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…

You've taken a step toward beautiful, straight teeth - you've had a braces system put in. Proper post-installation braces care is now a must. Otherwise, having finished a long orthodontic treatment, after removing braces, you may notice white spots on the enamel or traces of progressive decay.

Preparing for braces

Reading time ~ 1 min Number of readings: 1820

Having braces installed means that there will be additional risk areas where bacteria will gather to "build" plaque. These are the nooks and crannies under the ligature, around the brackets, etc. Remember that poor hygiene is the first step to a long list of dental diseases, among which caries is hardly the most harmless.

Preparing for braces is a serious undertaking that includes the following procedures:

Panoramic radiograph; Hormone testing (if necessary); Treatment of any existing tooth and gum disease; Removal of tartar; Professional hygienic cleaning by a dentist; Remineralization or fluoridation (if necessary); Removal of "extra" teeth, often symmetrical (if necessary).

The last point is indicated in order to evenly place all the teeth on a short jaw, or to make the facial oval more beautiful and harmonious. In some cases, toot…

Dry hole after tooth extraction – symptoms and how to treat it

Tooth extraction is one of the most popular and simple operations in medicine. It usually goes without complications, but due to a number of common or subjective reasons, abnormalities may occur. One such postoperative complication is a dry hole.

The fact is that after extraction of the tooth, a cavity is formed in its place, which in a positive scenario is filled with a blood clot. It prevents the penetration of germs into the open wound and promotes its early healing. A dry hole after tooth extraction is the absence of the very blood clot in the cavity. This can happen for two reasons:

Dislocation or resorption. Heavy bleeding, as a result of which the clot was not able to form.

Whatever the cause, the healing process can take weeks and be accompanied by serious discomfort, which is not always possible to eliminate by their own efforts.

Symptomatology

Dry socket syndrome is very painful. It is quite easy to identify …

Rotten teeth – all about causes and treatment options

Statistics show that 98 percent of people are afraid of going to the dentist. As a result, dental problems are put off until one day we find out that a tooth has rotted away. Then a visit to the doctor is inevitable, but there is a lot of work to be done.

Contrary to popular belief, rotten teeth are not just the result of poor hygiene.

Causes of tooth rot

Yes, we all know that teeth should be brushed 2 times a day, flossed and visited the dentist 2 times a year. Many patients follow these recommendations and their teeth still deteriorate and rot. Poor hygiene is not the only reason why teeth deteriorate. There are other factors:

Gum disease triggers bacteria to multiply, which literally chews through enamel and destroys tooth tissue; genetics plays a role in the ability of teeth to resist pathogenic factors; unfavorable environmental conditions lead to more dental problems in industrial areas than in places without factories and mills…

Implantatets indvækst

Implantation er den eneste protetiske metode, der genopretter funktionaliteten af hele tanden, ikke kun kronedelen. Et tandimplantat er en flerkomponentkonstruktion lavet af biokompatibelt materiale (titanium og dets legeringer), der indsættes i kæbebenet for at erstatte en manglende tands enhed. Det erstatter fuldt ud den naturlige tand og overtager alle dens funktioner. De, der vover at implantere, er normalt interesserede i, hvordan tandimplantater slår rod, hvor lang tid det tager, og hvilke problemer der kan opstå.

The viability of the artificial root depends not only on the choice of its type, shape and size according to the parameters of the jawbone. But also on the general state of health, the correctness of implant placement, compliance with the doctor's instructions in the postoperative period.

Hvor lang tid tager det for tandimplantater at hele?

Processen, hvor implantatet smelter sammen med knoglen, kaldes osseointegration. Den foregår på denne måde:

Tandkødsformer til implantation

Implantatprotetik er den mest fysiologiske måde at genoprette manglende tænder på. Essensen af metoden er, at en kunstig tandrod implanteres i tandkødet, hvorpå der placeres en ortopædisk struktur (krone, bro). Men for at få protesesystemet til at se naturligt ud, passe tæt til tandkødet og være solidt fastgjort til implantatet, bruges der specielle suprastrukturer - tandkødsformer og abutment.

Tandkødsformeren placeres ikke altid under implantationen. Den bruges ikke i tilfælde af komplet kæbeløsning, når der anvendes et-trins-teknologier med øjeblikkelig belastning med en protese til at genoprette tandsættet. Installation af denne suprastruktur er nødvendig i en to-trins protokol. Uden den er det ikke muligt at opnå en korrekt tandkødskontur, så protesen ser naturlig og æstetisk ud.

Ved et-trins-teknikker springes placeringen af dette element oftere over. I disse tilfælde bruges der normalt implantater i ét stykke, som er...
