grind.jpgYour teeth are usually associated more with physical appearance and overall general physical health to the point that many fail to realize that bruxism (the voluntary or involuntary grinding of teeth) is a sign of emotional or psychological distress. The grinding syndrome is common and natural in children who are between ages 3 to 10 but usually stops spontaneously by age 13. Any manifestation of such in adults is a sure sign of stress and that the body may be voluntarily clenching its muscles that results in the disorder. It can be so disturbing that it can disturb the normal sleep patterns of companions who sleep together much so that it brings about conflict as snoring usually does. Tooth grinding can result in a dull morning headache, chronic facial pain, damaged teeth, fractured dental fillings and even injured gums if they happen to come in contact with the teeth as they grind together. It has also been found that the consumption of caffeine and alcohol has been known to bring about the disorder where moderation usually is the key to avoidance.

nanotech.jpgNew research has Nano-biomaterials being considered for coatings for use in dental implants to make them stronger as they are biointegrated into the jaw. Clinical mobility is the failure of the osseointegration process by which bone grows into the gap between the bone and the implant itself. Under the microscope, researchers have found that traditional titanium implants are not totally biointegrated and that a very small gap is left which can get filled with bacteria or food particles causing infections. The use of Nano-biomaterials can make the osseointegration process better and give the implant more grip into the jaw making it as strong as natural teeth.
