Dental prostheses on suckers: advantages and disadvantages, peculiarities of their storage and dental care on suckers

Do not despair if your teeth are in bad condition, because modern dentistry offers a wide variety of prosthetics.Even if their teeth are not left and the false jaw is absolutely useless, it is possible to help out prostheses on suckers.

Removable structures in the oral cavity are attached in different ways, which requires the presence of at least one real tooth.But if the teeth do not remain at all, then install implants, which are attached to the plate.

New technologies allow to strengthen the prosthesis in a more gentle way , using suckers for this.The design is made of elastic material, completely repeating the relief of the gums.Suction occurs due to the fact that a vacuum effect is created between the mucous membrane and the structure.Dental prostheses are used on suckers not only with complete loss of teeth, but also with partial absence of teeth.

1. 
2. designs fully imitate the appearance of the gums and teeth, performing all functions of the real jaw.Acrylic was created in the thirties of last century.Prostheses from it are made by injection molding.Such designs are durable, simple and inexpensive.However,
   has acrylic dentures that have many drawbacks to , due to which this material was used less often in prosthetics:
   • Contains acrylic methyl ether, which is toxic and, when ingested, often causes allergies.
   • Due to the porous structure of the plastic, microorganisms settle in it.As a result, an unpleasant odor and inflammation develops in the mouth.
   • The material is not resistant to mechanical influences.
3. The nylon has replaced the acrylic.Dental prostheses of it are more elastic, better sucked, do not injure the gums and endure large masticatory loads.You can even install them on weak gums.Nylon is hypoallergenic, and designs from it last longer than acrylic.
4. Dental structures made of polyurethane were invented by Russian scientists.They called a new material - dentalur.In many respects it is better than imported analogues.Polyurethane constructions do not injure the gums, are strong, but at the same time they are elastic in order to qualitatively suck.Dentalur is non-hygroscopic and, thanks to this, there is no bad smell in the mouth.

Since the material is manufactured in Russia, the price of the products from it is lower than that of nylon, and the quality is higher.Advantages of

• High aesthetics.The designs accurately repeat the color of the gingival mucosa and the shape of the palate.
• Do not cause discomfort when used.
• The flexible structure of during chewing does not damage the mucous membrane of the mouth.And since the teeth themselves are hard enough, it's okay to chew even meat.
• Prosthetics made of ductile materials are well attached to the oral mucosa and are therefore convenient to use.During the chewing process, the structure is not displaced.
• Rapid and painless addiction to prosthetic devices on suckers.
• To install the , do not grind adjacent teeth of the , which tightly wraps around its elastic part without damaging the enamel.
• The cost of prostheses on suckers is rather small.

Disadvantages

• Some materials used to make structures on suckers can cause allergies.
• The designs have poor mechanical strength.If there are no problems with chewing food, then crackers and nuts are better not to gnaw.It should be avoided and viscous food.
• With an ideal maintenance life of only about three years.
• Due to uneven load sharing, the atrophy of the jaw bone is significantly accelerated.
• According to the patients, it is not very convenient to look after the structure.
• Prostheses on the suckers are not securely attached to the lower jaw.

Indications and contraindications

• It is recommended to use in the complete absence of teeth due to their removal, illness or trauma.
• Contraindications are temporary.For example, inflammation of the oral mucosa.

Care and storage

It's easy to take care of removable structures .

• After eating, the mouth should be rinsed with water.
• After removing the prosthesis, it is cleaned with a toothbrush with paste, and then placed in a special solution.
• If necessary, you can use floss( dental floss).

With the correct care of , sucker-like structures can avoid complications from their use and prolong the life of the device.

Price

• The cost of the construction on the sucker depends on the prices of the procurement material for the set of teeth, fixtures, gums and auxiliary materials.
• The cost of a prosthesis made of acrylic is lower than that of nylon.
• The price of the construction depends on the individual features of the prosthesis.
• For each patient, you can individually select a suitable option, which allows for a variety of materials.

In order for the denture to have a long service life, the patient should undergo the twice a year.In this case, the average life of the structure will be from five to seven years.It should also be borne in mind that any prosthesis requires correction.
