Crowns and bridges are non-removable prosthetic structures. Before use, the patient needs to learn about the procedure.

When are crowns removed?

So, first of all, let's understand when the removal of crowns may be necessary:

Uncementation. When chewing, the cement under the crown partially disintegrates and the patient feels the movement. The loosened structure is removed, the cement residue is removed, and the crown is reinstalled. Painful sensations under the prosthesis. Theoretically, procedures can be carried out through the holes, which after treatment are filled. In fact, not always the method is effective and allows you to get to the lesion Repeated prosthetics.

When a person loses teeth, the bone tissue beneath them atrophies. Left unloaded, it atrophies, shrinking in size. The process occurs actively in the first year after extraction. The cells of the mucosal cavity fill the space of the extracted tooth and block the growth of bone cells.

Causes of atrophy:

Gum disease; endocrine, infectious diseases; tooth loss.

Regardless of the causes, the patient wants to restore the aesthetics and chewing function of the dentoalveolar apparatus.

Such microprostheses are used to correct aesthetic imperfections of the dentoalveolar apparatus, additional protection of enamel. Made from impressions, the onlays imitate the natural shade of the tooth row and do not stand out from it.

Veneering aligns the tooth row, hides defects (uneven teeth, large interdental gaps, cracks or chips of the crown shell), simplifies oral hygiene, serves as an effective means of preventing periodontal disease.

Why patients are afraid of dentures

Removable and fixed dental structures are the two pillars on which prosthetic dentistry stands. No two clinical situations are alike, and there is no one-size-fits-all method of tooth reconstruction. When a patient comes to see a prosthodontist, he or she expects to get a solution to the problem. And the doctor offers at least 5-6 ways to replace lost teeth. But:

some patients are intimidated by the grinding of teeth, others are intimidated by the possibility of wearing a removable jaw, others are intimidated by the cost of orthopedic treatment, and some of the above.

We would like to add that many are afraid of pain, which has not been experienced by visitors to clinics for a long time. At the doctor's disposal is a choice of local anesthetic drugs for children, people suffering from hypertension, allergic people. In dental centers, sedation is used to reduce anxiety and enhance the effect of anesthetics. Sometimes sedation is made deep, and the patient falls…
