It is important to have knowledge of the Anatomy and development of your teeth and mouth in order to maintain good oral health. The mouth is important not only in speech and as a receptacle for food but also plays an important part in the digestive system. The normal anatomy of the mouth includes the oral cavity, which is composed of the hard and soft palates; the mucosa, or tissues lining the upper and lower sections of the mouth as well as the tissues lining the inner cheeks; the gingiva, or gums, surrounding the teeth; as well as the tongue, uvula, tonsils, and salivary gland openings. The small bands of tissue that run from the top and sides of the oral cavity to the inner cheek and both upper and lower lip tissues are called the frenum. It is concerned with the naming of teeth and the structures of which they are made, this information serving a practical purpose in dental treatment.

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth. A dental implant is a titanium post (like a tooth root) that is surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath the gum line that allows your dentist to mount replacement teeth or a bridge into that area. An implant doesn't come loose like a denture can. Dental implants also benefit general oral health because they do not have to be anchored to other teeth, like bridges. Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth.

Dental instruments are tools that dental professionals use to provide dental treatment. They include tools to examine, manipulate, treat, restore and remove teeth and surrounding oral structures. Standard instruments are the instruments used to examine, restore and extract teeth and manipulate tissues. These tools allow dental professionals to manipulate tissues for better visual access during treatment or during dental examination.

The dental nurse plays an important role in the organisation and management of the dental practice, assists the dentist in all aspects of patient treatment and plays a vital role in patient care. The main duties of a dental nurse include infection prevention and control, chair-side assistance, preparation and maintenance of the dental surgery and patient care.

A dental robot has been created that can perform dental procedures. Robots, the most wonderful invention of human being, have made its way into dentistry. The necessary technologies have been developed and experimented which would help it to be adapted in dentistry. With unmatched precision and ability to work without fatigue, robots are the most useful applications of robotic technology. The main aim of this paper is to review the application of robotics in dentistry.

US demand for dental products and materials will rise 3.4 percent yearly to $12.7 billion in 2019. Cosmetic and repair/restorative products will be the fastest growing professional products. Among consumer products, value-added formulations will drive the dominant toothpaste segment. Polymers, ceramics and minerals will lead gains in dental materials. The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share.

Dental pharmacology is the study of drugs used to treat conditions of the oral cavity. Some of these drugs include antibiotics, analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-periodontitis agents.

3D Virtual Imaging is one of the most significant tools for orthodontists to evaluate and record size and form of craniofacial structures. Orthodontists regularly use 2-dimensional (2D) static imaging procedures, but deepness of structures cannot be acquired and restricted with 2D imaging. Three-dimensional (3D) imaging has been developed in the early of 1990's and has gained a prized place in dentistry, particularly in orthodontics. In 3D diagnostic imaging, a series of anatomical records is gathered using certain technical equipment, processed by a computer and later presented on a 2D monitor to present the illusion of deepness.

CAD/CAM dentistry is a field of dentistry and prosthodontics using CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) to improve the design and creation of dental restorations, especially dental prostheses, including crowns, crown lays, veneers, inlays and onlays, fixed bridges, dental implant restorations, dentures (removable or fixed), and orthodontic appliances. CAD/CAM technology allows the delivery of a well-fitting, aesthetic and a durable prostheses for the patient.

Lasers have been used in dentistry since 1994 to treat a number of dental problems. Lasers are used to remove decay within a tooth and prepare the surrounding enamel for receipt of the filling. Lasers are used to speed up in-office teeth whitening procedures. A peroxide bleaching solution, applied to the tooth surface, is ''activated" by laser energy, which speeds up of the whitening process.

Dentistry keeps on changing, especially on account of the advances in clinical dentistry, materials, and innovation. These progressions offer open doors for both patients and dental practices alike. Presently patients can profit by the advances in clinical dentistry and dental practices can profit by the chance to move their business in a forward bearing. Today, there is no purpose behind anybody in dentistry to gripe about being exhausted, ineffective or at a level. Dental practices need to continually take a gander at the accessible choices.

Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance of teeth, gums and/or bite. It primarily focuses on improvement in dental aesthetics in color, position, shape, size, alignment and overall smile appearance.  Many dentists refer to themselves as "cosmetic dentists" regardless of their specific education, specialty, training, and experience in this field

Forensic dentistry or forensic odontology is the application of dental knowledge to those criminal and civil laws that are enforced by police agencies in a criminal justice system. Forensic dentistry is the proper handling, examination and evaluation of dental evidence, which will be then presented in the interest of justice. This is done using dental records including radiographs, ante-mortem (prior to death) and post-mortem (after death) photographs and DNA.

Holistic dentistry, also known as biological dentistry, takes into account a person’s entire state of physical and emotional health. Holistic dentists use natural therapies (often in combination with conventional ones) to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases of the oral cavity. Holistic dentistry is an alternative approach that focuses on the use of non-toxic restorative materials for dental work, and emphasizes the unrecognized impact that dental toxins and dental infections may have on a person's overall health. While traditional dentistry focuses only on the areas above the neck, holistic dentistry looks at the patient as a whole system and how the mouth relates to the rest of the body.

Geriatric dentistry is the delivery of dental care to older adults involving diagnosis, prevention, management and treatment of problems associated with age related diseases. The world’s population is currently ageing with the number and proportion of elderly people growing substantially. Between the years of 2000-2005 to 2010-2015 life expectancy at birth rose from 67.2 to 70.8 years. By 2045-2050 it is projected to continue increase to 77 years. This increasing longevity can be majorly attributed to advances in modern medicine and medical technology.

Micro dentistry is an advanced dental process that allows for the treatment of tooth decay while preserving more of the tooth's structure than traditional methods. Micro dentistry uses modern dental technology, like the Waterlase dental laser, to conservatively remove decay and leave as much of the healthy areas of the tooth in place as possible.

Extending nanotechnology into the field of dentistry thereby makes Nano dentistry an emerging field with significant potential to yield new generation of clinical tools, mate­rials and devices for oral health care. Nano dentistry is said to be the future of dentistry where all procedures are to be per­formed using Nano robots that may become a replacement to the present day dental assis­tants, technicians & hygienists.

The fear of the dentist is one of the most common fears people experience in our modern-day age. People report experiencing anxiety,and they worry that whatever the dentist is going to do will cause them extreme pain. A number of dental procedures have always been able to be performed without pain. However, if you are particularly sensitive or you’re having problems with your teeth, what might be pain-free for someone could make you uncomfortable.

Pediatric dentists are dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teen years. They have the experience and qualifications to care for a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout the various stages of childhood. Children begin to get their baby teeth during the first 6 months of life. By age 6 or 7 years, they start to lose their first set of teeth, which eventually are replaced by secondary, permanent teeth.

Preventive dentistry is the practice of caring for your teeth to keep them healthy. This helps to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more. There are many forms of preventive dentistry, such as daily brushing and dental cleanings. To maintain optimal oral health, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends visits to the dentist at regular intervals determined by a dentist. These practices are designed to ensure that teeth are clean, strong, and white. Children should be taught proper oral hygiene at an early age.

“Restorative Dentistry” is the term dental professionals use to explain how they replace missing or damaged teeth. Fillings, crowns (“caps”), bridges and implants are common restorative options. The goal is to bring back your natural smile and prevent future oral health issues. The most common way to treat a cavity is for your dentist to remove the decay and fill the tooth with one of several different materials. These filling materials include gold, porcelain, silver amalgam (which consists of mercury mixed with silver, tin, zinc and copper), tooth-colored plastic or composite resin.

The ultimate aim of Gerodontology is to improve the quality of life and oral health of older people. The boundaries of most conventional dental specialties must be repeatedly crossed to provide optimal dental care for older people. In addition, management of other health problems impacts on dental care and clinicians need knowledge in these numerous overlapping areas.

Endodontics encompasses the study (practice) of the basic and clinical sciences of normal dental pulp, the etiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and injuries of the dental pulp along with associated periradicular conditions. Endodontics has evolved tremendously in the past decade and its applications have immensely improved the quality of dental treatment. In clinical terms, endodontics involves either preserving part, or all of the dental pulp in health, or removing all of the pulp in irreversible disease. This includes teeth with irreversibly inflamed and infected pulpal tissue. Not only does endodontics involve treatment when a dental pulp is present, but also includes preserving teeth which have failed to respond to non-surgical endodontic treatment, or for teeth that have developed new lesions.

Hypnodontics is the art and science of using hypnosis to induce comfortable and pain free dental visits. Hypnosis is used to reduce stress and induce anesthesia so that less medication is used. Hard to manage patients often present the majority of problems the dentist encounters in their daily routine. They take extra time and require special consideration by the dentist and the staff. Hard to manage patients often put off going to the dentist until the pain or dental problem can no longer be ignored. There are numerous reasons why these patients are fearful, tense, nervous and anxious before, during, and even after the dental visit. These patients will complain of extreme anxiety prior to a simple check-up and repeatedly request tranquilizers to help them cope. Hypnosis can easily alleviate the tension, nervousness and unreasonable fear of pain often exhibited by these patients.

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal disease, and cause extra stress on the chewing muscles that can lead to headaches, TMJ syndrome and neck, shoulder and back pain. Teeth that are crooked or not in the right place can also detract from one's appearance. The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing appearance, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime.

Periodontists are dentistry's e​xperts in treating periodontal disease. They receive up to three additional years of specialized training in periodontal disease treatment in both non-surgical treatments and periodontal plastic surgery procedures. Periodontists are also experts in replacing missing teeth with dental implants. key topics: Non-Surgical Treatments, Gum Graft Surgery, Laser Treatment, Regenerative Procedures, Dental Crown Lengthening, Dental Implants, Pocket Reduction Procedures, Plastic Surgery Procedures.

Prosthodontics is the dental specialty primarily concerned with the restoration and replacement of lost or damaged teeth. Sometimes called the “architects of the smile,” prosthodontists are highly trained specialists with a unique understanding of all the elements that go into a beautiful, functional and natural-looking smile—not just the teeth, but also the gums, lips, and facial features. When it comes to planning and carrying out a full-scale smile makeover, a team of dental professionals is often required; many times, that team is captained by a prosthodontist.

Oral cancer, otherwise called mouth cancer, is a sort of head and neck cancer and is any Carcinogenic tissue development situated in the oral cavity. It shows up as a development or sore in the mouth that does not leave. Oral disease, which embodies expansion of the lips, tongue, cheeks, the floor of the mouth, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and pharynx (throat), can be severe if not investigated and medicated initially. Oral cancer is dealt with a similar way numerous different tumors are treated with surgery to expel the harmful development, followed by therapy as well as chemotherapy (drug medications) to destroy any residual cancer cells.

For most people, the basics of good dental hygiene are taught from a very early age – and with good reason. Teeth serve multiple purposes, all of which are important to varying degrees. A person’s ability to masticate is perhaps the primary reason for teeth, as it helps make the digestion of food possible. One’s appearance, from their smile to the shape of their face, is also dependent on their teeth. As useful and important as teeth are, however, they are not indestructible. In fact, they are susceptible to a number of problems that can potentially result in their loss. Fortunately, these problems are often preventable if a person adheres to good dental habits. To develop these habits, it is important to understand what the potential threats are and how to avoid them.
