      If Teeth Loss And Chewing Loss Lead To Memory Loss - LydieLivolsi

      I was about 5 or 6 years young, when I saw my dad’s oldest sister, Mama Yvonne, with my dad’s youngest brother Papa Modeste and his wife Mama Lydia, carrying my grandmother from my father’s side who was very old and was suffering for what today, appears to be Alzheimer. I heard my aunt Mama Yvonne said, Please help me lift her, as you know she lost her memory…. And then she added, her mouth smells so bad. That was the only time and the last time I saw my grandmother. She passed away supposedly at 108 years old! Those two statements: she lost her memory and her mouth smells so bad, stayed in my mind like a screenshot for many years.

      Almost twenty years later, I entered a dental manufacturing private school in France, with the objective of going back home in Cameroon (Africa) to make teeth for my grandmother from my mother’s side, who had only two upper canines left in her mouth so that she could eat crunchy peanuts. Unfortunately, she passed away during my second year without having her missing teeth fixed.

      I was raised in Africa in a very traditional beloved Bamileke’s family, who cared about our culture and used the oral transmission to teach basic life principles. I spent my summer vacations in the countryside with my grandmother, my aunts, and uncles who thought me about our traditions, our culture, where we come from, what life is, etc. As far as I can remember, I enjoyed being around my grandmother. Particularly, Aunt Momeu Chuang, who passed away this year, always said to me, always remember that you are beautiful and smart. Walk straight, and face forward without fear, because you are a lioness. We are lions. This guidance has helped me build a strong and indestructible self-confidence and the love of myself and the love for human beings. This self-esteem enabled me to express my thoughts even though I was a child. My innocence and pure thinking made me say things so brutally true that I got the nickname of crève abcès. In other words, the one who makes a hole in the abscess and clears the air. Of course, I took the pus on my face, but in the end, it relieved everyone.

      When I was 7, my dad left the house for the hospital, because he was sick. On January 1st, 1975, he passed away, after four years of staying in different hospitals; leaving me without any chance to see him again. That was the fourth toughest years of my life because our mother stayed at his side, so, I had my siblings to watch me and take care of me for everyday matters. I was curious, always asking questions and requested answers. So, my late brother Tonton Modeste and my Sister Maman Helene gave me the nickname of capteuse Americaine, meaning American Sensor. They even created a song. I wanted to listen to everything they were talking about. Even today in Los Angeles, I often sing that song, to remind me who I am. It’s obvious that it’s not by chance that I feel like a fish in its water, I ‘m home. So, I always have a critical thinking. This is what this book, If Teeth Loss And Chewing Loss Lead To Memory Loss, What About Root Canal is about.

      ONE

      ROOT CANAL, DENTAL IMPLANT, DENTAL WIG, WHICH ONE IS MORE PREDICTABLE?

      ROOT CANAL

      A root canal involves emptying, cleaning, sterilizing and sealing the canal or canals of the tooth. The tooth consists of two parts, the dentine is the inner part, and the enamel (the hard part) is the outer part. In the center of the tooth are the blood vessels and the nerve. They are located in a very small channel which is the living part of the tooth. When the nerve is dead or too sick, the pain becomes unbearable because the tooth develops an abscess.

      Infected Tooth

      REASONS FOR ROOT CANAL:

      • Presence of bacteria and pus in the canal that causes an abscess;

      The nerve of the tooth that is dead;

      • Tooth nerve that is sick enough to cause extreme pain and does not show signs of healing (pulpitis);

      • The use of the canal as an anchor for laying a pivot and a crown.

      ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

      A root canal treatment involves removing the dental pulp, the nerve of the tooth, which looks like a small wire located in the center of the tooth. Once impaired pulp, sick or dead, space is cleaned, reamed and closed. This process hermetically ends the root canal. Nowadays, canal treatments save teeth that would otherwise be lost.

      A canal treatment is done in several stages often spread over several visits, according to the case:

      • First, you have to make an opening that gives access to the pulp chamber, to the nerve of the tooth.

      • Once the pulp is removed, the pulp chamber and canals are cleaned, expanded and prepared for closure.

      • If it is necessary to return, a provisional filling is placed in the opening of the tooth to protect the tooth between the visits.

      • The temporary filling is removed, and the canal or channels, are closed definitively as well as the pulp chamber. A rubber-like material (gutta-percha) in the form of an elongated cone is inserted into each of the channels and sealed in place with cement. Sometimes, a post is placed in the canal to strengthen the tooth.

      • Finally, the tooth will most often, be crowned to give it a natural look. If the tooth is badly damaged, it may be necessary to add a root post to restore it before placing the crown.

      How long can the restored tooth last?

      As tooth decay can attack devitalized teeth, good oral hygiene and regular checks are necessary to avoid complications.

      Since there is no longer any pulp to keep the tooth alive, teeth that have undergone root canal treatment are more fragile and more susceptible to fractures. This is an important point to consider when deciding whether to lay a crown or simply plug the tooth after a revitalization.

      To determine the success or failure of root canal treatment, the safest method is to compare recent x-rays with those taken before treatment. This comparison will show if the bone continues to disappear or if it heals.

      POST AND CORE INDIRECTLY FABRICATED TECHNIQUES

      While your tooth's root canal therapy appears to have been concluded, your dental professional could suggest the positioning of a dental crown. In some cases, they might as well advise you that a dental post and core (or simply just a core without a post) needs to be fixed before the crown can be done.

      CORES:

      Core placing means a procedure where a dentist changed the bulk of a tooth's missing framework in preparation for creating a different dental crown. Accomplishing this provides the appropriate structure and basis for the new restoration.

      MATERIALS USED FOR CORE

      A core can be produced from any kind of durable dental therapeutic. Generally, it's either:

      1) Dental amalgam (the metallic material adapted to produce silver fillings) or

      2) Dental composite (the dental joining used to produce white fillings).

      The majority of a crown's firmness is determined by the quality of the tooth’s framework that extends up into its interior. If small tooth structure fills in this space, the crown will be easily dislodged, particularly by forces directed from the side.

      FUNCTIONS OF CORES

      Constructing the tooth first with a core, the dentist can decide to increase the stability of the crown, thereby, increasing its long-lasting opportunities for survival.

      POST AND CORE

      The major difference between a dental core and a post and core is with the latter; a dental post is placed which enables to anchor the core to the tooth. While a dental core could be designed to provide any kind of tooth, a post and core can simply be produced for a tooth that has had root canal treatment.

      THE POST AND CORE PROCEDURE

      At the time of placing a post and core, the dentist will first use their drill to construct a post space or room. This space will mostly lay among the root canals which was filled in the course of the sealing portion of the tooth's endodontic therapy. A post, having particular dimensions equal to the post space that's been drilled, is after that, cemented or bonded into place.

      As soon as the post has been properly secured, dental restorative is packed over and around the post's uncovered end so as to build the core. Eventually, the core is anchored in place both by the post and neighboring tooth structure.

      COMPLETING THE TOOTH'S RECONSTRUCTION

      When the core, or post and core, has been completed, the dentist will take the impressions, send them to the dental lab that will manufacture the dental crown under the dentist’s recommendations. Then, the dentist will position the crown on the core.

      CATEGORIES OF DENTAL POSTS

      Ordinarily, posts are usually made from metal (stainless steel, titanium, cast metal). In today's industry, ceramic (zirconia) and carbon-fiber posts can also be found.

      Fiber post, composite core, and Empress pressed-leucite porcelain crown used to match existing veneers.

      FLEXIBLE OR RIGID

      The flexible characters of carbon- fiber give the benefit that as tooth’s root bend under load, this type of post will also do the same, thus, assisting in preventing root fracture by means of minimizing the amount of stress directed to it.

      Nevertheless, the connecting approach used to position them is technique sensitive, therefore, positioning a traditional rigid post employing traditional cement, may provide the more predictable outcome. (Raedel 2015)

      WHITE OR METAL

      The white, translucent nature of ceramic (zirconia) several kinds of fiber posts provide an aesthetic benefit over metal ones.

      CAST-METAL PREFABRICATED POST AND CORES

      A cast post and core is a lone object (post and core paired) that is customized for your tooth in a dental laboratory. Positioning one is a two-visit procedure and frequently involves a higher price, however, lasts longer. Placing a prefabricated post is the less expensive, but doesn’t last longer.

      HOW LONG DO POST AND CORES LAST?

      The survival pace for cast metal, pre-fabricated post and cores lie somewhere on the demand of 92% at 8 .5 years and 84% at 10 years. For prefabricated post, the crown will last about 18 months. Then, retreatment
