Removable prosthetics

Prosthetic dentistry is an independent branch of dentistry, which arose at the end of the XIX century. The aims and objectives of prosthetic dentistry are to restore the integrity of teeth and dentition. Dentist-orthopedist carries out prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment of defects of the dentition and individual teeth.

Tasks that solves the prosthodontist:

restoration of dental hard tissues;
restoration of teeth at dental abrasion;
prosthetics in the absence of teeth;
treatment of temporomandibular joint diseases.

During the visit, the prosthodontist of “PRIZMA” dentistry in Kiev performs therapeutic and preventive measures. After consulting with related experts and providing additional diagnostic methods, he will compile a detailed treatment plan, according to which he can determine the cost of work and treatment duration.

Prosthetic dentistry closely cooperates with orthopedic therapy, since in a complex treatment it is important to prevent the development of deformities and carry out a full range of modern diagnostic measures. Modern techniques and technologies allow dentists in a short time develop an individual treatment plan, taking into account the state of patient’s teeth.

Dental prosthetics

Prosthetic dentistryis the restoration of damaged or lost teeth. In modern dental practice dental prosthetics is divided into three types:

↓ Removable.

Indications for teeth prosthetic:

expressed dentition defects;
abnormal abrasion of tooth enamel or the whole tooth.

Removable prosthetics

Removable prosthetics is necessary in cases where there is no possibility for the construction and establishment of permanent implant. Such prostheses are easy to care for — they can be removed and cleaned. The only problem is constant use of special fixing creams. There is also a removable partial prosthetics, which is recommended if the teeth are present, but chewing with them is difficult or impossible, or it is impossible to establish fixed structure due to a large gap between the teeth.

Non-removable prosthetics

Fixed prosthetics is used to restore several teeth in a row or a single tooth. Modern fixed constructions include different crowns, veneers, and inlays. Bridgework is installed to restore the dentition or eliminate major defects.

Prosthetics with implants

It is used for partial or total loss of teeth. The main advantage of this type of prosthesis is that during the installation the implant the other teeth are not injured. The implant replaces the tooth root and prevents atrophy of bone tissue. This type of prosthesis is unique and used materials with a high degree of engraftment.

Problems and solutions

In prosthetic dentistry there are a number of problems, which successfully solve our experts.

Diseases of hard tissues and teeth abrasion

Such diseases include wedge-shaped defects, fluorosis, caries, traumatic injuries, hypoplasia, and abnormal abrasion.

Teeth defects violate not only the aesthetic appearance, but also affect facial expression and sometimes lead to speech disorders. In case of crown defects, there may be formed sharp edges, constantly injured mucosa and tongue, impairing the chewing function.

Decision. Depending on the degree of destruction, prosthodontist uses various solutions of the problem. In the event when a half of the tooth is destroyed, but adjacent teeth are healthy, it is recommended a recovery operation using ceramic inlays. They are strong, durable, have excellent physical and mechanical properties. If the tooth is more than a half destroyed, it can be covered by a crown. The tooth enamel is milled and covered with a frame that restores the shape and size of the tooth.

Missing teeth

Full or partial absence of teeth (edentia) is a serious problem and requires prompt solution. Restoration of masticatory function and aesthetic appearance is the main task of orthopedic dentist. Partial or secondary edentia occurs with 50-70% of people and 25% of people older than 60 years.

Tooth loss may occur as the result of periodontitis, pulpitis, deep caries, abscess, trauma, removal of teeth and roots, etc.

Decision. Prosthetic dentistry solves the problem of edentulous by using prosthetics, which is divided into two types – removable prosthetics and implant prosthetics. The latter, in its turn, is divided into removable and non-removable. During a visit, the doctor will determine what type of prosthesis is appropriate in a particular case.

Diseases of the temporomandibular joint

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the human body. Its functions are responsible for the movement of the lower jaw from side to side and back and forth. Problems, disrupting the system, are known as TMJ dysfunction. The patient thus can experience headaches, pain when yawning and chewing; the opening and closing of the mouth may be accompanied with snapping or clicking sound, the crunch of jaws.

Decision. TMJ treatment includes advanced diagnostics, allowing making accurate diagnosis. If possible, the dentist applies a conservative orthopedic treatment, which involves the removal of swelling and pain, making a special bus or mouth guard. Further, the patient will be under dynamic observation. If conservative treatment does not bring positive results, we resort to reconstructive treatment. Surgery is assigned in extreme cases.
