As nowadays it’s an era of specialized

for any dental treatment we must know what are different branches of dentistry
& which dental treatment comes under them.
Let’s Know about different branches and
treatment provided by respective branches of dentistry by this
article : (only clinical branches are
included). So, the first branch is,
1) Prosthodontia : It’s specialists
are known as “Prosthodontist” This branch
deals with placing the “ARTIFICIAL TEETH ” in patient’s
mouth (fixed or removable.) this may be
i) Teeth removed from the jaw
ii) Congenitally (from birth) absent teeth
iii) Full mouth dentures, fixed or removable PARTIAL
dentures
iv) IMPLANTS (Titanium screw which acts as tooth
root)
v) Part of the jaw
removed during accidental injury or cancer treatment
2) Endodontia or
Conservavtive Dentistry : It’s specialists

It mainly deals
with “SAVING THE TOOTH” Like
Root canal Treatment
(RCT) , different restorations like cements
sliver filling and
latest tooth colored
light cure composite resin for “CARIOUS
TEETH” .
RCT is
generally done when
the innermost layer
of tooth known
as “pulp” is infected or
injured by carriers
trauma to tooth
or any
other reason. In this treatment ,
infected pulp is
removed and artificial
material is placed
in the roots
of teeth . And tooth
is saved.
3) Periodontia: It’s specialists are known as “Periodontist” . It mainly
deals with “Gums Diseases” Like Pyorrhea, Plaque and
calculus deposits assured tooth
leads to damage
to gums and
bone supporting the
tooth and causing
PUS discharge in it
, The treatment for this
is “FLAP SURGERY”
In flap surgery ,
gums surrounding the
tooth is opened
and all the
calculus and damaged
tissues are
removed and cleaned
and is packed.
Which results in production
of healthy tissues , bone &
gums which increases
life of teeth.
During this surgery if required
bone powder is also filled
in places where
bone loss is more. That
process is known as “Bone
Grafting”.
4)
Oral
Surgery:It’s specialists
are known as Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon. It deals
with :

Extraction of impacted
teeth (Wisdom tooth)

Fracture of jaw.
iii)
Surgeries for cysts and tumours of jaw bones
5) Orthodontia : It’s specialists are known
as “orthodontist” . It deals
with aligning misaligned
teeth . we see clips
in many kids
of 12 – 15 years
age. That is done by
orthodontists .Best results are
achieved if that
treatment is started around
12-13 years of age .
6) Pedodontia: It’s specialists
are known as “Pedodontist” . It mainly
deals with treatment
of child’s teeth.
We generally believe
that 1st dentition
(milk teeth or
primary definition ) in kids
has no importance but
It’s wrong. It plays
major role in
child’s appearance, speech
chewing , growth
of the jaws
and proper alignment
of forthcoming permanent
Teeth . A pedodontist knows
how to treat a child
properly and how
to deal with
fearful child.
7) Oral Diagnosis and Radiology: It’s specialists are known
as “Stomatologist” . It mainly
deals with
diagnosing and taking
X-rays
of different diseases
of teeth and
jaws. like oral cancers ,
cysts and few
skin diseases.
Hope this article
has increased our
knowledge about different
branches of dentistry .
“ oral cavity is the
reflection of our
body.” We generally think ,
we should rush to
dentist only when
our tooth ache
and harass us but visiting
a dentist every
6 months for check-up
always our forthcoming
dental problems with
proper treatment plan.
Most
of the dental disease does
not cure with
mere medications it
requires proper dental
treatment ; and laziness
in reaching to dentist
invites complications.
To gain painless proper treatment we must visit
various dental specialists
