The first question when a patient is given the verdict of having one or more teeth extracted is the question of prosthetics. Replacement dentistry techniques offer a spectrum of approaches in terms of fixed and removable restoration. A patient planning dental prosthetics understands the differences of each method and studies reviews about them

Before choosing a restoration option, make sure that you have no prohibitions to dentures with this method. The doctor is confident in the effectiveness of the technology used, and in the safety for a particular patient.

For the most part, the prohibitions are relative. They are removable, and relate to the installation of fixed prostheses (crowns, bridges).

Classification of contraindications is quite simple, namely, “prohibitions” are divided into local and general. Let’s consider their essence and ways to solve the problem in the table:

Local contraindications

Solution

General contraindications

Solution

Poor oral hygiene

Change attitude to brushing and other hygiene procedures, have professional cleaning, get rid of tooth decay.

Impossibility of surgical intervention (e.g., total allergy to anesthetics)

Consider the option of removable prosthetics with modern methods – nylon dentures Akri-Fri, Quadrotti, etc.

Bone tissue diseases – osteomyelitis, osteoporosis.

Undergo a course of treatment aimed at eliminating the disease and regeneration of bone tissue cells.

Some types of drug therapy administered to the patient at the moment (for example, taking cytostatics, blood thinners).

Postpone prosthetics for the period when the effect of the medication will cease.

Inflammatory gum disease

Reduce inflammation, eliminate the source of infection.

Stress condition

Take a course of anti-stress therapy

Dentists distinguish in the list of prohibitions also:

  • mental disorders,
  • oncological diseases in the stage of development
  • acute problems with the heart, blood vessels or respiratory organs,
  • diabetes.

Separately, it is worth highlighting temporary prohibitions to prosthetic teeth, associated with the patient’s condition at a particular time:

  • pregnancy,
  • acute illness or exacerbation of chronic diseases,
  • rehabilitation period, etc.

Such patients should temporarily refrain from installing dentures. Wait until the body is ready. Age is not a prohibition to dentures. The photos in the gallery of the website show examples of restored teeth of elderly people.
