Dental procedures that are most often seen in dental clinics are:
Filling
Fillings restoration by dentists to restore the tooth and its normal functioning. In addition, how to fill a tooth, a specialist cleans the canal, restores the damaged nerve, and also detects the oral cavity with a solution.

Organ transplantation means transplanting a healthy tissue or organ which is taken from a living donor or deceased donor in place of an organ which is not functioning in the body.

Nephrology is a medical science that deals with the diagnosis of kidney diseases and their treatment (medication, dialysis, transplantation), as well as monitoring patients with a transplanted kidney.
Main diseases in nephrology:
Hydronephrosis is a progressive, persistent enlargement of the renal pelvis and calyces, leading to impaired renal function. The disease is associated with a violation of the output of urine and, as a result, its accumulation. Subsequently, the disease can lead to the death of the organ.
Glomerulonephritis is an immunoinflammatory disease of the kidneys, in which the renal glomeruli are affected with the involvement of the tubules and interstitial tissue. It can occur in an acute, chronic or rapidly progressive form.
Pyelonephritis is an inflammatory disease of the kidneys caused by various microorganisms. Most often, inflammation is provoked by several bacteria, less often by one type of microbe.
Urinary incontinence in women is a condition that has an extremely negative impact on the quality of life of patients, causing severe physical and mental suffering.
Renal failure is a condition of the body in which the kidneys partially or completely lose their ability to perform their basic functions.
Main symptoms of kidney diseases:
Reasons to visit a nephrologist are usually:
Swelling;
Redness or darkening of urine;
Pain in the lumbar region;
High blood pressure (hypertension) that is difficult to treat;
Abnormalities in a biochemical blood test (increased creatinine or urea) or in a urinalysis (any changes – protein in the urine, erythrocytes or leukocytes in the urine, as well as casts, bacteria, crystals or acetone in the urine);
Anemia (decrease in hemoglobin and red blood cells) of unknown origin;
A sharp increase or decrease in the amount of urine per day.

Endocrinology is a branch of medicine that studies the structure and function of the endocrine glands, which are also called endocrine glands. It is they who produce special substances – hormones that have a significant impact on all body systems.
The endocrinologist controls the work of this entire complex system, reveals violations in its functioning, treats and prevents pathologies associated with the production of hormones. The doctor treats not only the diseases themselves, but also their consequences, for example, corrects the hormonal balance, takes measures to restore normal metabolism, and eliminates sexual dysfunction.
Endocrine diseases are pathologies resulting from a violation of the normal functioning of the endocrine glands.
Such as:
Diabetes
Obesity
Thyroid diseases
Metabolic disorders
Excess or deficient production of hormones
Menopause
Osteoporosis
Hypertension
Diseases related to fat metabolism
Infertility
