What are the clasp prostheses, patient reviews, the peculiarities of the habituation process and the advice of dentists

Removable prosthetics is the restoration of the masticatory function of several teeth or a whole series by means of a device in the oral cavity of non-static dental structures.From bridge prosthetics, it is different for a person to remove them from time to time.

Medical technologies of the modern era have stepped far ahead in the development of the technology of dental structures and, in particular, clasp prosthetics.Products for the restoration of the chewing function are made reliable, durable and have an attractive aesthetic appearance.

Materials used for structures do not have harmful effects on the human body and do not need to be permanently removed from the gums.New composite materials allow you to customize designs with very high accuracy, which saves a person from many unpleasant factors associated with wearing.

Fastening becomes more technological and qualitative.In various cases, the complexities are of great functional importance.If most of the teeth are lost, then prosthetics are used with complete removable structures.With stored 2-3 teeth, the prosthesis is held securely on them.

Often, for the fastening of in fully toothless gums, implants are implanted, and a prosthesis is already attached to them.You can make a detachable design and in case of loss of one tooth.

What are clasp prostheses?

One of the modern varieties of removable dental structures are clasp prostheses.A curved and precisely fitted base serves to uniformly transfer the load to the surface of the teeth and gums.These products are used not only for prosthetics of , but also for the treatment of periodontal disease.

The main feature distinguishing this design from the others is the arc insert of a semicircular or oval shape, it secures the two sides of the product.Due to the presence and location of the arch, prostheses can be performed by simple, complex, shiniruyuschimi, solid cast bugels.Clasp prosthetics in comparison with complete removable versions has a more convenient form of and strong fixation, which facilitates the time of habituation.

Materials for the manufacture of

Plastic

The old, tried and tested material used in dental prosthetics is plastic.This strong and light material allows you to replace a large number of lost teeth, up to a number of.

The disadvantages are:

• and because of poor suction to the gum surface, it is desirable to fix the structure on existing teeth or apply special glues based on gel;
• The hardness of the material and the uneven load on the chewing surface often cause long adaptation and various gum injuries;
• the surface of plastic is very well and durable with food coloring and, with long-term use, such prostheses lose their attractive appearance;
• promote the propagation of pathogens.

Nylon

Nylon dentures are flexible and elastic, but the hardness and strength are kept within normal limits.It's almost impossible to break them.They are attached to the gums with the help of special nylon clasps.To install such structures does not require a standard procedure for grinding the tooth , which does not lead to its further destruction, in addition, the tooth does not loosen.

Nylon is not capable of absorbing moisture, therefore, microbes and bacteria can not live in it.In appearance, the artificial teeth made of nylon are indistinguishable from the real , the lack of metal fasteners allows to smile broadly and will not give out the presence of an artificial construction in the mouth.

Nylon in its chemical composition does not contain metals, acrylic, vinyl, latex and other harmful chemical materials.Great demand is made by the latest technology, clasp prosthesis.Patients' responses in more cases are positive.

But without shortcomings it was not possible to manage.

1. It is necessary to apply a special paste for cleansing nylon prostheses, and every two months of operation should be dosed to for thorough cleaning and preventive treatment.
2. If the patient has a low bite, then under the prosthesis formed food deposits, which contribute to the reproduction of bacteria.This is due to poor chemical interaction and the connection of the prosthesis and gum.
3. If the patient has small and low teeth, the nylon denture is poorly held by and causes trouble for the person.The distribution of the load on the teeth is uneven, resting on healthy teeth is minimal.Because of this, the mucous membrane suffers and the patient often has to consult a doctor about the correction.
4. This prosthesis is practically not repairable or relocated.
5. A major drawback is the rough inner side of the structure, which requires thorough cleaning to protect against the development of gingivitis.

Preparatory measures before prosthetics

To formulate a correct idea of ​​the possibility of prosthetics, it is necessary to answer truthfully all questions of the doctor by types of diseases.For example, patients with epilepsy can only install bridge prostheses.The testimonies testify that often during their attack the prosthesis flies and can represent a mortal danger in the form of a foreign body that blocked the respiratory tract.

X-ray examination for root residues, cysts, tumors, etc. is carried out. Before the beginning of the prosthesis, all this must be cured, removed and eliminated.

The alignment of the edges of the alveolar process and the grinding of sharp denticles are performed.

Removable fitting constructions are made to determine the height of the bite and the contact of the interacting planes.

According to the method of attachment, clasp prostheses are divided into:

• reinforcement with clasps( hooks) for the lower and upper jaw.Fixing elements have spring inserts that grasp the tooth without destroying the enamel.Fastening is strong, but not always possible due to aesthetics of appearance;
• fixation on micro-locks( attachments) for single or multiple teeth.Two parts of the castle are divided, one is fixed in the crown, and the second is inside the clasp prosthesis itself.Locks are absolutely not visible during a conversation and allow a wide smile;
• on implanted implants is attached with complete loss of teeth.A dental implant( dental) is an artificially constructed tooth structure, which is often multilayered and multicomponent.Such an implant is manufactured using the latest technologies, involving implantation of the manufactured tooth into the gingival tissue of the gum and subsequent fusion of natural and artificial materials.The procedure consists of several stages, is an expensive and requires a very careful approach and preparatory work;
• telescopic crowns are used in various clinical cases.This method of fixing involves the use of two shells.One of them is fixedly fixed on the teeth, and the other( the exact copy of the first) is implanted in the clasp prosthesis and is placed on the lower one.This is a very complex prosthesis technology, but its durability beats all records.Reviews of such fasteners are only positive;
• clasp design Kvadrotti is made of metal-plastic, cermet, acetyl.Performed on the basis of a translucent material with the presence of barely visible hooks that fix the prosthesis at the base of a healthy tooth.There is good habituation to such prostheses and the absence of allergic reactions.

Procedure for the production of a clasp prosthesis

First, a trial model of the prosthesis is made using an impression that replicates the patient's bite.This is done to correctly diagnose the characteristics of the oral cavity, measuring the height of the teeth and determining the type of prosthesis.With this impression, the position of the jaw is determined in three planes.

Measuring the biting load on the teeth and determining the most contiguous and critical points.Drawing of the clasp prosthesis on the trial model is performed to reveal all design features for the manufacture and grinding of teeth on a trial duplicate.

A gypsum construction is being performed for fitting, using a previously made cast of the jaw.On the top of the fitting room, waxing is done to make the prosthesis.

A metal framework of the base is made using a wax prosthesis.This is part of the arch of the prosthesis that connects its parts to each other.The arc should be stiff and strong to properly ensure the functional load on the supporting teeth.The shape is most often applied semicircular, oval with rounded edges, so as not to cause trauma to the tongue or oral mucosa. The general rule for arches from any material is the condition of the presence of a gap between it and the gum of in size comparable to the soft tissue of the prosthetic bed.

Then set the teeth on the platen to obtain a print.After this, a wax form is directly made for casting the selected composition into the prosthesis.

Very precise and careful handling is required to avoid damaging the tender hooks.

How long will the clasp prosthesis last?

Continuous visit to the doctor's office for routine control of prostheses will help significantly prolong the life of clasp prostheses.It is determined by standard wearing without breaking and changing up to 5 years.

Adapting to a foreign body in the oral cavity

Often, patients who have installed clasp dentures complain of speech defects, hissing sounds or the inability to pronounce a few letters.Fortunately, this happens only in the first weeks of wearing a prosthesis.In the future person will learn how to cope with the new design and his speech will take the usual shade.

Discomfort experienced by the patient occurs one week after installation, salivation( if any) is discontinued on the second or third day.It is recommended in the process of getting used to to exclude from the diet hard and viscous food , while eating try to use a knife more, to refuse seeds and nuts.

In the event that more than three weeks have passed and discomfort in the mouth continues to embarrass the patient, we can talk about an improperly designed prosthesis or its inaccurate fit.In addition, allergic reactions to components of the alloy composition of the arc metal or the material of the prosthesis are possible.

Individual features of the body are different for all people.For the production of clasp prostheses, non-reactive allergies are used, but individuals may have exceptions.
