Prosthetics of anterior teeth: before and after photos

To lose the front teeth to each person is a tragedy that causes uncertainty, discomfort, sometimes deep depression.Experts argue that the reconstruction of hard dental tissues, taking into account the phonetic features of speech, aesthetic requirements is a complex procedure.

Description of the procedure

If the front teeth can not be reconstructed with filling materials, or with veneers, modern patient dental knives offer a choice of patients with crowns that have high aesthetic properties and functionality.And in the absence of two and a number of units, bridge prostheses are used.

Dentists in the process of prosthetics try to solve the main tasks, like:

recovery of chewing functions;
restoring aesthetic appeal.

The front teeth, which are considered the calling card of any person, deserve much attention.Often, procedures are performed to improve cosmetic properties, such as defects, color, and form.For aesthetic appeal, specialists comply with the requirements for transparency, reflective ability, and forms.An important point in the procedure is that in the future they are not exposed to disease.

Prosthetics of the anterior superior teeth: before and after

The most popular prosthetic designs today include cermet, nonmetallic, veneers, implants, prostheses, varieties of which can be seen in the photo( above) before and after anterior teeth prosthetics.

Cermet crowns for front teeth

A cermet crown placed on the front units is one of the types of dentures.

The aesthetic product completely replaces the natural front units.

Indications

Let us consider in more detail the indications for prosthetics of the anterior lower teeth.

Anterior teeth recovered by crowns or dentures have such indications:

chips, cracks, other problems;
caries in which restoration is necessary;
marked erasure of the enamel;
absence of one or more units;
problems caused by improper prosthetics, or incorrect bite;
for improving aesthetic performance.

Crowns made of cermet and ceramic have specific requirements for use.First of all, this refers to strength, aesthetics, which is very necessary for chewing and anterior teeth.In particular, prosthetics of lower teeth with cermets in one bridge allows to restore several units, which is not typical for other prosthetic structures.Yellow or steel crowns in the absence of wishes for aesthetics by the patient are practically not restored and attributed to rare methods.

If chewing units are not available, it is better to install crowns from cermets.Single designs can be placed in cases of preserved root or on implants.When the root is preserved, it should be treated, and then partially restore the crown part and hold the fixation.The crown part can be restored by a pin with a turn of the stump for a strong fastening of the crown or with the aid of a cult insert.Pins and inlays are made of metal.

It should be noted that prosthetics on implants excludes preparation of adjacent teeth.

Contraindications

Contraindications to prosthetics of the front teeth are more related to cermets because of the metal content in it.Metal-free prosthetics of contraindications practically does not.So in some patients there may be an allergic reaction to the metal base of the structure, but basically it is made of a metal alloy.This material has no oxidative reaction, does not rust and is considered bio-inert.

If an allergy occurs, prosthetics should be performed with structures containing zirconium or gold.

After installation, the following problems may occur:

a bluish appearance in the gingival margin through time or immediately after installation, which is caused by the base;
metal-ceramic structures in a single unit may differ from natural ones, but in the bridge there is no such problem.

Advantages of metal-ceramic and metal-free crowns

Progressive technologies allow making prostheses on the front teeth of the upper and lower rows, which do not differ from natural teeth at all. The main advantages are:

, thanks to the materials, excellent aesthetic properties are achieved;

Metal-ceramic crowns have excellent aesthetic properties
strength, durability;
withstand high loads;
no different damage;
is a democratic value that is available to many patients;
preserves shine for a long time;
resistance to food;
no abrasion in the process of eating;
easy care.

The life of crowns can be more than fifteen years with hygiene.The process of prosthetics for the two missing anterior teeth with cermets is used, if there are small defects.Achievement of a high splinting, functional and aesthetic effect is achieved using a clasp prosthesis in the molar and premolar area.It should be noted, and some disadvantages in the installation of metal-ceramic crowns, as a strong grinding of hard tissue up to 2 mm from each side.Dental pulping is also performed as a necessary procedure in a number of cases.

Improper performance of the work can damage the pulp, which leads in the future to the occurrence of inflammatory processes and the continuation of treatment with a new prosthesis.

Metal-free crowns are made of high-strength ceramics and are considered one of the best types of prosthetics for the front teeth.They are characterized by high aesthetic values, they do not chip or stand out in time, they are easily chosen by color, and also have a long service life.But their cost exceeds metal-ceramic constructions in two or three times.

Preparation of

Preliminary patients are examined oral cavity with the performance of X-rays.After this, if necessary, treatment is carried out.

Seals are checked for installation quality if they are unsatisfactory, channels are cleaned and re-sealed.

Installation of

The installation process involves turning with the step for the support of the crown.

Installation of the bridge

After that, the impression is taken from the jaw and sent to the laboratory where the crown or bridge will be made.At the time of making the designs, patients on the turned teeth are placed temporary prostheses to protect naked tissue and restore aesthetics.During the initial readiness of the uncoated crown, a fitting is used for making changes, correcting the shapes, selecting the color, and then coating the structure with glaze.The crown is fixed to the tooth with dental cement.
