Uses of ethoxy benzoic acid in dental cement It is an organic compound derived from Benzoic acid. 2-Ethoxybenzoic acid is a dental cement mostly used for root-end filling and prevents entry of pathogens in the periapical region. It has a molecular weight of around 166.17g/mol. It Provides mechanical interlocking in the compounds of ethoxy benzoic acid which gives strength and hardness to the material for gap filling or restoration. It is an organic compound crystalline, colorless solid under natural conditions. It is also used as a ph controller and prevents the growth of pathogens or microbes in the mouth or oral cavity to keep food safe. Benzoic acid is also used in mouthwashes to prevent bad breath as well and also used for luting of the metal prosthesis, sealing, and filling, bridgework, pulp capping, and cementing media for crown and bridgework. Ethoxy benzoic acid provides interlocking and chemically bond with the natural teeth easily for giving a natural look. ...

Gum Disease...
Periodontal Disease Periodontics also called Gum Disease caused by bacterial growth in the oral cavity may result in loss of teeth or destruction of the gingiva or any other health problems. What Causes Gum Disease? It is caused due to deposition of plaque for several years left untreated results in the formation of tartar or calculus, hard substance sticks to the tooth surface. Increased bacterial growth forms a thin layer on the surface of the tooth it forms pockets between the tooth and cervical part of the root. There are more other factors causes periodontal disease- Hormonal changes like- puberty, menopause, menstruation, pregnancy, etc. Bad Habits like- No brushing, No flossing, Bad breath, smoking, etc. Major Diseases like- Cancer, HIV, Diabetes, Heart disease, etc. Symptoms Inflammation or swollening in gums. Redness of gums. Periodontal Pockets between teeth. Increased length of the crown portion of a tooth. The dark color of calculus around the tooth. Pain in gums. Ba...
Let's learn some more about Cells of Pulp As I already discussed pulp in my previous blog Today I will tell you about Cells present in the pulp tissue in detail. CELLS- Odontoblasts These are the second most prominent cells in the pulp and lies in the periphery of the pulp adjacent to the predentine also called the " odontogenic zone of the pulp". The shape of odontoblast in the tooth pulp - Tall and columnar in the crown portion. Cuboidal in the middle of the root. Flat and Spindle shape in the apex of the root. Odontoblast is approx 5-7 microns in diameter. Fibroblasts These are the cells that occur in the greatest amount in the pulp tissue. The function of these cells is to form college fiber and ground substance and maintain them throughout the life of the pulp. But it also has the ability to ingestion and degradation of collagen fiber and ground substance. The Shape of the cells- Stellate shaped cells having extensive processes that communicate with the proc...
