Causes of dental dams
Causes structural or mechanical
A tooth in overbite (slightly too high) is responsible for an occlusal overload which causes the compression of the long ligament (fibro-elastic zone that connects the tooth to the bones and absorbs the stresses of mastication). Eventually, the stasis pressure generates energy which can result in the appearance of an abscess of the root (granuloma) on a devitalized tooth.
A dental bite imbalance must be considered a major bottleneck effects which affect the entire posture, through the temporomandibular joint is an important energy hub, with multiple consequences (osteoarticular, back pain, compression of organs, depressive syndrome).
A bridge blocks the micro-movement of natural teeth in their sockets. It generates a dominant transverse compression which sometimes double vertical overload if the bridge is in overbite.

First charge: bacteria.
Nine times out of ten, causing bad breath is mouth. It is believed that bacteria accumulate in the furrows dug by the papillae on the posterior part of the language.
