Often patients suffer from dental care for both previous painful therapies that have created a rejection situation and for painful stress stories that the dentist's manoeuvres may cause. Given that today there are local anesthetics that, if correctly used, completely cancel the transmission of the pain stimulus, even the fears…
Surely the greatest satisfaction for a dentist is to restore the smile or the chewing ability to those who have lost these functions due to the loss of teeth. This result can be obtained with more or less sophisticated techniques designed to manufacture artefacts that are defined as prostheses. The…
When, usually due to deep caries, the dental pulp (that set of small blood vessels and nerves inside the crown and the roots of the tooth) irritates, the patient feels a very intense pain (pulpitis). If the pulp is subsequently infected with bacteria, pulpal necrosis occurs. The pulpitis must be…
For a long time, when the caries erupted part of the dental crown, it was necessary to restore the missing part by “silver filling". A material (the silver amalgam) was used and, although it has been a brilliant biomechanical solution for many years, it was unhealthy and very controversial since…
It is the branch of Odontostomatology that studies the functioning of Mandibular Temporal Joints (A.T.M.), the relationship between the dental elements of the two arches in the closing position (occlusion) and related functions (mainly swallowing and chewing). It is a very important science since the frenetic rhythms of modern life…
Surely losing your teeth is a not pleasant experience especially if the prospect is to replace them with removable implants that are not aesthetic and comfortable. Osteo-integrated implants allow today sophisticated solutions of great aesthetic and functional value in almost all edentulous situations. The insertion of the implants is a…
Intending orthodontics just as the therapy that allows to put the teeth in a row is now definitely reductive and delineates the problem of facial growth to the only aesthetic side. Getting a beautiful smile is the most striking thing and that most gratifies the young patient and the parent,…
While in the child and the teenager the main cause of tooth loss is caries, in the adult this is due to periodontal diseases that do not attack the tooth, but its supportive tissues (gingiva, alveolar bone, ligament periodontal, root cement).The main cause of these diseases is the long stay…
Dental therapies to be implemented on the child are identified with the term pedodontics. Only apparently these therapies may seem similar to those implemented on the adult, in fact the child presents very special clinical aspects due to the presence of baby dentition, the relative frequency of traumatic events, the…
The philosophy of the Santoro dental practice is to achieve the health of the oral cavity as soon as possible and to maintain this situation as long as possible. Given these premises we firmly believe in the importance of sharing with the patient the basic concepts of all those actions…
in the Santoro dental practice radiological equipment has been always upgraded to the best possible standards, in the belief that these devices are a very important mean of helping the clinician in the diagnostic and therapeutic phases. The practice has three radiographic apparatus for performing endo-oral plates and an orthopantomograph-teleradiography.…
