Improper dentures

Reading time ~ 2 min Number of readings: 48546

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…

Braces care

Reading time ~ 6 min. Number of reads: 8387

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. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of the teeth constantly, and during the wearing of the structure even more carefully. And after a few years, associated with minor inconveniences, restrictions in eating, you will get not only a corrected bite, but also healthy teeth.

Brushing before braces

Care for teeth with braces begins even before their installation. Oral sanitation and professional cleaning are performed. Hard tartar is removed using ultrasound, and soft plaque is removed using a pressurized jet with a special cleaning solution (AirFlow method). The surface i…

Preparing for braces

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…

Trou sec après une extraction dentaire - symptômes et traitement

L'extraction dentaire est l'une des opérations les plus populaires et les plus simples de la médecine. Elle se déroule généralement sans complications, mais pour un certain nombre de raisons courantes ou subjectives, des anomalies peuvent survenir. L'une de ces complications postopératoires est le trou sec.

En effet, après l'extraction d'une dent, une cavité se forme à sa place, qui, dans un scénario positif, est remplie d'un caillot de sang. Celui-ci empêche la pénétration des germes dans la plaie ouverte et favorise sa guérison rapide. Un trou sec après l'extraction d'une dent est l'absence de caillot sanguin dans la cavité. Cela peut se produire pour deux raisons :

Dislocation ou résorption. Saignements abondants, à la suite desquels le caillot n'a pas pu se former.

Quelle qu'en soit la cause, le processus de guérison peut prendre des semaines et s'accompagner d'une gêne importante, qu'il n'est pas toujours possible d'éliminer par ses propres moyens.

Symptomatologie

Le syndrome de la cavité sèche est très douloureux. Il est assez facile d'identifier ...

What are the best dental crowns

When the need for prosthetic teeth arises, the question arises - which crowns are better to put. Modern dentistry offers various options for dental crowns. They differ in material and purpose, manufacturing technology. Each type has its pros and cons, each is recommended for certain indications.

What are the types of crowns

A crown is a prosthesis for a tooth. Its main purpose is not only to imitate a healthy tooth, but also to preserve the one under it, to fully perform the chewing function, biting, if the installation is planned for the front teeth, to restore aesthetics, to return a beautiful smile. Again, relevant if it concerns the frontal zone.

What crowns are better to choose? First it is worth considering their types. According to the materials, they are divided into:

metal; metal-ceramic; all-ceramic; metal-plastic; zirconium.

In each of the above types of dental crowns, there is also a variation.

Prosthetics after tooth extraction

A professional dentist will do everything to save a tooth, but sometimes this is not possible. You have to undergo surgery - extraction and plan for prosthetics after extraction. It is necessary because the aesthetics, the integrity of the tooth row is lost. There are problems with the bite, as neighboring teeth try to occupy the vacated space, the load on the entire jaw system is distributed incorrectly. And many other reasons that worsen the health of the patient - the price of refusing to prosthetics after tooth extraction in time.

Types of prostheses

After extraction, according to the indications, the doctor can offer the following type of prostheses:

removable; fixed.

Les dents pourries - tout sur les causes et les options de traitement

Les statistiques montrent que 98 % des gens ont peur d'aller chez le dentiste. En conséquence, les problèmes dentaires sont repoussés jusqu'au jour où l'on découvre qu'une dent est pourrie. Une visite chez le médecin est alors inévitable, mais il y a beaucoup de travail à faire.

Contrairement à la croyance populaire, les dents pourries ne sont pas seulement le résultat d'une mauvaise hygiène.

Causes de la pourriture dentaire

Oui, nous savons tous qu'il faut se brosser les dents deux fois par jour, utiliser du fil dentaire et se rendre chez le dentiste deux fois par an. De nombreux patients suivent ces recommandations et leurs dents continuent de se détériorer et de pourrir. Une mauvaise hygiène n'est pas la seule raison pour laquelle les dents se détériorent. Il existe d'autres facteurs :

Les maladies des gencives déclenchent la multiplication des bactéries, qui rongent littéralement l'émail et détruisent les tissus dentaires ; la génétique joue un rôle dans la capacité des dents à résister aux facteurs pathogènes ; les conditions environnementales défavorables entraînent davantage de problèmes dentaires dans les zones industrielles que dans les endroits dépourvus d'usines et de moulins...

Implant engraftment

Implantation is the only prosthetic method that restores the functionality of the entire tooth, not just the crown part. A dental implant is a multi-component construction made of biocompatible material (titanium and its alloys) that is inserted into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth unit. It fully replaces the natural tooth, taking over all its functions. Those who dare to implant are usually interested in how dental implants take root, how long it takes, and what problems may arise.

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.

How long do dental implants take to heal

The process of fusion of the implant with the bone is called osseointegration. It occurs in this way:

In the first 30 days after…

Gum shaper for implantation

Implant prosthetics is the most physiological way to restore missing teeth. The essence of the method is that an artificial tooth root is implanted into the gum, on top of which an orthopedic structure (crown, bridge) is placed. But in order to make the prosthetic system look natural, fit tightly to the gum, firmly fixed to the implant, special suprastructures are used - gum shaper and abutment.

The gum shaper is not always placed during implantation. It is not used in case of complete jaw adentia, when one-stage technologies with immediate loading with a prosthesis are used to restore the dentition. Installation of this suprastructure is necessary in a two-stage protocol. Without it, it is not possible to achieve a correct gingival contour so that the denture looks natural and aesthetic.

In one-stage techniques, the placement of this element is more often skipped. In these cases, one-piece implants are usually used, which are immedi…
