Overview of Dental Treatment

Dental treatment is a broad field within dentistry, which includes the treatment of common conditions such as: tooth decay treatment, treatment of hard tissue damage not caused by tooth decay, treatment of pulp and root diseases, treatment of periodontal diseases, and many other conditions.

Dental Treatment Methods at Herident Dental Clinic

Tooth Decay Treatment

Tooth decay treatment is a combination of preventive treatment, remineralization treatment, fillings to control tooth decay, and permanent fillings

Tooth Decay Treatment by Preventive Care

Level 1 Prevention

Preventing the disease from occurring: dental education, tooth brushing instructions, use of fluoride, pit and fissure sealants…

Level 2 Prevention

Preventing progression: Minimal intervention treatment, composite resin fillings, Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC)…

Level 3 Prevention

Preventing complications: Dental restorations, tooth extraction

Tooth restoration filling

Depending on the location of the cavity, the requirements for chewing force, and aesthetic considerations, different permanent filling materials may be chosen.

GIC fillings

Advantages
  • Good adhesion to enamel and dentin
  • Relative aesthetic quality
  • Fluoride release
Disadvantages
  • Prone to wear and may break or fracture
Indications

Permanent fillings for different types of cavities, base filling for composite restorations, and tooth fillings for patients with advanced tooth decay or a high risk of cavities. Generally less commonly used for the anterior teeth.

Composite fillings

Advantages
  • Good adhesion to enamel and dentin
  • High aesthetic quality, stable tooth color, natural-looking
  • Better wear resistance than GIC
Disadvantages
  • It may cause sensitivity to the teeth
  • There is a risk of marginal gaps and secondary tooth decay due to shrinkage of the filling material.
  • Requires precise technique and advanced equipment
Indications
  • Permanent fillings for primary teeth and permanent teeth
  • Anterior Teeth Restorations
  • cervical teeth restorations

Early treatment of tooth decay with ICON resin infiltration

Advantages
  • It is a resin infiltration method that deeply penetrates and provides maximum protection for tooth tissue (without the use of a drill), offering a natural tooth-like color thanks to its light refraction properties.
Disadvantages
  • May Stain Over Time
Indications
  • Used for the treatment of white spots caused by various factors: early tooth decay, trauma, enamel hypoplasia of incisors and molars (MIH), or white spots after orthodontic treatment.

Treatment of Hard Tissue Lesions Not Caused by Caries

Treatment of Tooth Wear

In Patients with BruxismUsing a bruxism splint serves as both a preventive measure and a complementary treatment. At Herident, we currently offer a custom-fitted bruxism splint that conforms closely to the patient's dental arch.

For Patients with Tooth Wear Due to Bad Habits (Biting floss, biting hard objects, brushing teeth horizontally) requires guidance and monitoring to eliminate bad habits in patients.

Patients with tooth wear often experience symptoms of sensitivity due to dentin hypersensitivityTreatment can be done with at-home products (such as Sensodyne toothpaste, mouthwash…) or by using dentin hypersensitivity products at the dental clinic.

Restoration treatment:A full-mouth rehabilitation may be necessary, followed by a temporary restoration for about 2-3 months before proceeding with the permanent restoration treatment.

Incompleted Enamel Formation Treatment

There are several causes of incomplete enamel formation: infection, trauma, poor nutrition, fluorosis, or genetics.

Types of Pathology:
  • Enamel Hypoplasia: Due to abnormalities in the process of forming the protein matrix that supports tooth enamel, there is insufficient enamel quantity, but the quality remains normal
  • Enamel Hypomineralization: Abnormalities in the process of enamel mineralization lead to soft enamel that is easily detached from the dentin, resulting in opaque tooth color (yellow or brown).
  • Immature Enamel: For teeth that are not fully matured, the tooth size and enamel thickness are normal, but the enamel is soft, easily detached, and prone to tooth wear.

Tooth Discoloration Treatment

  • Physiological Staining: Scaling and polishing the surface
  • Pathological Staining:
    Mild staining can easily be treated with either in-office whitening or at-home whitening methods.
    Severe staining: Whitening is recommended, followed by restorative procedures such as veneers or crowns

Pulp Diseases Treatment

Conservative Pulp Treatment

Pulp capping
  • Indications for cases of reversible pulpitis, dentin caries, and dentin hypersensitivity.Vật liệu che tủy: Ca(OH)2: Alkaline pH, neutralizes inflamed tissue, and stimulates the formation of a calcified barrier to protect the dental pulp

    Biomaterials such as MTA, Biodentine…

    Fill above using hardening materials such as Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) or Composite resin.

Pulp Chamber Removal
  • This is a method of removing the inflamed pulp from the pulp chamber while preserving the root pulp, allowing the tooth root to develop normally. It is particularly used for immature teeth with an open apex that have pulp damage due to inflammation or trauma.
  • Procedure: Anesthesia, isolating the tooth with a rubber dam => Removing all damaged pulp tissue, controlling bleeding in the root pulp => Placing medication on the pulp tissue (Ca(OH)2 or MTA, Biodentine), restoring the tooth with composite resin.
Root Canal Treatment
  • Indicated in cases of irreversible pulpitis, pulp necrosis, and apical pathology.
  • Procedure Take X-rays, evaluate, and diagnose => Give an anesthesia if needed, isolate the tooth => Open the pulp, create access to the root canals => Clean, enlarge, and shape the root canals using file systems => Seal the root canals with gutta-percha and sealer (Bioroot, …) or MTA => Restore the tooth structure with filling materials (GIC, composite) and restorations (overlay, endocrown, crown) to restore the tooth’s shape and prevent fracture.
Treatment of apical pathology
  • Apical pathology can be a subsequent condition to pulp disease or result from various other causes such as: periapical inflammation, dental trauma, or complications from root canal treatment...
  • The symptoms of apical pathology are very diverse: they may include swelling, severe pain, fever, and fatigue (with acute periapical periodontitis), or there may be no clear symptoms, with a fistula and abscess (in chronic periapical periodontitis)
  • Treatment of periapical periodontitis
    Endodontic treatment: Completely remove infected tissue from the root canal, properly drain inflamed tissue around the root, and seal the root canal system.
    Surgical treatment: when the damage is too extensive or when endodontic treatment has been performed but the root pathology has not progressed well
Root canal re-treatment

Not all initial root canal treatments yield the best results. Therefore, root canal re-treatment plays an important role in preserving the tooth without the need for surgery, requiring meticulousness, patience, and specialized equipment.
Procedure

  • X-ray, diagnosis, and assessment of the difficulty level of the treatment
  • Remove the crown and old filling material from the tooth crown
  • Remove the old filling material from the root canal
  • Clean and reshape the root canal system
  • Obturate the root canal system
  • Restore the tooth crown

Teeth Whitening

Indication

  • Staining due to age
  • Pathological staining: mild to moderate tetracycline staining, mild fluorosis
  • Patients aged 18 and above

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Material: 35% Hydrogen peroxide combined with a light source.

Procedure steps:

  • Shade comparison, take photos before whitening
  • Cleaning, teeth polishing, drying, and isolation of the teeth
  • Drying, isolation to protect the gums with Opaldam
  • Apply the medication to the teeth and activate with light for about 8 minutes, repeat 2-3 times depending on the patient's sensitivity level.
  • Remove the gel layer, rinse off the medication, evaluate the shade, and take post-treatment photos.

Instruct the patient: avoid pigmented foods, staining substances, and do not smoke after whitening

In house teeth whitening

Advantages: High effectiveness, safety, low cost, minimal sensitivity in the teeth, fewer follow-up visits.

Disadvantages: Slow color improvement, long tray-wearing time, requires patient cooperation.

Materials: Carbamide peroxide 10%, 15%, and 20%.

Wearing time is 2-8 hours per day.

Instruct and care for the patient

  • Brush the teeth with specialized toothpaste before whitening or with toothpaste for dentin sensitivity.
  • Do not eat or drink while wearing the tray.
  • Avoid coffee, foods with strong coloring agents, and tea.

Combination teeth whitening.

Initially, in-office teeth whitening is performed, followed by at-home teeth whitening if necessary, with a duration of approximately 2-5 days or 1 week

Frequently Asked Questions About Braces

Tooth with enamel loss ,it is entirely possible to cover the tooth with a dental crown, and in many cases, this is an effective solution to protect the tooth and improve aesthetics.

Reasons to cover a tooth with a dental crown when enamel is lost:

  • Reasons to cover a tooth with a dental crown when enamel is lost: When enamel is lost, the tooth becomes more sensitive and vulnerable to damage. A dental crown creates a strong protective layer on the outside, helping to protect the natural tooth from external factors such as bacteria, food, and temperature.
  • Reduce sensitivity: Teeth with enamel loss are often sensitive to hot and cold temperatures, or when eating acidic foods. A dental crown placed over the tooth helps minimize this sensitivity, providing greater comfort.
  • Aesthetic restoration: Enamel loss can cause teeth to become discolored, uneven, or lose their natural shine. A dental crown not only restores the natural shape and color of the tooth but also provides a more aesthetic smile.
