Dentures care and behavior

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

Dentures healthThe loss of teeth usually is treated with dentures and the people, which are having such problems should quickly consult with dentist and doctors. Definitely the dentures care is quite complicated and there is certain mode and behavior of the patients wearing removable dentures.
First, the dentures cause a complains from sense nausea and vomiting. This is usually called “vomiting reflex” and is only the first trouble, which the patient with removable dentures should overcome. Usually this sense is only for a couple of minutes or hours and can be overcome with deeply breathing through your nose and avoid conversation in the first hours after placing the dentures. Also the large salivation is frequently met after placement of removable dentures. This is caused by the foreign body in the mouth, but the organism quickly adapt to the presence of dentures in the mouth. The saliva is normalizing in the first hours of putting the removable dentures, so the patient will adapt to the dentures up to a day.
The embarrassed speech is part from having a removable dentures. This is another feature, which the patient should adapt to. The problem is usually normalizing for a couple of days and the process can be speed up by reading aloud. Once the patient adapt to the dentures the speech is normalizing and the patient will have the normal comfortability. Of course the main problem of the dentures is the nutrition. On the first days of having a removable dentures, the patient has pretty bad nutrition and cannot adapt to the foreign body in the mouth. So it is recommended for one week, the patient to remove the dentures and to eat without them. The full adapting to this is really heavy process and the patient needs of about 3-4 mouth for fully adaption with the dentures and feed with no problem.

Dentures for loss of teeth

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

Denture careDefinitely the dental health should be really well-groomed, because the diseases in the mouth and quickly growing and they can lead to loss of teeth. The loss of many or even all teeth requires the creation of partial or complete dentures. This sometimes causes problems for the patient, but if they are not created on time, the chewing is getting worse and this leads to more serious problems and even stomach infections. The malnutrition reduces the body’s natural defenses and leads to many diseases, which can harm seriously the health of the organism. It is highly important to be kept the masticatory function of the teeth and to be corrected the aesthetic disturbances of the mouth. Definitely the loss of teeth can seriously and fast harm the whole health of the body. The treatment of loss of teeth is done by creation of mobile prosthetic constructions. Also we should be aware that if you wait longer, the risk of vestigial of alveolar bone is increasing. This makes the creation of dentures harder and increases the problems for the mouth health. Even there is a possibility to reach the point, where the bone is completely melted and the keeping of the dentures very complicated. The only option for normal retention of the dentures in such cases are the implants, which are quite more uncomfortable and more expensive for the patient.

Amalgam

AmalgamAmalgam of its hardness is first among other materials. It reaches the most accurate hardness of enamel, although today there are some composite systems are also much closer to those values. The amalgam is not toxic to the dental pulp. Some materials (such as silicate cements.) Operate toxic pulp. Also good advantage is the low price. With its superior durability amalgam other materials nearly doubled. It is stable with large carious defects. When it is necessary to develop large obturation (filling) amalgam tightly seal the defect and prevents the development of secondary caries. Composite fillings have a polymer shrinking, which is greater, the greater the damage. This shrinkage often causes detachment of filling the walls of the tooth and favors the development of secondary caries.

Denture prosthesis

denturesIs it correct to assume that because there are 32 teeth in the mouth we can live without any of them? And you let them hurt and destroy, while the pliers remain the only solution?
Tooth disease begins before the first black spot on its surface. It starts subsurface – with extraction of minerals from the enamel due to increased acidity in the mouth. Acidification usually occurs after meals, but after taking acid products – citrus fruits, juices, sodas and more.
It should be borne in mind that tooth extraction and subsequent surgery goes triple and four times more expensive than cure the patient tooth. Nothing is more valuable than natural teeth! Therefore, you should use every opportunity to preserve the tooth.
However, when tooth extraction is the only alternative for treatment, then come to the aid prosthesis construction. Depending on the number and position of teeth removed resort to removable dentures or fixed structures (bridges, crowns …)

Dental Implants

Teeth healthThe implantation is one way by which the problem is solved at the loss of permanent teeth. Surgically implant is placed in the socket of a patient previously ejected natural teeth or artificial socket which is created immediately before the procedure. Placed on the implants and artificial prosthetic superstructure construction – crown, bridge, prosthesis.
Application of the implants:
1) for reconstruction of defects in the absence of single teeth
2) reconstruction of defects in the loss of more than Eddie tooth, which can happen with or without the participation of the mainstays – natural teeth.
3) implant-prosthetic restoration of the toothless upper or lower jaw (or both).
