Specialty "Dentistry" (specialty)

Table: how to figure out who to contact

All dentists conduct an examination, consultation, draw up a treatment plan and perform a thorough diagnosis of the entire oral cavity. In modern dentistry, an integrated approach to each clinical situation is valued, taking into account all the individual characteristics of the patient’s body.

Main directions in dentistry

Dentistry is a science that studies the normal and pathological functioning and structure of teeth, their diseases, as well as methods of treatment and prevention of diseases of the jaw, oral cavity and maxillofacial area.

Dental diseases

Dental disease is perhaps the most common human disease in the world. According to statistics, at least 90% of the world's population needs a dentist. Such a wide distribution of these diseases poses challenges for healthcare aimed at improving treatment methods, developing preventive measures for the occurrence of dental diseases, and studying the causes of dental diseases. Dental diseases include pulpitis, caries, and periodontitis. In addition, in practice in dentistry in Minsk, there are various manifestations of dentin and enamel deficiency, which have a completely different clinic and etiology.

Therapeutic dentistry

Studies the causes and mechanisms of development and occurrence of diseases of periodontal tissues and teeth, oral organs, prevention, diagnosis and development of treatment methods. Thanks to the achievements of modern dentistry in Minsk, we can successfully prevent caries and periodontal diseases. Currently, dentistry is divided into periodontology, cariesology and diseases of the oral cavity. However, they should not be separated into independent sections of dentistry.

Orthopedic dentistry

This is a special branch of dentistry that studies the mechanisms of development and occurrence of diseases, anomalies, damage and deformations of the jaws, teeth and other organs of the oral cavity and the adjacent areas of the neck and face. This field of dentistry is also responsible for developing methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Surgical dentistry

One of the most independent areas of dentistry, which examines surgical injuries and diseases of the oral cavity, neck and face, and skeletal bones of the face, for which complex treatment is indicated. Surgical dentistry is very closely related to many other areas of dentistry: orthopedics, therapy, pediatric dentistry - and uses common methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The connection between these sections of dentistry is due to the physiological and anatomical unity of the teeth, oral cavity, maxillofacial area and the joint processes occurring in these organs of pathological processes. Systemic dental treatment often consists of various sequential dental treatment measures using therapeutic dentistry, prosthetic dentistry and surgical dentistry.

Dentist-therapist

The main field of activity of this doctor: treatment and prevention of caries and its complications. What manipulations does:

• treatment of caries;
• endodontics (work in root canals) for pulpitis, periodontitis;
• root canal retreatment;
• chipped fillings, tooth walls;
• carrying out treatment using a microscope (treatment of caries, work in canals);
• providing assistance for acute toothache.

The therapist also conducts a thorough examination and can refer the patient to related specialists if he notices any pathology.

Dental hygienist

A dental hygienist has a secondary professional medical education. A prerequisite for working as a hygienist is to successfully complete the course “Preventive Dentistry”. What does a dental hygienist do:

• professional oral hygiene;
• treatment of gums with the Vector device;
• whitening;
• provides training in proper oral hygiene;
• selection of personal hygiene products;
• deals with the prevention of gum disease in adults and children.

In short, the main area of ​​work of a dental hygienist is the removal of dental plaque (tartar, plaque). It is important to see a hygienist every six months to maintain oral health.

Directions of modern dentistry

Today there are many areas in this field of medicine, among which the following should be highlighted:

Aesthetic direction. It includes teeth whitening and cosmetic restoration.

Therapeutic direction. This area includes treatment of dental canals, therapy of pulpitis and periodontitis, filling, removal of tartar and a set of preventive measures, the purpose of which is to prevent the development of diseases of the oral cavity.

Surgical direction. This area of ​​dentistry is considered one of the most highly developed. This direction consists of various procedures and manipulations, which include tooth extraction, treatment of alveolitis, as well as periostitis using surgical intervention. This area of ​​dentistry includes lip frenulum surgery, flap surgery and gingivotomy.

Periodontology . Doctors working in this direction treat diseases of the gums and periodontal pockets, not excluding their curettage. Therapy of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity includes procedures for applying therapeutic bandages and splints.

Orthodontic direction. Doctors specializing in this field help correct malocclusion; they install braces, regardless of the patient’s age. Doctors also install various orthodontic devices.

Orthopedic direction. It involves carrying out work on dental prosthetics using materials such as ceramics and metal-ceramics. This area of ​​dentistry includes the production of removable teeth, inlays, clasp and nylon dentures, various types of crowns and bridges.

Dental implantation. This direction is responsible for the introduction of artificial implants into the bone tissue of the jaws.

Orthopedic dentist

Dental services include dental prosthetics. It is the orthopedic dentist who deals with all types of dental restoration using orthopedic structures. These include:

• crowns;
• bridges;
• veneers, lumineers;
• inlays, overlays;
• mouthguards, splints;
• temporary structures for long-term orthopedic treatment;
• removable and fixed dentures;
• prosthetics on implants.

Reiter

We work in all areas of dentistry. We do not limit ourselves when using modern technologies and try to offer modern dental treatment systems. We work in dental therapy, orthodontics, orthopedics and surgery. Among other things, the clinic’s dentists perform teeth cleaning and enamel whitening. It is not difficult for us to work with modern technology, since all our doctors undergo the latest advanced training courses in all areas.

Main directions

Dental implantation

Dental prosthetics

Orthodontics

Therapy

Hygiene

The clinic offers treatment in orthopedic dentistry. Thanks to this direction, patients have the opportunity to restore the natural appearance of their teeth through crowns (several types of dental crowns are offered by our doctors at the clinic). We treat teeth using bridges and orthopedic structures, which are difficult to distinguish from natural teeth. We try to choose the color of the orthopedic materials so that it matches your teeth.

Dental implantation treatment is being performed at Reiter's dental clinic. We try to save all teeth and restore teeth from small remains, but if this is not possible, then we offer dental implantation in Moscow. Implantation allows you to restore a tooth (an artificial tooth), which will return you to full dental anatomy and functionality. In addition to implantation, your tooth will need a crown, which is installed on the implant and takes part in all processes of the tooth (mechanical role of the tooth, anatomical function of the tooth crown).

Another area of ​​our dentistry in Moscow is orthodontics. In orthodontics, we see patients who need braces or orthodontic aligners. To correct the bite, we use modern technology and modern orthodontists. We have accumulated experience in orthodontics, which our doctors received not only in our clinic, but also in other dental centers throughout their professional careers.

Our next direction is therapy in dentistry. A fairly common problem encountered in dentistry is the treatment of carious cavities. It is very important to properly treat carious lesions, get rid of tissue destroyed by microbes and not form too large a cavity at the expense of healthy tissue (hypersensitivity to various types of irritation may occur). One of the important points in modern therapy is pain relief, which must be done very quickly and it must completely relieve the patient of increased sensitivity in the treatment area.

Surgeons at our clinic have to deal with some surgical problems, remove teeth and treat secondary pathologies. Our patients may need a dental surgeon when, during treatment (by another specialist at our clinic), a surgical pathology is identified and it needs to be treated quite promptly. Also, patients with primary pathology are registered with surgeons, the treatment of which is not difficult for our doctors.

The clinic develops hygienic areas and modern teeth whitening systems. We can offer you clinical whitening systems using special devices, or we can offer you a home teeth whitening system of the latest generation.

Pediatric dentist

Treatment and extraction of teeth for patients under 18 years of age is carried out by a pediatric dentist. When working with young patients, the primary task is to find contact with the child and get him ready for treatment, because almost all children enter any medical office with fear. In addition, the children's doctor needs to tell the child's parents how to carry out home oral hygiene for the baby, what products to use, when the physiological change of teeth occurs, etc.

Maintaining dental health from a very early age is necessary for the normal formation of the dental system.

Gnathologist

Not everyone has heard of this doctor, and this is no accident. This profession is very rare.

This specialist deals with pathologies of the temporomandibular joint. If the patient is bothered by clicking in the joint, pain when opening the mouth, tooth wear, discomfort in the joint when chewing, then it is necessary to contact a gnathologist to eliminate the pathology.

  Thank you for your article, I learned a lot of new things. I had never had any problems with my teeth in my life, so there was no need to understand the areas of dentistry. And now the situation has changed, the first signs of dental ill health have appeared, we have to figure it out. First, I’ll go to my city free dentistry, then maybe I’ll go to a private clinic. Thank you for the clarification
