Prosthetics is an event that involves serious financial expenditures. Going to install a bridge or crown, the patient expects that the design will be comfortable, beautiful and durable. What a disappointment when you leave the clinic, you feel the worst discomfort. Literally, after a couple of days, the tooth under the crown hurts, and after another week, the bridge breaks in half. Such a situation is considered a thickening of colors. How to insure against it, and what to do if it has already happened to you.

Immediately it is worth clarifying the following: the work of the prosthodontist and dental technician is not in the fact that the prosthesis is immediately comfortable, but in how you can get used to it. The area where the structure comes in contact with your gum will feel chafing at first. Prepare for the fact that it will take 1-2 adjustments of the denture before it “sits” and allows you to forget about the presence.

Let’s look at ways to identify improper dentures and symptoms:

• This will be figured out by the dentist, who will look at the point of contact. He will determine the severity of the damage – redness, inflammation, ulcers, etc. Local inflammation of the mucosa is normal. If there are bleeding ulcers on the gum, the prosthesis needs correction.
• If the crown has fallen out and severe carious destruction of the stump. These are the consequences of improper preparation of the tooth for prosthetics. Most likely, the necessary sealing rules were not followed or the carious tissue was not cleaned out.
• If you feel rasping and throbbing pain under the denture (crown, bridge). Rather, it is not incorrect prosthetics, but poor-quality preparation of the canals. Perforation of the canal wall or remaining cavities are a cause for inflammation. The solution is to remove the prosthesis, re-treat the canal and re-install the structure. If you have been treated at the same place, you will make sure that an error in endodontic treatment will not cause additional costs for retreatment.
