We choose the best dentures: the types of prostheses are their advantages and disadvantages, the patients' opinions about each of the types of prostheses

Prosthetic dentistry and restoration of their functions plays a very important role for the human body.Absence of teeth does not allow chewing food, which leads to various intestinal and gastric diseases.The impossibility of chopping large pieces of food causes their incomplete digestion, which does not allow vitamins and minerals to enter the body.Aesthetic appearance is also not the last thing in a person's appearance.

The technology of restoration of teeth in recent years has moved far ahead.The use of modern high-tech materials allows dentistry to prosthetize teeth from one specimen to the whole jaw line and even with complete absence of chewing elements in the mouth.

Removable dentures

For a correct type of prosthetics, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors:

• number of missing teeth in the oral cavity.If one or two are not enough, it is worth using implant implantation technology or performing a conditionally removable denture;
• if you want to fully restore the process of chewing food
  it is recommended to install non-removable structures , they are most firmly seated in the oral cavity.To do this, there should be the possibility of performing a bridge, that is, several teeth must be preserved for supporting the bridge.For the possibility of a radiant smile, veneers and products of the application-removable version are used;
• for the convenience of wearing apply fixed prosthetic options, since completely removable dentures, no matter how comfortable the product, it is necessary to remove from the mouth for cleaning from time to time.In addition, so can rest those areas of the gingiva bed, which are the most loaded;
• is an important factor influencing the choice of the method of teeth restoration, is the material side of the issue.Many patients would like to choose expensive materials and implants , but they stop on the optimal option that the thickness of the wallet allows them.

The decision to choose a denture should not be decided without consulting an experienced dentist.Such specialists have extensive knowledge and will be able to simultaneously take into account several important factors for each particular patient, especially since the patients' testimonies speak of the effect of allergy on the components used in dentistry.

Dentures made of acrylic

Practice shows that a wide range of people successfully use acrylic removable dentures.Patients' opinions speak about their affordable price in combination with a mandatory set of necessary functions.

A substance called "acrylic" generalizes a group of thermoplastic polymers, basically based on acrylic acid, which is made from natural gas.It appeared for the first time in the 50s of the last century in America, then production began to expand in the countries of Europe.

The high popularity of the application of this material in dentistry is explained by with great resistance to wear , ecology, high strength and lightness.

Pressing of removable acrylic prostheses in the absence of teeth occurs on the gum.Between her and the product creates a sparse space, which allows you to suck in to the gum.

Partially removable acrylic dentures are attached to the remaining healthy teeth.These include clasp dental structures , which for fastening are equipped with clamps.Hooks cover the tooth at the base and allow you to fix the prosthesis, without completely destroying the tooth enamel.

In the absence of one or two teeth, the does not need to grind the adjacent teeth of the under the prosthesis.In this case, make a removable product "butterfly" made of acrylic.The most popular such kind of design for prosthetics of molars.

Advantages of

1. Acrylic, worn in the mouth constantly, does not have any harmful effects on the human body and can be used by patients, regardless of their age.
2. The attachment allows you to smile without any visible attachment elements.
3. Easy and easy to care and wear.It is removed and dressed in one motion, leaving does not require the purchase of special pastes and detergents.
4. Can be manufactured as needed, urgently, within a few days.
5. Various colors and shades of the main material allow them to be selected for existing teeth without visible differences.
6. During operation, the supporting teeth barely suffer, since the gums are also loaded with them.
7. Prostheses are available to a wide range of patients because of the low price.
8. Possibility of repair in case of cracking or eating of the crown.

Disadvantages of

1. Due to the relative hardness of the products, the possibility of pressure wounds is allowed if the prosthesis is fitted inaccurately.
2. Scoring of supporting teeth for a crown, reduces their service life, can cause caries and other pathologies.
3. Acrylic is a favorable environment for the life and reproduction of microbes.This is facilitated by the porous structure of the material and its ability to absorb a small amount of moisture.
4. Colored dyes from food change the shade of the teeth over time, and they lose an attractive look.

Silicone dentures

Silicone is classified as a group of polyorganosiloxanes that are prepared by chemical transformation of polymers.Found is widely used in the dental practice of due to new properties that are not enough to create high-tech products.These include insensitivity and inertness of the material to biological and chemical substances, durability, ecological purity, high plasticity and flexibility.

Not all removable prosthesis is made of silicone, but only its base, into which teeth are inserted from ceramics or plastic.Fastening to the basic teeth occurs with the help of clasps, small and barely noticeable with visual contact.

Prosthetics with silicone are often used to restore part of a row of teeth, because because of their flexibility they can not withstand the full load on the entire jaw.

Recommended for small inserts in the front of the jaw, as they have a very aesthetic appearance.

Advantages of

1. More flexibility allows a scrupulous adjustment to the gum configuration and shortens the period of habituation.
2. Due to the complete repetition of the surface configuration, the does not fall out of the oral cavity in critical situations.
3. Does not cause allergic reactions.
4. Does not require grinding of adjacent teeth.
5. The shade is almost identical to the natural color and appearance of your own teeth, the fixing hooks are made to match the color of the gums.

Disadvantages of

1. Flexibility and elasticity of prostheses is an advantage and a disadvantage.Because of this quality, when chewing solid food, pain in the gums arises.
2. For periodic cleaning of the prosthesis you need to purchase special tools.If you use the wrong drugs, it is fraught with the appearance of an unpleasant odor and a change in shade.
3. The use of soft clamps can not completely protect the gums from injury by pressing.In this case, the gum surface becomes flattened and inflammation foci appear.
4. The inner surface of the prosthesis, turned towards the gum, is poorly cleaned due to the rough surface, which causes a bad smell.Patients' opinions say that this can be avoided, if every two months to hand over the prosthesis for treatment in the dental office.
5. The high cost of material and sophisticated manufacturing technology do not allow the mass circle of patients to use silicone prostheses.
6. The more teeth in the prosthesis, the more often it needs to be adjusted due to deformation.

Nylon dentures

Nylon is a synthetically produced polyamide that approximates the properties of a protein.As a temporary material for the basis in dental production, he interested producers in the middle of the last century, but modern quality permanent removable structures in dentistry appeared at the beginning of this century.

Nowadays, nylon dentures are increasingly used for prosthetics.Reviews of patients who have tried this material on themselves are often positive.Material in operation does not absorb the moisture of , springs the shock at impact load and returns its shape.Extremely flexible and elastic, not subject to abrasion, is not an aggressive allergen, keeps constant uniformity throughout the mass.

In general, the statement of dentists about nylon prostheses is very positive.And the patients' feedback depends on the perception and the ability to adapt to the presence of a foreign body in the mouth.

Advantages of

1. Due to its chemical properties and appearance, these designs are very close to the natural teeth of and the perfection of replacement is simply amazing.
2. Flexible and flexible clasps are used for fastening, which very softly affect the enamel of the adjacent healthy tooth and do not require their preliminary grinding.Healthy teeth retain their life, they are not required to cover them with special crowns.
3. If healthy teeth in the oral cavity are damaged by periodontal disease or are susceptible to rapid destruction, then the use of nylon prostheses is very reasonable, since they have no effect on neighboring teeth and do not shorten their life.
4. When synthesizing the nylon material, no allergenic components are used, which can not be said, for example, of acrylic dentures.
5. When wearing , there are no indications to use for fixing the glue in the form of gels, because of the almost complete repeatability of the gum surface, the issue of weak fixation disappears by itself.
6. Flexibility of prostheses does not make them less durable.Lightness allows reducing the time of adaptation to a foreign body.The service life without destruction, provided that the gingival tissue is unchanged, is up to 7 years.

Disadvantages of

1. A very careful attitude is required in the everyday care of prostheses.The use of ordinary toothpastes is not recommended because they contain abrasive particles and can eventually cover the surface of the dental product with a network of minute scratches and the appearance will be hopelessly damaged.The uniformity of the surface is disturbed, resulting in a sharp smell.This is because different food liquids start to be absorbed and a favorable environment for the settling and multiplication of bacteria appears.
2. In the molars area, the gums are often destroyed from excessive pressure.The flexible material of the prosthesis can not hold the pressure of solid food and the bone can change shape.
3. The same danger is attached to the fixing of the prosthesis using flexible hook-clasps.Small chewing pressure they withstand with dignity.But when using solid foods in food, their deflection occurs and the pressure from the prosthesis is carried out on the gum at the base of the tooth.Constantly repeated loading leads to rubbing and inflammation of the oral mucosa.
4. P When the nylon flexible prosthesis is installed, deformation of the bone occurs in the gum.This happens practically when using any kind of structure.But acrylic products have a hard base and do not sink, thus do not increase the load.Nylon dentures need to be constantly adjusted at the dentist.The sagging of nylon bases was noticed in the year by about 1 mm, therefore, the correction of the form should be carried out, on average, every three years.
5. The prosthesis subsidence is threatened because the clasps begin to cut into the periodontal tissue of the tooth and destroy it, which can cause a slight bleeding of the gums.
6. Poorly amenable to repair and polishing.When dressing on small teeth sometimes there is insufficient fixing and sometimes falling off.
