Extrusion
(Redirected from Extruding)
Extrusion is a process used in manufacturing, in which a material is pushed or drawn through a die of the desired cross-section. In the medical field, extrusion can refer to the movement of a tooth or other body part from its normal position.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Extrusion in the medical context can occur in various situations. For example, a tooth may become extruded due to injury or disease, causing it to protrude from the gum line. Similarly, a herniated disc in the spine may extrude, causing pain and other symptoms.
Causes[edit | edit source]
Extrusion can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Trauma: Physical injury can cause a tooth or other body part to become extruded.
- Disease: Certain diseases can cause extrusion. For example, periodontal disease can lead to tooth extrusion.
- Age: As people age, their risk of experiencing extrusion increases due to the natural wear and tear on the body.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for extrusion depends on the cause and the body part affected. For example, an extruded tooth may be treated with orthodontic procedures, while a herniated disc may require surgery.
