
β’ The food collects bacteria, the bacteria multiply, leading to an infection. The infection leads to inflammation and pain.
Treatment of Pericoronitis
β’ Treatment will vary depending upon the severity and the progress of the infection.
β’ But in most cases, the sequence is:
βΊ Antibiotics for at least 48 hours.
βΊ Extraction of the offending tooth
either with local anesthesia or
with IV sedation.
If you suspect you have pericoronitis, you should contact your dentist ASAP.

+2β’ The photograph shows early stage pericoronitis of a lower left third molar on a patient. You can see food debris on the last tooth as well as slight redness and inflammation of the gum tissue.
β’ She also complained of pain in that area. Prescribed antibiotics andΒ extracted the wisdom tooth.
β’ Antiseptic mouthwashes contain Chlorhexidine Gluconate, which is a kind of antiseptic chemical which stops the growth of bacteria.
β’ Because of this nature of its properties, antiseptic mouthwash is often used for mild mouth infection and can also be used to fight bad breath.
β’ They are effective in such that they can prevent the build up of the plaque to a certain extent but this is only effective when you do it together with a right brushing and flossing.
β’ A regular dental visit at an interval not greater than every six months is still needed to have the stubborn plaque or calculus deposits removed. That is the only effective way to keep yourself away from gum infection and bad breath!
β’ Some people thought that antiseptic mouthwash has super power and they used it regularly to delay their dental visit. BUT DO YOU KNOW overuse of these high levels of chlorhexidine products can cause discolouration of the teeth over a long period of time. The stain will be even more pronounced in patients who have heavier accumulations of unremoved plaque.
β’ So instead of removing plaque to look better, your overuse of antiseptic mouthwash which causes stained teeth put you into a more embarrassed situation! If the stain happens, you will have to see your dentist to get them removed by their professional techniques else the stain could stay there forever!
So do you have a prolonged gum swelling, toothache or bad breath concern? Or have you been using any antiseptic mouthwash regularly?
Please be reminded that do not use antiseptic mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate for more than 14 days in a row. If you do and your dental concern still persist, please see your dentist immediately!!

+1A mouthwash is a solution which is frequently used to rinse away food particles and plaque from the teeth. Some people use it as a oral care routine.
But do you know NOT all types of mouthwash are suitable for daily use?
Antiseptic mouthwash is especially one of them.

Stillman cleft
The term Stillman cleft has been used to describe a specific type of gingival recession that consists of a narrow, triangular shaped gingival recession.
McCall festoon
The term McCall festoon has been used to describe a rolled, thickened band of gingiva that is usually seen adjacent to the cuspids when recession approaches the mucogingival junction.

β’ In this case a young girl , 13 years old, came to the clinic complaining from severe night pain in her lower first molar, during diagnosis and sensibility test (cold test) the girl feels of severe pain that last for a few seconds, the tooth was not tender to percusion and the X ray show no periapical changes, indicates the presence of irreversible pulpits, the father of the girl informed that according to the status of the pulp the treatment could be done with pulpatomy or pulpectomy(RCT) if the condition of the pulp not allowed the VPT.
β’ After all caries removal and the pulp chamber cleaned from the pulp tissue, hemostasis is achieved by using Sodium Hypochlorite and cotton in 5 minutes only, and the pulp tissue was red in color surrounded by clean dentin all around , thanks to God the pulp was in optimal condition to receive the VPT treatment.
β’ After getting hemostasis, the MTA mixed and applied over the pulp chamber area and covered by flowable light cure GIC and restored with GIC powder and liquid from GC as TF because he was the last patient, so I informed the parents to do the final restoration in the next couple weeks.
β’ Day later, her parents told me that the girl slept well at night and the pain is completely gone.
