Wieso sind aphten so schmerzhaft?
Grundsätzlich handelt es sich bei Aphthen um eine Überreaktion des Immunsystems. Dabei stirbt Gewebe ab und die darüber liegende Schleimhaut wird nicht mehr richtig durchblutet. Dadurch entstehen kleine Ausbuchtungen in der Mundschleimhaut, so dass Nervenende freiliegen, was zu den beschriebenen Schmerzen führt.
Ist eine Aphte hart?
Als Bednar-Aphthen (benannt nach dem österreichischen Arzt Alois Bednar, 1816–1888) bezeichnet man bei Säuglingen die während der ersten Lebensmonate auftretenden Ulzerationen der Mundschleimhaut, die meist am harten Gaumen auftreten.
What causes a tooth to get stuck in a root canal?
This may be due to insufficient, inadequate cleaning, complex root formations or connections to the outside of the tooth via a fracture or lateral canal. This is probably the most common complication that occurs. The tiny files used to clean and shape the canals sometimes break during use and become stuck inside the canal.
What does root canal mean in dental terms?
A root canal has two meanings: the first refers to the inner tooth situated between the tooth roots and the pulp. The second refers to the tooth treatment aimed at the removal of infected material and elimination of a toothache.
How to tell if you have a root canal infection?
Here are some common signs and symptoms of a root canal infection that mean you should schedule another visit to your dentist: pain or discomfort ranging from mild tenderness to unbearable pain, especially when you apply pressure from eating or pressing on the tooth, or expose the tooth to extreme temperatures
Can a root canal infection spread beyond the tooth?
How far the infection spreads depends on how soon you get it treated after you start noticing symptoms. If you seek treatment hours or a couple of days after the infection starts, the spread can be minimized to the tooth itself or the surrounding teeth and tissues. A root canal infection that’s left untreated can spread far beyond the tooth.
