How to care for dentures made of plastic

The absence of one or a row of teeth in the oral cavity creates an uncomfortable condition for a person at any age.And when installing the prosthesis should be sure to carry out the correct care to extend the period of their operation.How good will hygiene of the oral cavity be carried out, so long can keep dentures, especially from plastic in excellent condition.Without careful care, probably the appearance of odor, loss of aesthetics.That there were no troubles, it is important to take into account certain subtleties of care.

Precautions and features of the care procedure

Prostheses require a careful and accurate attitude.The first rule when wearing artificial structures is the rejection of solid, sticky food.You can not eat nuts, chewing gum.Also, it is necessary to control the structure during removal, to prevent any fall, as a result of which they can break down.When cleaning is carried out, it is necessary to hold the prosthesis over a soft surface, a bowl with water, over a towel or a sink.Independently to carry out repairs is strictly prohibited.

To extend the life of the prosthesis from plastic, you must adhere to certain rules for the care of it.

Specialists offer effective methods that are better performed simultaneously in the care of removable dentures made of plastic:

• Water Washing refers to one of the available methods for cleaning prosthetic products from food particles after ingestion.For the procedure, boiled water is used, because harmful water can be contained in running water.But such withdrawal is only part of the necessary cleaning procedures;
• individually selected hygienic items , like a brush, a paste that can be replaced with soapy water if necessary.Cleaning of the prosthetic structure is carried out from two times a day, but it is desirable to conduct the procedure after each meal with a brush and a special paste.Plastic has a porous structure, which indicates the rapid contamination and development of microorganisms.The material darkens from the daily consumption of coffee, tea and other coloring products.On the technique of cleaning the prosthesis does not differ from natural teeth.But you should carry out brushing movements from the gum to the edges of the prosthesis, so that the plaque does not fall under the gum;
• use of disinfectant liquid .It should be placed in liquid with antiseptic substances for a time, a prosthetic construction.This treatment eliminates contamination, various microbes, residues of adhesives that are used for fixation.The funds are usually sold in pharmacies in the form of a liquid or tablets.
  After performing dental procedures, orthodontists necessarily advise patients how to take care of dentures from plastic, what better to use the tools
  ;
• cleaning with irrigator .Depending on the model, the device feeds a different stream of water.Some irrigators supply water with pulsating, secondly, the water supply takes place with micro bubbles with air, or with a mono jet.The device does not damage the prosthetic structures and allows the pressure of the water jet to sweep out the remains of food, raid from hard-to-reach places.Also the device stimulates blood circulation of gums, improving their condition;
  

  Irrigator for the mouth

• Application of water-soluble tablets containing acids, enzymes and bleaching agents.They contribute to the removal of microbes and disinfection of the surface of the prosthesis;
• advanced care products .Currently, there are a variety of devices that allow you to clean removable plastic prostheses.The ultrasound baths that are used for cleaning with a non-contact method are popular, and they guarantee the absence of deposits, dental stones, unpleasant odors on the structure;
• cleansing in dentistry .Once every six months, you should visit the dentist for preventive procedures and check the condition of the prosthesis.Plastic constructions need cleaning from hardened deposits, but self-conducting can damage.The development of pathogenic microorganisms on prosthetic structures, accumulation of plaque contributes to the appearance of an unpleasant odor, creating an uncomfortable state for patients.Proper care prolongs the service life and prevents the development of diseases in the oral cavity.

These procedures are suitable for the care of dental prostheses made of plastic on metal hooks.The cleaning agents are dental glue used for fixing.The agent in the process of application creates a sealed interlayer between the gum and the structure, reliably protecting from falling of pieces of products, rubbing gums.

Correctness of storage

With proper care, which is recommended by specialists, it is important to pay attention to keeping the prosthesis during rest and sleep.Many users of prostheses suggest that it should be stored in a container with the addition of a solution.But for a long time in the past, when the designs were made using rubber, which was subjected to drying and cracking without moisture.Then the prosthesis, of course, was placed in a solution.Today, prosthetic plastic products are manufactured using high-tech plastic - acrylic, or nylon.At night, it is not advisable to remove the prosthesis for the purpose of quick, addictive to them, and also to prevent displacement of the jaw head.In any case, the prosthesis is the individual design of each patient, and it is important to consult on the matter of storage with the doctor.

Whitening

Special tablets

are used for whitening prostheses

It is often possible to hear the questions of users of prostheses, whether it is possible to bleach them and than in cases when during some period of time there was not enough care.If you do not regularly look after, then there may be a rapid darkening due to the appearance of a stone or pigmented plaque.Doctors do not recommend bleaching with conventional toothpastes, since they contain a large number of abrasive components.

Cleansing and cleansing dentures

Several methods have been considered above, how to properly care for dentures made of plastic.But it is desirable to learn more in detail what should be purchased in the first place, the means of daily care of products.They are divided into two main types, both for fixing and directly cleaning the structures. Fixing devices and substances are required for a removable denture, helping it to be reliably retained in the oral cavity.

1. fixing agents that are valid for 24 hours.They reliably adhere the prosthesis to the mucosa, creating a gasket that protects against pressure on the gums.The cream is taken for use in small amounts so as not to cause harm to health.
2. Powder for fixing .It is used when there is little salivation.It has a reliable fixation, is applied a thin layer on the prosthesis, which should be pressed against the gums for a certain time.
3. Fixing strips , which are made of canvas.They are used in cases of severe addiction to structures and are attached to the prosthesis, exerting softening pressure on the mucosa.
4. Hygienic care kits , like brushes, brush, denture pastes, free of abrasive ingredients, rinsers with disinfectant properties, irrigator, floss, tablets for indication.Ershik used to clean the interdental spaces.
   The brush should be changed almost every month for cleaning to be performed more efficiently.
5. tablets are poppers that dissolve small food particles and destroy the infection, which can not be done with a toothbrush.

It is important to pay attention, as mentioned above, to places of special pollution, like the ducts of the gland, the masticatory surface.

Correction of the plastic prosthesis

When the installation procedures are performed, the first correction of the prosthetic design should be performed the next day.Within two weeks, the procedure is repeated four times.



After insertion of the prosthesis, the first correction should be made the next day

This should be done because the prosthesis with sagging on the gums may cause certain inconveniences with the pain during wearing.The appearance of pain, pressure can not be calculated when designing the product and therefore correction is required in any situation.In the case when the prepared prosthesis causes discomfort and it is impossible to wear it, you should wear it for a few hours before going to the doctor.This is important for the doctor, who should consider the problem areas and correct the prosthesis.

The product is not used after carrying out corrective procedures during the day.For rapid healing of affected areas, it is advisable to rinse the oral cavity with decoctions.
