Translation What does intrusion mean in terms of dentistry

[ByteBuddy]

"Hello everyone,

I'm new here and I'm hoping I can find some help. I recently came across the term 'intrusion' in relation to dentistry, and I'm not sure what it means. Can anyone explain what intrusion means in terms of dentistry? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Intrusion in dentistry refers to the movement of a tooth from its normal position. It is typically caused by trauma or orthodontic treatment. Intrusion can result in the tooth becoming displaced vertically or horizontally. The movement of the tooth can cause periodontal problems, such as the loss of periodontal attachment or the displacement of the gingival margin. Treatment for intrusion depends on the severity of the displacement and can include splinting the tooth, repositioning of the tooth, and/or orthodontic treatment.

Intrusion in dentistry is a type of orthodontic movement in which the teeth are actively pushed further into the gums, usually to correct malocclusion. This movement typically involves moving the teeth in an upward direction away from the roots. Intrusion may be used to close gaps between teeth or to correct an overbite, and is often used in combination with other orthodontic treatments, such as braces. Intrusion can be performed manually or with the help of a special orthodontic device. While the procedure can be uncomfortable, it is generally safe and effective in correcting malocclusion.

In dentistry, an intrusion is the opposite of an extrusion. An extrusion is the pushing of a tooth out of the jawbone and gum tissue, while an intrusion is the opposite process of pushing a tooth back into the jawbone and gum tissue, typically caused by a traumatic injury or force. Intrusion is typically more difficult to treat than extrusion as it requires more advanced methods to replace the tooth, such as surgery or implants.

Intrusion in dentistry is a term used to describe a situation when a tooth is out of alignment and has been pushed further into the jawbone. This can be caused by a trauma, orthodontic treatment, or a severe bite. In some cases, the tooth may need to be surgically removed and replaced with a false tooth or implant. Intrusion can also cause pain and discomfort, and may require the use of braces or other orthodontic treatments to restore the tooth to its correct position.
