The term includes the use of operative procedures with the common goal of inserting dental implants in the jawbone. Only implants replace lost dental canals and enable support to fixed prosthetic or removable prosthetic substitutes (crowns, bridges or dentures).
 
 
The term is frequently misused, but combines almost all previously described dental procedures with the goal of a certain aesthetic improvement. Aesthetic and nice teeth are usually a sign of healthy dental and interdental tissue.
 
 
The term root canal treatments include therapeutic procedures, which are strictly curative in nature, as they heal teeth that already have damaged dental centres or tooth pulp. The procedures enable that patients preserve their own teeth even though the tooth’s vital part has died (process can be accompanied by typical toothaches). The main reason for this is still caries, which progresses because of belated conservative treatments
 
 
Also children require dental care. Dental care with young patients is somewhat specific especially from the viewpoint of psychological preparation. It demands a lot of time, patience and cooperation with parents. The procedures are predominantly preventive in nature, as this is the main condition for the absence of much too needed curative procedures in later years.
 
 
Prosthetic treatments include procedures where we replace already lost teeth, which include also the substitution of crowns at tooth implants. Substitutes are primarily fixed prosthetics (crowns, bridges, inlays, and overlays, aesthetic scales), those which the patient cannot voluntarily remove from the mouth. Substitutes are typically aesthetic, fixed and above all functional. If anatomical or other conditions in the mouth do not allow the making of fixed prosthetic replacements, we use removable prosthetics (partial or total dentures), which the patient can typically remove from the mouth when required. They have the quality of simplicity and uncomplicated manufacturing although at the expense of lesser stability and therefore less comfort.
 
 
Oral surgery of the oral cavity includes procedures that take place on interdental tissues (gums, bones) with the goal of preservation or extraction of teeth. Very common are teeth extractions, especially wisdom teeth, a little less known is apicoectomy or the removal of the root tip of the tooth, augmentation or the addition of bone material to the upper jaw or maxilla, surgeries, etc. The procedures are painless, but mostly quite bloody.
 
 
Periodontal disease or periodontitis (as commonly inappropriately misnamed) is the most common disease in the oral cavity. The damage is a gradual loss of the jawbone and with it the loss of otherwise intact teeth. The disease begins as gum bleeding or gingivitis (acute inflammation of the gums), the main reason for it is poor dental hygiene, and continues with the decay of it and the jawbone. The treatment includes procedures that remove plaque and damaged surface of the canals: polishing and smoothing.
 
 
Conservative treatments involve procedures that preserve the presence of tooth matter and do not use prosthetic substitutes (crowns, bridges). Most common approaches with these types of treatments are the making of amalgam or composite fillings, building of crowns with artificial fillings, which form definitely in the mouth without the intervention of dental technical laboratories.
 
 
The first condition for successful therapy or prevention is the use of X-ray images. We differentiate between local x-ray images and scan images or ORTOPAN. The use of dental radiology has greatly relieved patients and therapists, as radiation doses are much smaller in comparison to conventional radiology. Digital imaging requires no chemicals for the development, which is also good news for environmental protection.
 
 
Dental hygiene is one of the most important factors in the preservation and regain of oral health and at the same time the most you yourself can do for your teeth. Dental procedures can be useless, where there is no daily care for hygiene. For the maintenance of dental hygiene we use different tools: toothbrush, floss, interdental brushes, and electrical brushes, which all work only if we really use them.
