What is Lamina Dura?
Lamina dura is part of all human and animal teeth. It includes only part of the tooth and covers the roots under the rubber surface. This thin layer of bone connects the roots of every tooth with a periodontal ligament inside each dental socket.
The only way to see this part of the tooth is the X -ray. In the picture, it appears as a very pale white outline around the root of each tooth. A thin, dark gap outside the lamina dura is a periodontal ligament and the gray matter inside the tooth is beyond the bone. Lamina Dura separates them and prevents them both from infection.
Although it is important, this thin layer is relatively perfunctory part of the tooth. When children lose their teeth or pulled them out, this part of the tooth dissolves back into the gums. However, if it begins to dissolve from the roots of an existing tooth, it could indicate periodontitis.
patients who have periodontitis will experience inflammation due to infection and dissolution of lamina dura. When Lamina Dura's boards dissolve from existing teeth, they reveal under it softSpongilous bones. A precisely bone produces red blood cells for the teeth, similar to the bone marrow in the rest of the skeleton.
The beings of periodontitis with slightly swollen gums indicate mild gingivitis and without losing Lamin Dura. As the disease progresses, the lamina dura disappears and the lesion is formed under the surfaces of the rubber against the roots of the infected tooth. Periodontitis can spread very quickly through the mouth and proceed if it is not treated. Untreated cases can result in soft, seriously disintegrated teeth or even tooth loss.
Lamina Dura will not return if it dissolves. However, early treatment and exceptional dental hygiene can maintain these basic plates intact. People who have gingivitis should be consulted by a andery doctor about treatment as soon as possible.
