Odonto

Odonto is a word that comes from the Latin word odontum, which means tooth, or dentistry. The term "odonto" is an abbreviation of the Latin term "odontologie" ("dentistria"), which means the science of dentistry.

Dentistry (aka odontology) arose and is developing based on the achievements of chemistry, physics, biology and medicine. Even in ancient times, people treated their teeth with stones such as quartz or sand. And in the 19th century, a special device, similar to modern drills, was invented for removing teeth. In 1874, Ivor de Outman installed the first device to generate electricity to operate dental instruments.

Today dentistry is important to society. Dental diseases and pathologies, such as caries, periodontal disease and trauma, can significantly affect a person’s overall health, well-being and performance. Timely and proper dental treatment helps to increase a person’s life expectancy, improve their quality of life, and reduce the costs of treating other diseases.

Odonto is a special department of odontology in dentistry. He is engaged in the development of new techniques and technologies in the field of prosthetics and other dental procedures. Typically, dental clinics that do not have access to an odontology department request additional services from an odonto to obtain the appropriate certifications. Since these institutions do not directly manufacture prosthetics, their clients receive less assurance of the quality of their services.

Odontology and Dentistry

Odontology is a field of science that studies the structure, function and physiology of teeth and the dental system as a whole. It is a fundamental science abroad, as well as an important and integral part of modern dentistry. **Teeth, dental system and maxillofacial area** are a complex structure. Odontologists pay attention to the study of these structures and their connections with surrounding tissues, systems and organs. Teeth and the dental system in people of different ages undergo a large number of changes. Any of the processes occurring
