Normally, intraocular fluid is constantly produced and this is regularly thrown out of the eye with the help of channels in the eye. Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of permanent vision loss affecting millions of people worldwide. It can be seen in approximately 1 in every 40 people over the age of forty, and in 1 out of 20 people with the disease, it can cause permanent vision loss, i.e. blindness in both eyes.

What Is Cataract?

Cataract is the opacity of the lens by losing its transparency. The eye has an optical structure and the images coming from the external environment are first refracted through the cornea, which is the transparent layer on the outermost part of the eye, and then through the lens layer inside the eye, and thus it is clearly transmitted to the visual center. It causes the images to be blurred and not transmitted to the center of vision clearly by adding the lens formed in the lens. Sometimes cataracts become so intense that people cannot see anything except to feel the light. People who develop cataracts see it as if they are looking through a misty or frosted glass. Although there are many types of cataracts, the most common cataracts are cataracts that develop with age.   What are the Cataract types? Nuclear cataracts: A nuclear cataract may at first cause a temporary improvement in your vision. But with time, the lens gradually turns more densely yellow and further cloud...

Periodontology (Gum Disease)

In cases where oral care is inadequate, a bacterial plaque that is a rich, soft, sticky layer of microorganisms on the tooth surface accumulates. This layer causes gingivitis with tooth decay. Healthy gums are pale pink in color, with orange peel appearance and hardness. When the gums lose their health they are swollen, red, bleeding and moving. If the treatment is delayed, the tooth stones accumulate causing the bone surrounding the tooth to erase. The gums start to pull out. This condition is both sensitive to heat changes and causes aesthetic problems as well as oral odor and even dental inflammation in very advanced conditions. If they go further, tooth loss starts. Gum disease also occurs in the case of inadequate oral care, hormonal changes, genetic factors, drug use, some systemic diseases; If there is a problem already existing, it progresses rapidly.

Tooth decay If tooth decay is detected in oral examinations or in initial stages in radiological examinations, it can only be treated with a filler. The tooth parts can be cleaned and the missing parts can be filled with filling. Fillings can be made with single seanstant filling materials as well as by taking measurements and bonding them to the teeth in the laboratory environment. However, if the treatment is delayed, caries continuing to progress through the tooth affect the dental nerve. It may cause severe sensitivities and pain. In such a case, root canal treatment is necessary. First, the affected nerve tissue is removed from the canal and the canal is cle...

Lamine Dental (Porcelain Lamine)

Porcelain laminates, which hold an important place in the aesthetics of the front teeth, are preferred because they are more protective than the other prosthetic options. In conventional coatings, the laminates are applied without any abrasion or with a grinding of 0.3 – 0.5 mm, whilst the tooth is eroded all around. As a result, tooth integrity is greatly preserved. The tongue is extremely sensitive to even the slightest change in the mouth. In this method, there is no change in the palate side, so acceptability is higher in the mouth. In which situations is the Lamine tooth preferred? Lamine teeth; the irregularities in the front teeth region, the surface abrasions of various reasons, the color problem of the teeth, the integrity of color and shape that can not be achieved due to the large filling, and the lack of aesthetic appearance of the tooth/gum view at the laughing line. Lamine Teeth (Porcelain Lamine) Treatment When planning is done, it is decided how to prepare...

Implant dental treatment is an important treatment alternative that is often used to support the retention of dentures in the presence of both existing teeth and in the presence of removable dentures. Tooth loss due to reasons such as rottenness, trauma, gum problems also brings with it a lot of functional, aesthetic and talking problems. These losses can be treated with fixed or mobile prostheses. In a fixed prosthetic treatment, existing healthy teeth may need to be intervened, while moving prostheses may not always offer the comfort that the patient expects in terms of retention and stability. Before Implant Tooth Treatment In a patient in need of implant dentistry, the general health status of the patient before deciding to apply should be assessed in detail to determine whether the implant site is suitable for both hard and soft tissue. Again, it is necessary to decide what type of prosthesis should be done before placement of the implants, and the number, size, and po...
