What is hypercementosis?
Hypercementosis concerns the condition characterized by the overgrowth of cement, tissue that normally dresses the roots of the teeth. Some patients may have symptoms such as pain and inflammation around the roots of the teeth, while others are asymptomatic and the condition is only identified during routine dental screening. The best treatment may depend on the cause and symptoms; Patients who have no other dental problems and have no symptoms, for example, do not need any specific teeth care beyond tracking complications. The dentist may apply for further testing to confirm that the patient has hypercemental and not cement -plastic, cement cancer. Both conditions are characterized by excessive tissue growth, but one is malignant and can cause complications when spreading through the jaw. Patients with cementoblastoma need cancer treatment to arrest growth and prevent repetition in order to protect teeth and jaws.
uAsymptomatic patients may be recorded on X -rays, where the cement may seem enlarged. A dentist may perform a physical examination to check the sensitivity and inflammation in this area and if the patient seems healthy, the best treatment may not be any treatment at all. Other dentures may check the progress of the patient and patients can also report the onset of pain and tenderness if it happens. This approach minimizes the risk of complications from invasive procedures such as infections or inflammation.
If the patient has symptoms or hypercementosis is associated with another health condition such as glandular disorder, treatment may be required. Basic problems can be treated with another medical specialist and the dentist can be able to perform excess cement solutions and cause the patient to feel more comfortable. Pain and inflammation can also be treated with drugs, while gum disease may require frequent cleaning and further steps to ensure the level of control.
Dental problems can cause larger systemic disorders such as infections in the blood vessels of the heart if they are not treated. Patients who notice tenderness and irritation in the mouth should visit a dentist to obtain an evaluation, and it is advisable to visit the dentist according to the recommended check -up schedule. This includes the opportunity to brush teeth, X -rays to check the problems and perform a physical test to evaluate the health of the teeth and rubber.
