Ostoesineiden

Ostoesineiden is a term used in the field of dentistry to describe the condition where the roots of teeth are exposed due to the recession of the gums. This condition can occur for various reasons, including aggressive brushing, gum disease, trauma, or genetic factors. The exposed roots of the teeth are more susceptible to decay and sensitivity, which can lead to pain and discomfort.

The primary treatment for ostoesineiden involves gum grafting, a procedure where gum tissue is taken from another part of the mouth and transplanted to the area where the gums have receded. This helps to cover the exposed roots and protect them from further damage. In some cases, dental crowns may be used to cover the exposed roots and provide additional protection.

Prevention of ostoesineiden involves maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing and flossing, and visiting the dentist for routine check-ups. Early detection and treatment of gum disease can also help prevent the condition. In cases where the recession is severe, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to correct any underlying bite issues that contribute to the recession.
