Options for prosthetics in the absence of teeth, the pros and cons of each option, the estimated cost
Lack of teeth is a harm not only to the jaw, but to the body as a whole.When there is not a single tooth, the distribution of the load is disturbed, and if all the teeth are missing, then an irreparable damage to the oral cavity and gums is applied.In this regard, many people are encouraged to immediately go to the dentistry for the restoration of teeth.With complete absence, prosthetics comes to the rescue.All options for prosthetics of teeth in the complete absence and conditions see below.
In the absence of teeth in patients, they can offer several options for prosthetics.The options for prosthetics can be very different.Everything depends on the quality of the workmanship, the material used and the patient's wallet.We recommend to consider each option and pick up the one that is considered the most suitable for your account.Everything starts with economical options, but ends with expensive ones.
One-piece removable prosthesis
This option is the most economical.It is made from cheaper materials: nylon or acrylic plastic.He got popularity and because of its simplicity in application.
The undoubted advantage of this prosthesis is its cost.
But the disadvantages are much greater.These include:
- unreliable mount.The prosthesis is kept exclusively on the mandibular part due to the created vacuum, and, therefore, when the mouth moves through the , prosthesis will get air particles of and the prosthesis may fly off;
- size.By its size, a single removable prosthesis is quite large.Because of its size, it causes the patient's long addiction.Diction and work of taste receptors may also be temporarily disrupted;
- brittleness.Due to the fact that the prosthesis is made of materials such as acrylic plastic, it is often destroyed.In connection with high loads on the prosthesis, cracks appear, leading to breakage.Plastic prosthesis simply can not withstand the high load of , so it constantly breaks down.Always have to repair it or buy a new one.Is it worth it?The purchase of such a prosthesis will constantly require financial investments.
One-piece removable prosthesis with attachment from nested abutments( locators)
This variant is more improved.Its main difference from the first option is fixation.It is attached to the gums due to special elements.This fixation allows you to be in the same place.Fastening elements:
- locator.It is fixed to the dental implant;
- matrix made of plastic.It is fixed in the most prosthetic construction.
The matrix splits on the globular abutment, which allows the prosthesis to stay in the same place for a long time.At 2 implants it is recommended to use at least two locators.
Advantages:
- reliable fastening.Due to fastening to the locks, the is securely fixed, which allows you to stay in place and not move out;
- price.Despite the fact that this design has also received a good fixation to the jaws, pricing remains.This variant of prosthetics is the most budgetary.
Disadvantages:
- brittleness.In this version, an anchorage already appears, but its quality does not change.Prosthesis made of plastic is made.In the absence of a qualitative skeleton it follows that the prosthesis is short-lived and various kinds of breakdowns are provided to it;
- size.The size of a detachable prosthesis with fixation has sufficient scale dimensions for the oral cavity.Large parts of plastic cover most of the gums and palate.It will be necessary to get used to such a prosthesis.It is necessary to violate the diction;
- load when chewing motion.When chewing, almost all the load is directed to 2 implants, which are the base.It is compulsory for to consult an specialist and follow the instructions.Because of the high load, there is a risk of remaining without bone mass around the prosthetic site.
Detachable prosthesis with beam-like support with implant support
Of all the above, this option of prosthetics of teeth in their complete absence is most suitable.This is due to improvements in reliability and convenience.Only high-quality equipment is used for manufacturing.You will need knowledge not only technology in the teeth, but also the dentist himself.
High-tech construction of the structure of beams, and its milling.The beam fixation has 2 parts:
- beam, which is fixed to the implants;
- matrix of plastic, which are installed in the prosthesis itself.
For qualitative fixing, it is recommended to use at least four implants.
Advantages:
- good fastening.Due to the beam used, the prosthesis is fixed securely, which allows it to stay stationary.This attachment allows the patient to feel much more comfortable;
- a sense of satisfaction with prosthetics.With the beam structure, much less plastic is used for manufacturing, which means that most of the gum and palate remains open.There was no violation of diction and the work of taste buds;
- strength.As a framework, metal is used here, which ultimately indicates its durability and strength;
- load.In the oral cavity there are 4 implants.All the chewing load is directed to them, which confirms the bone safety around the prosthetic site.
Disadvantages:
- price.Due to the reliability and quality of , the patient feels comfortable with , but most of his wallet suffers.The price of such prosthetics of teeth in total absence is much higher;
- removable construction.For proper hygiene, it is necessary to clean the prosthesis at least 2 times a day.In terms of time it will take no more than a minute.
Non-removable prosthesis made of cermet with support for implants
For prosthetics, in the case of complete absence of teeth, a minimum of 4 implants is mandatory.They are also a support.This prosthesis, which does not have to be removed, is very comfortable and comfortable due to high-quality imitation of real teeth.The fixed prosthesis is made of cermet.Plastics here you just will not find.Thus, it is the most compact and convenient.In the absence of their own gums, set the ceramic and repaint the desired natural color.
Advantages:
- Convenience.Convenience and comfort is that this prosthesis is not removable.As a result, diction is not violated, the work of the taste buds is conducted correctly, and the sky and gums are completely open;
- beauty.A non-removable prosthesis made of cermet allows you to get closer to the natural sensation of teeth.An experienced and skilled professional will make a "Hollywood smile", which no ordinary person can distinguish.Teeth like teeth;
- quality.The frame is made of chrome-cobalt frame, which allows it to be high-quality, durable and durable.This kind of prosthetics will please for a long time.Fractures and cracks are not inherent.
Disadvantages:
- price.This is not the case when, you can say: quality at an affordable price.The level of qualification of a dental technician, a doctor and expensive equipment dictate a very decent amount.Is it worth it to solve each individually?Not every person will be able to afford such prosthetics.Especially if this person is a pensioner and his main income is a pension.
- metal.Metal in rare cases can cause a mild allergic reaction to and a metallic taste in the tongue.
Non-removable prosthesis with support for zirconium dioxide implants
With this complete absence of teeth, this variant of prosthetics is the most beautiful, comfortable, innovative, progressive and biocompatible.On strength zirconium dioxide exceeds even the metal, and, therefore, no taste should not be.
In addition to being durable, almost weightless, so wearing it will be more comfortable and easier.This prosthesis closest to all is close to natural teeth.Just like the teeth of zirconia, has a slight transparency and depth.The fixation of a non-removable denture based on zirconium dioxide is similar to a non-removable prosthesis made of cermet.And the rest is several times better.It really is for all sensations, comfort and naturalness superior to all other prostheses.
