What is the difference between apexogenesis and apexification?

It is known as an immature tooth, that tooth that has an open apex and is discovered by an X-ray. When this happens, conventional endodontic procedures are of no value.

The apex opening is usually very large in an immature tooth, and the canal walls are very thin, so appropriate treatment must be performed.

In the presence of an open apex, apexogenesis (apicoformation) or apexification can be used. Both treatments have differences that will be resolved with the video that we show below.

How is internal teeth whitening?

Sometimes a tooth darkens after a root canal, and this can be due to pulp necrosis, bleeding or remnants of the endodontic procedure. This affects aesthetics, which is why it is necessary to perform a veneer or teeth whitening.

The procedure to perform internal teeth whitening is simple but different from whitening teeth without endodontics (vital teeth). On endodontic teeth, the whitening gel is placed inside the teeth.


The result of internal whitening is satisfactory if it is carried out by a suitable professional. We share a video from the Mental Dental channel that explains what the internal teeth whitening procedure is like.

Orthodontics: What is Interproximal Reduction (IPR)

During orthodontic treatment, a series of procedures are performed and one of them is dental stripping or IPR (interproximal reduction), which consists of reducing the width of the teeth.

The interproximal wear should not be greater than 0.5mm and is done with the objective of having small spaces to align the teeth. This procedure does not have negative consequences on the teeth, as long as it is performed by a trained professional.


Overdoing this procedure can cause tooth sensitivity. We share an interesting video from the Braces Explained channel.

Bruxism - A Major Cause of Gum Recession

The unconscious and nocturnal act of grinding or clenching the teeth is known as bruxism. This pathology is the cause of wear or fractures of the teeth or dental prostheses.

Another consequence of bruxism is the progressive loss of the maxillary bone, generating a recession of the gums. Bruxism must be treated to avoid its serious consequences that go beyond just a dental problem.

Fortunately, there are treatments for bruxism and for recession of the gums. We recommend visiting your trusted dentist for an evaluation and proper treatment in case you suffer from this disease.
