3. TOOTH DECAY (Dental carries)
ETIOLOGY
• Accumulation of food particles.
• Accumulation of bacteria in gelatinous mass. Called
as “plague”.
• Anacrobic fermentation of sugar in saliva.
• Release of lactic acid.
• Breakdown of minerals present in enamel.
• Affect internal compound – dentin, pulp tissue.
PRECAUTIONS
• Low sugar containing diet.
• Low fluoride.
• Proper brushing
Tooth decay, also known as dental caries or cavities, is a breakdown of teeth due to acids made by
bacteria. The cavities may be a number of different colors from yellow to black. The most common
bacteria associated with dental cavities are the mutans streptococci, most prominently Streptococcus
mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, and lactobacilli.

4. PERIODENTAL DISEASE
Periodental disease is a serious gum infection that damage the soft tissue and
destroys the bone that support the teeth. Periodental disease can cause teeth
to loosen or lead to tooth loss. It is a common disorder but largely preventable.
It is caused by porphyromonas straptococus , Actinomyces
TYPES
The two most common periodental disease diseases are:
• Gingivitis
• Periodontitis
Department of pharmacy, ADTU
5. • Gingivitis
Most children have signs of some inflammation
of the gingival tissue at the necks of the teeth;
among adults, the initial stage of gum disease
is prevalent. This condition is termed gingivitis
and is characterised by redness of the gum
margins, swelling and bleeding on brushing.
• Periodontitis
When periodontal disease affects the bone
and supporting tissue, it is termed periodontitis
and is characterised by the formation of
pockets or spaces between the tooth and
gums. This may progress and cause chronic
periodontal destruction leading to loosening or
loss of teeth.
Department of pharmacy, ADTU
6. SYMPTOMS
Signs and symptoms of periodontitis can include:
• Swollen or puffy gums
• Bright red, dusky red or purplish gums
• Gums that feel tender when touched
• Gums that bleed easily
• Gums that pull away from your teeth (recede), making your teeth look longer
than normal

12. MUMPS
• Mumps is a contagious disease caused by a virus that passes from one
person to another through saliva, nasal secretions, and close personal
contact.
• The condition primarily affects the salivary glands, also called the parotid
glands. These glands are responsible for producing saliva. There are three
sets of salivary glands on each side of your face, located behind and below
your ears.
• It is a communicable disease, mode of transmission is
contaminated saliva and respiratory droplet.
• The mumps virus is an enveloped single-stranded,
linear negative-sense RNA virus of the Rubulavirus
genus and Paramyxovirus family.

vaccine that also protects against
measles and rubella

14. MOUTH ULCER
Mouth ulcers — also known as canker sores — are normally small, painful
lesions that develop in mouth or at the base of your gums.
There are three types of canker sores: minor, major, and
herpetiform.
• Minor
Minor canker sores are small oval or round ulcers that
heal within one to two weeks with no scarring.
• Major
Major canker sores are larger and deeper than minor
ones. They have irregular edges and can take up to six weeks
to heal. Major mouth ulcers can result in long-term scarring.
• Herpetiform
Herpetiform canker sores are pinpoint size, occur in
clusters of 10 to 100, and often affect adults. This type of mouth
ulcer has irregular edges and will often heal without scarring
within one to two weeks.
Department of pharmacy, ADTU
15. CAUSES
• Minor mouth injury from dental work, hard brushing, sports injury, or
accidental bite
• Lack of essential vitamins, especially B-12, zinc, folate, and iron
• Allergic response to mouth bacteria
• Dental braces
• Hormonal changes during menstruation
• Emotional stress or lack of sleep
• Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections
Department of pharmacy, ADTU
16. TREATMENT
• Using a rinse of saltwater and baking soda
• Placing milk of magnesia on the mouth ulcer
• Covering mouth ulcers with baking soda paste
• Using over-the-counter benzocaine (topical anesthetic) products like orajel or
anbesol
• Applying ice to canker sores
• Using a mouth rinse that contains a steroid to reduce pain and swelling
• Placing damp tea bags on your mouth ulcer
• Taking nutritional supplements like folic acid, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, and zinc
• Trying natural remedies such as chamomile tea, echinacea, myrrh, and licorice
root

17. TOOTH EROSION
• It is defined as the irreversible loss of tooth
structure due to chemical dissolution by acids not
of bacterial origin.
• The most common cause of erosion is by acidic
foods and drinks. In general, foods and drinks with
a pH below 5.0–5.7 have been known to trigger
dental erosion effects.
CAUSES
• Accumulation of food particles.
• Accumulation of bacteria in gelatinous mass.
Called as “plague”.
• Anacrobic fermentation of sugar in saliva.
• Release of lactic acid.
• Sessation occurs due to erosion of teeth by
lactic acid.

18. STAIN TEETH
Teeth can become discolored by stains on the
surface or by changes inside the tooth. There are
three main types of tooth discoloration:
• Extrinsic
This occurs when the outer layer of the tooth (the
enamel) is stained. Coffee, tobacco, wine, cola or
other drinks or foods can stain teeth. Smoking also
causes extrinsic stains.
• Intrinsic
This is when the inner structure of the tooth (the
dentin) darkens or gets a yellow tint.
• Age-related
This is a combination of extrinsic and intrinsic
factors. Dentin naturally yellows over time. The
enamel that covers the teeth gets thinner with
age, which allows the dentin to show through.
Foods and smoking also can stain teeth as people
get older.

19. CAVITIES
• A cavity, also called tooth decay, is a hole that
forms in your tooth. Cavities start small and
gradually become bigger when they’re left
untreated.
SYMPTOMS OF TOOTH CAVITIES
• Tooth sensitivity
• Tooth pain
• A visible hole in your teeth
• Black or white staining on your teeth
Department of pharmacy, ADTU
20. CAUSES OF TOOTH CAVITIES
• Tooth cavities are caused by plaque, a sticky
substance that binds to teeth. Plaque is a
combination of:
• bacteria
• saliva
• acid
• food particles
TREATMENT
• Tooth fillings
• Crowns
• Root canal
• Early stage treatment
• Dealing with pain
COMPLICATIONS FROM TOOTH CAVITIES
A tooth cavity can cause a variety of complications if it’s
left untreated. These include:
• Ongoing tooth pain
• The development of pus around the infected tooth
• An increased risk for breaking or chipping a tooth
• Difficulty chewing food
Department of pharmacy, ADTU
21. HYPERDONTIA- Extra teeth
Hyperdontia is the condition of having
supernumerary teeth, or teeth that appear in
addition to the regular number of teeth. They can
appear in any area of the dental arch and can
affect any dental organ.
TYPES
• Supernumerary teeth can be classified by shape
and by position. The shapes include the
following:
• Supplemental (where the tooth has a normal
shape for the teeth in that series);
• Tuberculate (also called barrel shaped);
• Conical (also called peg shaped);
• Compound odontoma (multiple small tooth-like
forms);
• Complex odontoma (a disorganized mass of
dental tissue)
Department of pharmacy, ADTU
22. CAUSES
• Genetic factor
• Environmental factor
• Overactivity of the dental lamina during tooth development
TRETAMENT
It is important to detect, evaluate, and treat supernumerary teeth as soon as possible
since the additional teeth will present both cosmetic and functional problems for the
affected individual. As a majority of supernumerary teeth cause clinical problems,
treatment generally consists of removal of the teeth when possible.
Department of pharmacy, ADTU
23. MALOCCLUSION
A malocclusion is a misalignment or incorrect
relation between the teeth of the two dental
arches when they approach each other as
the jaws close.
CAUSES
• Malocclusion is often present at birth and
can manifest as space between the teeth,
irregular jaw or mouth size, or even a cleft
palate.
• It can also be acquired from habits such as
thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, premature
loss of teeth from an accident or dental
disease, or medical conditions such as
enlarged tonsils and adenoids that lead to
mouth breathing.
