Removable dental prosthesis on the upper jaw: partial, full, photo

Loss of one or more teeth affects negatively both appearance and health of a person.Some people restore them with crowns, bridges, and someone chooses orthopedic structures removable, or not removable.They are effective in the complete absence of teeth on the jaw.Often used instead of a bridge, can replace one unit, a whole series.They are used both permanently and temporarily to give aesthetics when it is not possible to install a permanent prosthesis, for example, on implants.

Features

The popularity of a removable dental prosthesis on the upper jaw today takes the same positions as many years ago.Only they have become more sophisticated, attractive, easy to use.

Complete removable prosthesis on the upper jaw( in the absence of all teeth)

• installation is not complicated enoughBecause there is a large space for the basic support in the upper jaw;
• fixing is performed without any problems, since there is an additional reference point;
• comfort, convenience in use;
• full-fledged provision of basic functions, if the units are completely lost;
• complete prosthesis is securely fixed, which ensures the presence of a large valve area;
• , in the process of using partial views of the supporting teeth, uniformly chewing loads with low pressure arrive;
• food intake is not accompanied by a shift;
• high aesthetic properties.

Prostheses have a simple manufacturing process.At the preliminary stage, an X-ray is performed, after which a cast of the jaw is made and sent to the laboratory.

Types of removable prosthesis on the upper jaw

When you go to the clinic, many patients ask themselves: what are the removable dentures on the upper jaw and what qualities do they have?Modern dentistry offers a large selection of products, but they are all selected according to the individual characteristics of patients. Removable products are divided into the following types:

• , with complete loss of dental units, complete removable mechanisms are used;
• partially - removable, which include lamellar, clasp, etc.;
• conditionally removable( permanent, temporary).

Conditioned removable prosthesis

The support of a partially removable prosthesis on the upper jaw is attached to the palate and the gums.At full loss, they are fixed in the mouth by sticking to the gums, or by sucking.By the area of ​​the base, the prosthesis is large.In order for the structure to be securely fastened, the fixation must secure the sky firmly when fixing.

The types of products differ also in materials.Plate prostheses are made of acrylic plastic and nylon, which is used less often due to high flexibility.

Acrylic or nylon products have clasps covering the front teeth and fixing the prosthesis in the mouth.In the absence of one or two units in a row, such types of construction as "butterfly" are used.Unlike acrylic, nylon fastening has more aesthetic characteristics, but does not allow full-value food, there is no addiction to them.

To physiological structures include clasp prosthesis, which is able to distribute evenly the load in the process of chewing between the gum and teeth.The basis is a metal arc with artificial teeth.They have inherent characteristics of lightness, strength, relatively small size of the area in the oral cavity.An arc-shaped plate is located in the dome of the sky.

The production of the arc of the clasp mechanism is performed with the use of medical alloys, and if necessary or the desire of patients, can be made using precious metal.Temporary clamps can be made with special polymers.The installation of a partial removable prosthesis on the upper jaw in the photo is presented in two versions of artificial teeth made of ceramics and composites.

Milled jaw for the upper jaw

The fastening is carried out using clasps - branches of the metal frame, but this is considered the main drawback, as with a smile you can see.If the fixation is carried out by attachments( virokamzki), then aesthetic indicators will be higher due to their lack of visibility.Crowns are worn on the supporting tooth, and attachment elements are mounted in a removable structure and fixed with the connection and snapping.

To restore half of the jaw of the teeth, sectors or removable segments used for temporary prosthetics for the duration of the permanent prosthesis are used.They are rarely used and are installed by clasps on one side of the jaw.

To conditional partial - removable prostheses on the upper jaw are the designs on implants, manufactured in the case of complete absence of units.They are used for qualitative fixation in the oral cavity, called a covering structure.

What are the indications for the installation of

For the loss of dental units on the upper jaw, the complete removable denture

is installed with:

• partial injury, loss;
• in the presence of a terminal defect;
• need strengthening teeth that are prone to periodontal disease;
• impossibility of installing a permanent prosthesis.

Fixing options

Dental prostheses differ in structures, materials, types of fasteners.The frequently used, reliable attachments include:

• lock;
• beam;
• application of intracanal implants.

The lock mount represents a button structure where globular locks are screwed into implants implanted in the jaw bone.The removable mechanisms contain silicone matrices that are inserted into the recess.Reliable fixation of the prosthesis is achieved by the entry of the jaw locks into the matrix.

The beam fixture is carried out by means of implanted implants in the jaw, between which a beam with depressions is laid.They place silicone matrices, embracing the beam during the donning of the prosthesis, firmly fixed in the oral cavity.

Fixing of the prosthesis

Fixation on the intracanal implants represents the process of cutting at the root of the preserved tooth, and then the root canal is sealed.After this, an implant with a metal head implanted into it, inside of which there is a depression.It is inserted into the silicone matrix for reliable fixation.Bone tissue is not subject to atrophic changes due to a living root, which significantly increases the operation of the prosthesis.

In order to determine the design of a removable prosthesis on the upper jaw and which material is better for patients' feedback, it is important to consult competent specialists who, according to the state of the mouth, the patient's budget will offer acceptable options.The most expensive structures include prosthesis made of precious metals, alloys, as well as composite, ceramic.

But it is worth considering that in the matter of health preservation, attractive appearance, where the human teeth play a very important role, the savings are not entirely appropriate.After all, the state of the oral cavity directly depends on the health of the body.

Before installing the prosthesis, you should contact a competent specialist who, according to the state of the mouth and the patient's budget, will offer acceptable options for

. And wondering how much a removable prosthesis is required for the upper jaw, it is better to ask the clinic where the prosthesis will be performed.The cost of the prosthesis, as a rule, includes not only the design itself, the number of units, the material used, but also the work of several specialists, like the dentist, dental technician, orthodontist, surgeon.The high cost of prostheses in proven prosthetics is due to the high quality of work, the durability of the design, the warranty period.
