Dental prostheses: the main types and their features, the stages of performing prosthetics, what are the prices in Ukraine

Prosthetic dentistry is an integral part of dentistry as well as research of causes, elimination of defects.Modern methods and materials allow to restore the dentition even in the absence of them.With the introduction of computer technology, prosthetics stepped a long way forward, completely reversing the basics.

Indications for the use of dental prosthetics

Modern methods of prosthetics allow for partial restoration of teeth as well as for complete restoration of of lost segments.

Indications for prosthetics:

• tooth surface is significantly destroyed;
• Adentium, which is eliminated by the installation of removable dentures or implantation;
• destruction of segments while preserving the root system;
• dentition is significantly deformed, which makes it possible to apply all types of prosthetics;
• partial or complete absence of teeth.

When selecting a design, the medical indicators of the patient , doctor's recommendations and financial possibilities should be taken into account.Absence of teeth in a person does not only spoil the appearance, but also has a negative effect on health:

1. Gastrointestinal diseases arise from a violation of the chewing process.
2. After losing even one tooth, the load on the others increases.
3. In addition to the negative external effect, a person's self-esteem falls and psychological balance is disrupted.

Types of prosthetics

Depending on the design used for the restoration of the dentition, they are divided into three main types.Fixed prostheses, the main feature of which is permanent fixation, removable structures and combined variants of and the first two.

During the development of orthopedic dentistry, the second option has been significantly improved aesthetically.But the usability indicators also improved, with the introduction of the acrylic plastic , which facilitated the design.This provided a good appearance and ease of extraction from the oral cavity.

Prosthetics of jaws, in which there are no teeth, is produced due to a tight fit of the acrylic base.Application of special adhesion creams significantly increase the reliability of fastening.

Prosthetics of the upper and lower teeth has its differences.The question of the first is more simply solved, this is due to the greater pothole of the support that the provides for a reliable fastening of the .

Removable structures

When there are no more than three teeth in a row, doctors recommend a removable version of the prosthesis.

The basis of the construction is made of nylon, metal plastic and acrylic paste , to which fixing devices and other elements are attached.

The most popular partially removable dentures:

• clasp;
• plastic with a metal or acrylic base;
• nylon.

Partially removable and removable prostheses have such disadvantages:

1. Healthy segments on which the construction relies are covered with crowns.
2. Regular use promotes atrophy of bone tissue.
3. First time the basis of the prosthesis is a nuisance.

Despite the constant improvement of removable structures, these methods significantly lose implants.

Fixed prosthesis

With a complete lack of teeth, the best option is to use implants.This allows even distribution of the chewing load.Depending on the material, is allocated nonmetallic and metal prosthesis .

As a basis for non-removable prosthesis,

• alloys of gold, cobalt, chromium, palladium;
• ceramics on aluminum oxide, zirconium, porcelain.

When fixing defects in the front teeth, uses metal-free construction as the closest, in appearance to natural.Chewing teeth are not demanding for aesthetics, as they are located on the periphery.

And then you can use less expensive solutions, which in their characteristics are not worse( cermet).The most popular types of fixed prosthesis:

• Bridges, restore lost tooth segments.
• The crown, which completely copies the shape and color of the natural tooth, is made of cermets, ceramics.
• Microprostheses( lumineers, inlays, veneers) are used to repair damaged surfaces and improve aesthetic performance.

Dental techniques allow you to solve even very complex tasks and return your teeth in full.

Advantages of modern teeth prosthetics technology

Modern methods of prosthetics are improved every year, improving their characteristics.This allows you to do the procedure safely and painlessly at all stages.Using temporary crowns, removes the issue of visiting public places with turned teeth, good appearance is preserved at all stages.

New methods allowed the to shorten the duration of the procedure to three days, while 5 years ago it took two weeks.The materials underwent a profound modernization.Modern prosthetics uses cermets, metal-free designs and metal alloys.The choice of material is made depending on which tooth requires restoration.

If a person experiences an allergic reaction to a substance, then zirconium is used.Application of modern technologies provides with high accuracy and automation of processes.

Steps for performing the prosthesis

The procedure must be performed in strict compliance with the medical protocol, no deviation is allowed even in one of the items.At the preparatory stage, a thorough examination of the oral cavity is made, X-ray studies of , if caries is to be removed.

If there are pathologies of bite, then an orthodontist is required, this will avoid problems with the installation of prostheses.Before the beginning of prosthetics, it is necessary to discuss the materials, the type of structures, terms and price.

There are general stages in prosthetics, regardless of the method:

1. Diagnostic measures and choice of design, depending on indicators and individual preferences.
2. Additional teeth treatment if necessary.
3. Impression of the jaw on which the denture will be installed is made.
4. A plaster model is cast on the basis of casts.
5. Checking the accuracy of the clamping of teeth.
6. Prosthesis is made and fitting is done.
7. Final installation and fixation.

Possible complications of

Even with the use of modern technologies, prosthetics remains the introduction of a foreign body into the body, to which it must adapt.Therefore, different complications can occur.The main reasons for which are:

• Treatment of the oral cavity was not carried out.
• The dental technician incorrectly calculated the design.
• The prosthesis was installed with errors, as a result of which bacteria accumulate at the junction of the gingiva and prosthesis.
• The design was carried out with irregularities, as a result of which there was a breakdown.
• Allergic reaction.
• The dentition has shifted, resulting in the expulsion of the prosthesis.
• The patient did not follow the hygiene rules.
• In humans, a weakened immune system.

If has a medical protocol broken during the prosthetics, then such complications may appear:

• discomfort from the design;
• stomatitis;
• galvanic effect;
• cementing of the structure in violation of the order of installation;
• allergic reaction.

To reduce these risks, needs to contact a highly qualified clinic, but the price will be higher.

Care instructions

Implants do not need special hygiene procedures.They require only daily cleaning, like natural teeth.Removable dentures are more demanding and require additional care.

Due to the peculiarities of the construction, they accumulate food residues, which contributes to the multiplication of pathogenic bacteria.To avoid this, needs to clean after each meal.

The prices of dental prosthetics in Ukraine

Depending on the material and design, the price can vary widely.Ceramics are best suited for implants, acrylic constructions dominate the lower price segment.

The number of implants to be installed determines the total cost of the prosthesis.The price of is also affected by the qualification of the doctor , the work of an experienced professional is much more expensive.

Approximate cost of services:

1. Crown based on zirconium oxide - from 3200 hrn.
2. Crown E-Max( metal-free) - from 3200 hrn.
3. Tab( non-metal) - from 2100 hrn.
4. Veneers( non-metal) - from 2900 hrn.
5. Prostheses with a lock - from 5200 hrn.
6. Classic prosthesis - from 3300 UAH.
7. Removable - from 1700 hrn.

When choosing a clinic, you will carefully become acquainted with the qualifications of doctors, how many years he has been practicing and read reviews on the Internet.Do not pursue low prices, on teeth can not save .
