The eruption may be divided into three types of moves: Pre-eruptive tooth movement: This movement, the tooth germ (structure that is becoming tooth) moves to the position where you will start to become a tooth.
Eruptive tooth movement: At this stage the tooth along its growth is moving into position functional occlusion and bite. -post-eruptive tooth movement: By this stage the tooth is slowly changing as they grow instead the bones of the jaws, and in this way not to lose their functionality when it comes to the bite, this is mainly based on bone remodeling. 1. Premature eruption : Whether natal teeth (they appear at birth) or neonatal (appear shortly after birth), usually involves one or two teeth, hardly three, usually the incisors, although the origin of this alteration is all unknown cases have something in common, the parts involved are not supernumerary teeth are deciduous (baby), are part of the provision of teeth and therefore must be kept UNLESS they cause discomfort, the reasons for which be preserved is that these serve as guide for the permanent teeth erupt, so that permanent teeth whose primary tooth was extracted on can grow outside the womb.
You can also occur if the permanent teeth prematurely, but this occurs mostly when a tooth is lost. 2. Delayed eruption : It is more rare, occurs when the permanent teeth appear long after when they should, a leading cause gingival fibromatosis is that the gum has more collagen fibers than normal causing the tooth to erupt can not break it, another reason condensation can be bone and bone sclerosis, which are disorders of the jaw bone or maxilla that makes it more dense. 3. Impacted Teeth: Refers to teeth that can not leave a physical barrier, bone, another tooth, a prosthetic device or a lack of space as seen in the image.
alteration in the branch of the jaw that does not allow the eruption of the third molar
4. Impacted Teeth : This speaks of teeth in its development make impact with another tooth next, the disorder usually occurs in the third, and if the jaw is too small, second molars.
5. Rash Sequestration : A small area of dead bone and calcified listed on the site where a molar sprout.

Treatment of periodontal disease
In the early stages of the disease treatment is to remove the tartar and plaque from the tooth. The technique used to remove the layer of plaque deposited in the visible parts (or supragingival) of the tooth called the oral hygiene or tartar removal.
To make the tartar removal using sonic or ultrasonic instruments driven by compressed air or electrically. This makes it possible to remove not only plaque but also the dental calculus and exogenous stains from teeth.
As periodontal disease progresses treatments to be performed will be more complex and aggressive. The aim is always to the removal of plaque and tartar or calculus, responsible for inflammation of the periodontium.
In this line of treatment would be the next therapeutic option curettage and root planing. For these techniques using an instrument called a “curette” which is the tool princeps of the periodontist. The uterus has a cutting edge which facilitates polishing of the root surface and the removal of bacterial colonies and the mechanical and chemical irritants that cause inflammation. This treatment allows reaccession gum to the tooth and the disappearance or reduction of periodontal pockets (pouch formed between gum disease and tooth and occupied by inflammatory products and dental calculus). The complete disappearance of the pocket and good adhesion of the gum to the tooth are more reliable markers of the success of our treatment, the result perseguido.
Si, after the application of these treatments, failure to achieve a stabilization of periodontal disease continue with the next link therapeutic in this case, that would be surgical.

Periodontal disease
About 30% of people have genetic susceptibility to suffer from this condition
Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases and a major cause of tooth loss worldwide, and the term of periodontal disease, scientifically refers to both gingivitis as periodontitis (known as pyorrhea).
Gingivitis is an inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the teeth and periodontitis, a more severe inflammation that includes the destruction of the tissues (bone and gum) that is connected to the tooth in position within the mouth. Dental Hygiene The Periodontal disease is considered a very complex infection whose main cause is the presence of bacteria, whether they own mouth or those who come for food debris and are flowing to join the oral tissues (tongue, gums, tooth) however, to develop, other factors come into play:
1. Environmental: smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, pregnancy, hormonal changes, stress and even have braces as braces or dentures and fixed bridges or removable.
2. Genetics: heredity and susceptibility of individuals.
Over 35 These diseases, gingivitis or periodontitis can occur at any age, but statistics show that there is higher incidence in people over 35 years, with a slowly progressive and painless for several years only when the disease is already advanced stage, the person can feel and see changes in your mouth, which can trigger the loss of some or all teeth. However, and although it is rare to find in young people, when they occur they do so aggressively, and with a period of rapid destruction, which can lead to early tooth loss. What are the symptoms? Sometimes periodontal disease can progress without any noticeable symptoms.
During a regular dental checkup, the dentist looks for signs of periodontal disease, so the disease remains undetected by the patient can be treated before it advances. The following are the most common symptoms of gum disease, however , each individual may experience symptoms differently. These include: • Redness, swelling and tenderness of the gums. • Bleeding while brushing teeth or flossing. • The retraction of the tissues (neck uncovered). • Loosening or separation of the teeth. • Bad breath . • Pus between teeth and gums. • A change in bite and teeth alignment. Process disease Gingivitis The mildest form of periodontal disease. Causes the gums to become red, swollen and bleed easily. There is usually little or no discomfort at this time. Gingivitis is reversible if treated professionally and with good oral care at home. Periodontitis Mild If gingivitis is not treated, can progress to periodontitis. In the mild stage, periodontal disease begins to destroy the bone and tissue that support teeth. Periodontitis Moderate to advanced: it develops if the early stages of the disease are neglected. It is the most advanced form of the disease where it occurs an extensive loss of bone and tissue. Periodontitis Aggressive occurs in adolescents and young people and is characterized by the rapid loss of bone around the teeth. Ironically, young people with this disease are very little dental plaque or calculus. Aggressive periodontitis is considered generally a disease of young adults, but may begin around puberty. The bags can form around the affected teeth, filling with infection. If not treated early, the infection can lead to loss of bone, causing teeth to become loose. Prevention and Diagnosis One of the easiest ways is to prevent proper tooth brushing three times a day, and the Daily use of dental floss or thread.
Another way to prevent or treat gum-related diseases is to consult your dentist regularly so that it evaluates the need for revision with the periodontist (dentist specializing in the prevention and treatment of oral problems related to the tissues supporting the teeth), or go directly to the specialist. This professional is prepared to offer treatment alternatives. The periodontist makes assessment taking into account such factors as patient age, overall health and medical history, how advanced the disease, your tolerance for specific medications, procedures or therapies and their expectations for the course of the disease. That will make the most appropriate treatment option, which could include any or a combination of the following therapies: Deep cleaning: helps remove dental plaque and infected tissue in the early stages of the disease, while smoothing the damaged surfaces the roots of teeth. Medications as adjunct to professional therapy. Surgery: This therapy is performed when the disease is advanced, and looks to the infected areas under the gums remain disinfected to the tissues remodeled or replaced by other better quality.
Dental Implants: a current solution to tooth loss. Specialists Dr. Natalia Roldan, a member of the Colombian Society of Periodontology, advises people with this disease to seek a specialist qualified to treat your condition . The best, as with issues related to health, always delicate, is to verify the credentials of the specialist to whom petitioned. This verification can be done with the assistance of the respective professional associations.
