Non-carious lesions of teeth

Diseases of non-carious origin can be as a result of the developmental defect of the tooth, and its damage after eruption. Disturbances in the development of teeth are manifested in the form of various changes in enamel: normal color, underdevelopment, lack of it, or, on the contrary, excessive quantity in the form of enamel drops. Manifestations can be on most teeth or individually. Anomalies in the shape of the teeth are often observed.
It happens that on the enamel there are pigment spots or strokes, more often on incisors, less often on other teeth. Sometimes there are defects in the form of enamel erosion. The reason is an excess of fluoride salts in drinking water. Hence the name of the disease - fluorosis (in Latin fluorine fluorus). Detected already in childhood with permanent teeth. Pigmented spots and stripes (strokes) create significant cosmetic inconveniences. And in cases of erosion, conditions arise for the destruction of the enamel cover of the tooth. The disease is often endemic. Affects the population of a certain region, where one liter of water contains more than 1-1.5 mg of fluoride salts.
Centralized technologies have been developed that reduce their level in drinking water. The existing changes on the tooth enamel are amenable to cosmetic treatment by the dentist.
