In temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, a soft diet, local heat or cold therapy as needed, and simple jaw exercises may help alleviate symptoms.
Stress, sleep disorders, and the consumption of caffeine or tobacco can trigger this condition. Night guards (occlusal splints) and botulinum toxin (botox) are among the available treatment options.
For children under 3 years of age, a rice-grain–sized amount of fluoride toothpaste is recommended; for children aged 3–6 years, a pea-sized amount is advised. Parental supervision is necessary. The aim is to maintain effectiveness while preventing excessive toothpaste ingestion.
In the presence of a class I occlusal relationship and healthy gingival tissues, single-tooth restorations (crowns, inlays, or onlays) can be produced on the same day. Long-term success depends on the selected material and the clinical indication.
They are suitable for correcting tooth color or shape and for minimally invasive approaches. The risk of fracture increases in patients with teeth grinding (bruxism) and malocclusion. Proper case selection is important.
Zirconia—especially in its monolithic form—stands out for its durability, while porcelain-based systems offer advantages in terms of application variety. For anterior aesthetics, glass ceramics, such as E.max, may be preferred.
It may be considered in the presence of chronic pain, sensitivity, lesions, or teeth with previous restorations that show signs of leakage. Depending on the case and radiological evaluation, surgical treatments such as apical resection may also be considered.

Depending on dietary habits, smoking, and oral care, the effect may last from several months to a few years.
In selected cases, it provides advantages in terms of aesthetics and treatment time. Bone integrity and primary stability are essential. The dentist makes the decision after radiological and clinical evaluation.
If the sinus floor in the posterior upper jaw is low or the bone thickness is insufficient, a sinus lift procedure and bone grafting are performed to increase bone volume. These procedures support implant stability and long-term success.
With proper oral hygiene and regular examination, dental implants can be used for many years. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, teeth grinding (bruxism), and poor oral hygiene may shorten the lifespan of dental implants.
Mild pain and swelling within the first 24–72 hours are normal. A dentist should be consulted in the presence of findings such as increasing pain, heavy bleeding, fever, or foul odor.
A dental implant is a titanium artificial root that replaces the function of a missing tooth root. It is planned when there is adequate bone volume and the patient’s systemic health is suitable. After surgical placement, fusion with the bone (osseointegration) is expected; the long-term success of the implant depends on the patient’s oral hygiene and routine follow-up.
