Even with prompt treatment of teeth and regular visits to the dentist sooner or later, before the man could be a question of prosthetics. Modern dentistry offers patients a lot of different ways you can use to replace a tooth that has been removed, or for some reason he fell. Different types of prosthetics are possible due to application of new technologies.

Types of dental prosthetics

Prosthesis used if the teeth are too badly damaged, and can not perform the desired function if the decreased number of teeth, or if the teeth are cosmetic flaws, that does not meet the patient.

Dentists today use those methods of prosthetics that allow the maximum to restore the dentition of the patient and give him comfort. There are two types of prosthetics - removable   and removable . If the dentures can be periodically removed from the oral cavity, the non-removable set so that the patient can wear them continuously.

Dentures That made the modern specialists compare favorably with those uncomfortable dentures that did a few decades ago. Now they are made of flexible and durable materials that give you the opportunity to very accurate prosthesis. As a rule, it is recommended to install dentures with complete loss of teeth or in the absence of posterior teeth.

Removable dentures apply in cases where the need of one or more prosthetic teeth. This form of prosthetics has many variations. Typically, design of the artificial tooth attached to the adjacent teeth. To do this, the doctor uses special items. In addition, in today's widely used non-removable prosthesis implantation. Treatment and prosthetics using this method is carried out in all clinics dentistry. Therefore, choose the appropriate method will help not only the preliminary examination and the doctor's advice, but reviews of those who have already tried some prosthetics methods. The most widely used materials in prosthetics is cermet . Ceramics Also apply partial denture . The prices of these materials are significantly different, however, if necessary, the doctor can choose the option that will cost the patient is relatively inexpensive. In general, the cost of prosthetics depends on many factors: the material used, the need for pre-treatment, the use of prosthetics and others without turning. The doctor may also choose the best method of prosthetics, given the age (for seniors, children, young people). Dentist-orthopedist, which deals with the prosthesis, defines all existing indications and contraindications in each individual case.

Types and features a non-removable denture

Modern dentures allows natural use established structures, as well as to ensure their aesthetic appearance. After the man adapts to such a prosthesis, he almost forgets about the troubled him earlier problems. In addition, there is no need to perform any special recommendations dentist and provide care for such prostheses can be at home, simply using conventional methods of oral hygiene.

In modern dentistry, the following types of non-removable dental prosthesis such as: microprosthetics . Installation crowns . bridges . implant dentures . The doctor may use a non-standard materials, if the practice of child dental prosthetics, as such structures should not interfere with the growth and development of the teeth, as well as meet several other requirements.

To determine which type of prosthesis prefer, take into account peculiarities of the state of the patient's dentition. If there is a partial destruction of the tooth, the patient set the crown on a tooth. Metal-ceramic crown - the most popular variant of the prosthesis. This is a special case for a tooth, has thin walls. If necessary, it can also be installed partial crowns.

Microprosthetics avoids grinding of the tooth so strong as before installing crown. The tooth is coated with a thin ceramic plate, which protects them from the effects of harmful factors, and provides an aesthetic appearance. This type of denture tooth protects from destruction, it is completely safe for surrounding tissues. Using this type of prosthesis frequently carried prosthetic anterior teeth.

Dental tabs are used sometimes instead of the establishment of large seals, if there are extensive defects of the tooth crown. Tabs made of various metals, ceramics, plastics, composite materials are also used.

Bridges

For over three decades, dentists establish the so-called patients   bridges . With their help, you can not only restore the ability to chew food effectively, but the man does not lose sensitivity, feels all the taste of food. In addition, people relatively quickly gets used to such prostheses.

Bridges - a design that consists of two crowns, which are located between the artificial teeth. Externally, this design is similar to the bridge, which gave the name of such a prosthesis. Such a bridge is attached to the crowns on the teeth, which are supporting. Metal-ceramic bridges can replace from one to four missing teeth, arranged in a row. It is important that the teeth that are attached prosthesis are healthy and able to withstand the extra pressure when chewing.

Dentists use different types of prostheses, which primarily differ in the material of which are made. Also, the difference between the two is in the process of installation and workmanship. Most often, doctors use a cast-metal prostheses, which are support for healthy teeth. Such prostheses are reliable, they provide all the requirements regarding the functionality, but from an aesthetic point of view, are not ideal.

Before you install a prosthesis, the doctor determines all the indications and contraindications, and with a positive result, begins to prepare to install the supporting teeth. Initially they depulpiruyut and carefully seal up all the channels. Thereafter, the teeth grind in order to subsequently set the bit. Sometimes dental use tabs. Provided that the abutment teeth are healthy, sometimes the doctor decides not to depulpation.

After completing preparatory works are taken casts of the jaws, and the prosthesis is made. Further stages of a fitting, fitting the prosthesis and the final installation. If in step addiction person feels discomfort, then he needs to see a doctor for re-inspection.

Also cast are set as solder bridges, which consist of a single stamped crowns, joined with solder. Now, however, these prostheses are seldom used as stamped solder prostheses can have a detrimental effect on the oral mucosa. The fact that when making several different metals are used. In addition, these prostheses bad adjacent to the supporting teeth.

If the patient has no teeth 1-2 can use plastic prosthetics. With their help, we achieved an excellent aesthetic effect. However, these prostheses have insufficient strength, their use is not practiced in the deep bite, and they quickly erased.

Bridges in the castle mounts recently very popular, as their use makes it possible to dispense with the use of crowns.

Composite bridges do in case the supporting teeth have a very strong inclination. As a consequence, it applies a normal prosthesis difficult. Composite body of the prosthesis is performed in two parts.

Bridge prosthesis does not apply to bruxism , No more than 4 incisors, 2 premolars. If a person has an overbite, or he suffers severe periodontitis   or periodontitis Such prostheses are not practiced. Also contraindicated is the presence of the jaw bone diseases, inflammatory processes in the mouth.

Dentists and define some of the negative things that occur in this type of prosthesis. It is a necessity depulpirovat and grind the abutment teeth, and after the establishment of bridges - carefully look after them. The most serious drawback of a significant increase in pressure on the abutment teeth. Besides the cost of such prostheses rather high.

Crowns

Crowns   used in that situation, if the tooth is very badly damaged. Modern dental crowns not only allows you to return the natural shape of the tooth, but also to ensure its functionality in the future and at the same time protect the tooth from development caries . In modern dentistry has rarely set gold crowns, as there are different types of dental crowns that meet modern requirements. For their manufacturing are used the best materials.

Dental crowns - a kind of "cap", the installation of which is carried out on the tooth root. Such a prosthesis is used when a tooth has been very badly damaged, or it there is a serious aesthetic defect. Crowns are also installed on the dental implant, if the tooth is completely absent.

Typically, crown set if the crown of the tooth more than 70% destroyed. In this case, no longer is a question of what is better to install a seal or tab: the doctor clearly recommends installing a dental crown.

Dental crowns set in several stages. Initially, the survey is conducted tooth, then - the necessary treatment. In most cases, the doctor makes the decision about the removal of the nerve of the tooth. Next, the physician must determine what type of dental crown used in a particular case. Modern dentists set Metal . ceramic   and metal-ceramic crowns . In the process of selection of the material taken into account evidence of human wishes and the cost of a crown.

Crowns made of metal - this is the first type of dental crowns. However, these crowns are used today. They practiced their production of steel, titanium, platinum and gold. But if the chewing function of the tooth crowns are restored, from an aesthetic standpoint they are clearly losing the other options.

Metal-ceramic crown on the tooth - the most popular option that looks aesthetically pleasing, and provides the necessary strength of the tooth. The inside of a crown made of metal, and its outer part - a ceramic. How much is this crown depends on several factors, but it is the metal crown is considered mid-priced option.

All-ceramic crowns - the most expensive, but at the same time provide maximum aesthetics. However, they are not as strong as are made without the use of metal. But in recent years new technologies have improved the strength of such crowns. Besides ceramics - safest material from the viewpoint of biocompatibility.

Dental implants

Dental implants   It consists of two parts. This directly implant (screw of titanium, which is implanted in the jaw) and the abutment (link that binds the implant and a dental bridge or crown). These elements of high strength, and titanium, from which they are made, is neutral to the human body.

Dental implants are implanted in three stages. Initially installed in the patient's jaw titanium screw. The following healing period, after which the prosthetic implant abutment connection provides. The next step - is carrying out a kind of "merging" of the implant and bone. The last step is the production of a dental prosthesis and its adherence to the implant system. This type of prosthesis can restore the natural look of the teeth and restore chewing function.

Modern dental implants provide an opportunity to secure dentures, as well as to solve the difficult problems that often arise in removable prosthetics. In this case, the jaw is completely devoid of teeth can be implanted from 4 to 6 implants. Assessing the pros and cons when choosing a method of prosthesis, the doctor often decides what the best quality dental implants completely resolve the difficulties of the patient. In addition, the technology used can achieve what a person feels like a natural tooth prosthesis.

Before installing implants teeth, the doctor must perform the required inspection, it determines whether there are contraindications for such prosthetics. Taking into account all the individual characteristics of specialist to determine which implants are best used in a particular case. The operation to implant the implant is performed under local anesthesia, it lasts about one hour.

Dentures on implants can be used on up to 25 years. Restore a prosthesis difficult. A patient with such prostheses must carefully adhere to oral hygiene and do not forget about preventive dental visits.

It is impossible to carry out the implantation of implants at blood diseases . hypertension . coronary heart disease . diabetes . onokoboleznyah And when the deformed bite and severe diseases periodontal .
