What causes missing teeth?
Eating disorder
Speech disorder
Psychological problems (loss of self-confidence, shyness, not smiling, unhappiness)
Impairment of oral health (change in position of teeth, decay and gum diseases)
Joint problems
Stomach and digestive system disorders due to chewing problems.
What happens in the area where the tooth is extracted?
What happens in the area where the tooth is extracted?
Following the tooth extraction, a melting begins in the jaw bone, which we call the alveolar bone. Although it is not a very important problem when the tooth is first extracted, in later ages, especially when the patient has to use a removable prosthesis, the lack of adequate bone support creates problems in the retention of the prosthesis.
The teeth on both sides of the toothless space tip over towards this space, increasing the distance between the teeth. cause their decrease. During this event, which occurs over many years, the parallelism of neighboring teeth is disrupted, causing loss of bones around the root and gum disease.
If the teeth in the opposite jaw do not encounter any obstacles, they extend into this space. Although the teeth seem to have grown longer, they actually cause bone loss and gum disease in the teeth, making it difficult to restore the teeth.
The jaw joint maintains its health with healthy teeth and balanced chewing. Factors such as tooth loss, not restoring them, and unilateral chewing negatively affect the chewing muscles, which causes problems such as pain and noise in the joints.
With the tipping of the teeth, food accumulates in the spaces between the teeth, which causes tooth decay. Why does it occur?
Partial (Modern) Dentures
What happens if one of the support teeth is removed in partial dentures?
It is often necessary to make a new denture. There is no. It can be easily added to areas where teeth have been extracted. However, it would be better for health to have it remade as it would disrupt the harmony of many additional dentures.
What is a precision retainer denture?
Here, the retention is on the supporting teeth rather than the clasps on the teeth. It is provided with crowns and retainers made on it. In these dentures, also known as snap-on dentures, the movable parts are connected to the fixed dentures in the mouth with special holders. Do clasps rot teeth?
Crochets do not rot teeth. The holding areas created by the clasps on the teeth cause more food accumulation. With inadequate oral hygiene, tooth decay and gum diseases occur especially in these areas. If these areas are cleaned well, such problems will not be encountered.
What is a partial (partial or modern) denture?
They are dentures that replace missing teeth and can be attached and removed by the patient. These types of prostheses are prostheses that meet chewing, speaking and aesthetic needs by getting support from the teeth in front of the toothless space, gums and jawbone.
Although these types of prostheses are called removable prostheses, well-planned and precisely made prostheses are used for chewing and aesthetic purposes in the mouth. He hardly moves during the conversation. However, they can be easily put on and removed by the patient.
In this type of prostheses, there are structures on the teeth called clasps, popularly called hooks. The main structure of the prosthesis is metal and has a very thin structure. This makes it more comfortable for the patient to use.
With new research in this field, metal-free removable prostheses can be made. The fact that they are both thin and their clasps are gum-colored allows us to achieve more aesthetic results. In addition, not using metal reduces the weight of the prosthesis and makes it more comfortable for the patient to use.
