The choice of material for the clasp prosthesis on the upper jaw, what is different from the prosthesis on the lower jaw

Prosthetics of the dental jaw serves to restore the ability of a person to chew food if natural teeth are completely or partially lost.There is a bridge and a removable version of the restoration of teeth.They differ in that the patient can take the second prosthesis independently for cleaning or during sleep.Modern dentures are so comfortable to wear that it is not necessary to take them out for the night, they do not cause any inconvenience to their owner.

Nowadays, with prosthetic dentures, the latest technological developments and perfect materials are used.Their strength allows you to grind solid food and stay for a long time in an unchanged state.

Wide smile allows a beautiful and aesthetic appearance of modern clasp products on the upper jaw. Convenience when wearing allows you to test the latest composite materials that do not have harmful and allergic reactions on the patient's body.Soft and flexible products are carried out exactly on the jaw and allow a person to fully enjoy eating, despite wearing removable dentures.

The fixtures of the structures become more invisible and qualitatively retain the clasp prosthesis on the lower jaw in the mouth when talking, sneezing, which was not before.To fix dental structures in completely toothless gums arrange implants implanted in the body of the gums, on which the full removable denture is attached.A detachable product is also manufactured in the event of the loss of only one tooth.

Clasp structures

Products based on curved arc , connecting the two sides of the removable jaw, are called clasp.Such designs are used not only to restore the dentition, but also for the treatment of periodontal disease.Clasp dentures on the lower jaw are made with a base of hard material, mostly plastic.

Clasp prosthetics is firmly included in dentistry.Clasp prosthesis on the upper jaw differs invisible mounts, passing behind a row of teeth across the sky.The clasp prosthesis on the lower jaw facilitates chewing food and works well for the moving load.

The time of getting used to the foreign body in the mouth with clasp prosthetics is shortened because such structures have the optimal shape and do not cause any inconvenience to the patient.

Clasp prosthesis for the upper jaw of nylon

The nylon material for the manufacture of temporary dental structures and for fitting prostheses was used by physicians in the middle of the XIX century.After improving the production of this material, it was used for permanent dentures at the dawn of our XX century.

Nylon is the synthesized material polyamide, which is close in properties to the animal protein.Modern dentistry is positive about the use of such products for restoration of teeth.

The material under spring load resilient and restores the original set shape.The strength of clasp prostheses on the upper jaw of nylon is very high, the material does not contain aggressive allergic components, it is flexible enough to repeat the shape of the gingiva.

The appearance of nylon prostheses is sometimes simply impossible to distinguish from the natural row of teeth.The fixing of the prosthesis is carried out imperceptibly, in the color of the gums by the clasps, which do not destroy the enamel of the supporting tooth.Healthy teeth designed to support prostheses are not polished, which significantly extends their service life.

When wearing nylon prostheses, there is no indication for the use of special glue to fix , because the soft material in the manufacture of the prosthesis allows you to get the most accurate gum configuration and does not fall off.

Disadvantages of nylon burglar structures

• The reason why the use of nylon clasp prostheses for the upper jaw is recommended is their softness and elasticity of .The lower jaw is the most mobile and the main load during chewing lies on it.The product made of nylon, over time, is forced into places of hard and hard food ingress and changes its shape, and hooks made of soft material can not be held on the base of the tooth and rub the gum.That is why it is better to use nylon clasp products for the upper jaw, where the load is not so acute.
• The next drawback is the need for very careful maintenance of for products made from this material.For cleaning, it is necessary to purchase additional special cleaning pastes, to use ordinary toothpaste is not recommended, since over time the prosthesis will be covered with a network of small scratches and will lose an attractive appearance.

Acrylic( plastic) clasp prosthesis

Very wide-spread in the past in dental practice have found designs for prosthetics made of plastic.A low price is advantageously combined with quality and strength characteristics.

Acrylic refers to thermoplastic polymers , which are synthesized from an acid contained in natural gas.

The high popularity of the use of acrylic clasp prostheses for restoring the dentition of the lower jaw is explained by such qualities as strength to destruction and wear.

Clasp dentures when worn on the lower jaw take on the main load and distribute it evenly over the entire surface of the jaw without causing inflammation from uneven punching.

Braces clasp designs on the upper and lower jaw with the help of clasps, which sometimes are visible in acrylic products.

Permanent wearing of acrylic clasp prostheses does not cause any allergic reactions of the body.From the upper and lower jaw prosthesis is removed equally easily, with one touch of fingers.

The tooth structure from acrylic does not require any special care for , simple pastes can be used for cleaning.With a very large rush can be manufactured for several days.

The main advantage is that the supporting healthy teeth suffer comparatively rarely, since not only they but also the gums are loaded, this allows optimal functioning of all components of the oral cavity.

Disadvantages of acrylic denture prosthesis

• Sufficient long term adaptation of to a foreign body in the mouth.This is because the base made of plastic is hard and can sometimes rub the tender gum body.
• Acrylic dentures allow the development and reproduction of certain types of microbes, so the main method to combat this situation is regular constant cleaning of the prosthesis, for which they need to be removed from the mouth.
• Acrylic under the influence of persistent food colors can over time lose or change the color of , which will spoil the attractive appearance of the upper and lower jaw.

How to fix the clasp prosthesis

• The clasps( hooks) for upper and lower jaws are considered to be a common fastening.Such fixing elements have in their composition small strong springs, which allow to clasp the base of the tooth and contribute to the preservation of the enamel of a healthy neighboring tooth.The disadvantage is that because of the anatomical features of the dentition, it is not always possible to avoid the invisibility of the clammers with a broad smile.
• A modern fastening method is the application of micro-locks( attachments).On a healthy supporting tooth, a crown is put on, into which one unobtrusive part of the lock is attached.The second is located directly in the body of the clasp prosthesis.Such fixation is popular due to the fact that it is absolutely not noticeable in the oral cavity and allows you to laugh, hiding the fact of the presence of a denture.
• Fixation on implanted implants and is performed if there are no teeth at all.Such artificial multilayer microstructures are manufactured using the latest technologies.The basis is the natural fusion of the implant tissue and the gingival tissue of the gum.The procedure is very long and expensive, but the results obtained are striking in their effectiveness.
• Another option for fixing structures to the upper and lower jaws is the telescopic fixation .The principle assumes the existence of two repeating shell configurations, one of which is attached to the supporting tooth, and the second is inserted into the body of the prosthesis.When fastening one is put on top of the other.Manufacturing technology refers to very complex methods in its essence, but the obtained fastening has the greatest durability of all possible.

In order for the to correctly choose the design for upper and lower jaw prosthetics, a competent and experienced specialist must be advised.Only the dentist can take into account the objective and subjective factors for choosing the material and method of clasp prosthetics.We must not forget that only a timely and constant visit to the dental clinic can delay the prosthetic process itself for a long time, as planned dental treatment will help to preserve their health and beauty.
