Prostethic Dental Treatment is the field of dentistry that provides the restoration of teeth that have incurred excessive loss of material and replacement of lost tissues due to tooth deficiencies. The main objective is to maintain the health of mouth and peripherial tissues as a whole and to regain the lost function and aesthetics. Prostethic practices include stationary and mobile treatment options depending on the condition of tooth deficiency.

Stationary practices include crown and bridge treatment which provide the restoration of form and aestethics of the teeth which have incurred excessive material loss due to the reasons such as tooth decay or fractures; maintain the health of the teeth with root canal treatment through post systems. At the same time, thanks to the clinical techniques and prostetic materials which are quite advanced nowadays; development of aestethics by fixing the discoloration, structural deformation and perplexed at a certain level, constitution of the smile design by interventing the present tooth surface at minimum level through aetsthetic porcelain laminated applications are also within the scope of the application area of denture. In addition to laminated applications, full porcelain crowns without metal support are used in foretooth groups where the aesthetic requirements are high. Partial dentures in cases with more teeth deficiency and total prostheses applied in case of total edentulism also constitute mobile prosthetic restorations. In addition to the conventional mobile prostheses, non-crocheted systems provided with sensitive holders nowadays increase the comfort and aesthetic requirements of the patient.

Implant surface techniques have come to the level of today along with developing biomedical technology. These developments are closely monitored and applied in our clinic. It provides great advantages in increasing the comfort and aesthetics and rehabilitation of the missing teeth and tissues without intervention to the remaining teeth.

Periodontology is a branch of dentistry that deals with the diseases and treatments of peri-implant tissues surrounding the implants placed in substitution for the alveolar bones and gingival tissues surrounding the tooth and the lost teeth and that provides the maintenance of the health status gained afterwards. Teeth are lost only because of tooth decay, but also mostly because of advanced gingival disease. Symptoms of gingival disease are, especially gingival bleeding, gingival hyperplasia, redness, pruritus, need of tampering, gingival recession, sensitivity in recession areas, inflammation

in gingiva in the upcoming period, feeling of elognation in teeth, displacement, food compression between teeth and dangling in teeth.

Patients often complain of breath odor and bad smell in the mouth. The most important cause of gingival disease is the adhesive and colourless film layer which accumulates on teeth and named as “bacterial dental plaque”. Besides, genetic factors, smoking and tobacco use, stress, conditions in which the hormones change such as pregnancy, some medicines, systemic diseases, malnutrition affect the periodontal health. There are different treatment options depending on the type, course and severity of disease. Non-surgical periodontal treatments such as tartar removal, subgingival curettage; surgical periodontal treatment options such as flap operation, gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, gingival grafts are applied by the physician in accordance with the needs of patient. The maintenance of periodontal disease after treatment is ensured by regular physician controls and proper oral health care.

Endodontics is a department of dentistry that deals with dental pulp (living dental tissue that involves vascular-nervous pack) and performs its treatments.

Endodontic treatments, also known as root canal treatment, involves the treatment of necrotic pulp which causes no complaint and lesions progressing depending on it as well as the infected and inflamed pulp treatments which causes complaints such as hypersensitivity (increase of sensitivity), pain and swelling.

Root canal treatment is usually completed in one or two sessions, depending on the condition of tooth and patient. Root canal treatment has a very important advantages such as killing pain, regaining the chewing function and maintaining the function of the tooth in mouth. In our surgical clinic, all surgical interventions related to oral, tooth and jaw diseases, especially preprosthetic surgery and implant surgery, changes related to radiotherapy and medicine can be controlled; joint diseases and all dentoalveolar infections can be treated locally and if necessary, by using the facilities of operating room under general anesthesia.
