[\/text_output][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1\/1″][text_output]Thanks to new technologies and the use of modern materials, it is now possible to conceal the absence of one or more dental elements with quality prosthesis and with a completely natural effect<\/strong>. When we speak about prosthetic rehabilitations, we can divide them into: fixed ones, usually cemented or screwed on implants; mobiles ones including dentures and removable prosthetic devices or removable partial dentures. [\/text_output][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1\/1″][text_output]<\/p>\n As there are many possible dentures, the orthodontist will evaluate the best solution to renovate the patient\u2019s smile, depending on his\/her needs. In order to have a better understanding, we will now present the main types of dentures.<\/span><\/p>\n Mobile prosthetic dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing natural teeth. This type of denture represents a more traditional and low-cost choice, usually used for elderly patients or as a temporary solution in treatment plans which require a bone regeneration. It is faster during the intervention and to create the appliance, but it has a lower comfort level compared to other possible solutions and it requires a progressive adjustment period of the mouth and the patient needs to remove it daily to perform an oral hygiene.<\/span><\/p>\n It can be:<\/p>\n [\/text_output][accordion id=”” class=”” style=””][accordion_item parent_id=”” title=”What are the disadvantages of a mobile-bearing prosthesis compared to a fixed-bearing one?” id=”” class=”” style=””]Partial prostheses linked to natural teeth can overload support teeth and make them unstable, thus facilitating dental cavities. This kind of denture is permanently screwed or cemented to teeth and implants and can be removed only by the dentist. Therefore, it does not require the patient to arrange for its removal for everyday oral hygiene, nor to pay particular attention to the food being chewed, as the chewing capacity is equal to the one of natural teeth. It can be replaced by dental crowns, dental bridges<\/strong>\u00a0screwed to implants or cemented to adjacent natural teeth, conveniently prepared and limited (reduced to fragments, they will act as natural supports for the bridge) or dental facets<\/strong>, to be considered hardly invasive aesthetic dentures.[\/text_output][accordion id=”” class=”” style=””][accordion_item parent_id=”” title=”What are the advantages of a fixed-bearing prosthesis?” id=”” class=”” style=””]It guarantees the same function of natural teeth. [\/accordion_item][accordion_item parent_id=”” title=”Fixed-bearing crowns on single teeth or implants” id=”” class=”” style=””]Single crowns are used when teeth are too damaged to be rebuilt with fillings or inlays. We use the root and the entire healthy part of the tooth emerging from the gum. In case of loss of a dental element, we make use of artificial roots called implants.
\nOur goal is to give back naturalness to our social life by guaranteeing a correct chewing and a healthy nutrition. <\/strong><\/span>If possible, when the patient does not intend to face a surgical intervention to place an implant, we will proceed with a prosthetic rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
\nIn any case, regardless of the type, dentures should respect three characteristics:<\/p>\n\n
Which denture?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n
Mobile prosthetic dentures<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
\n
\nTotal prostheses rub the mucous membrane during the normal chewing movement and therefore reabsorbe the bone and increase the necessity of continuous rebasing.
\nMobile-bearing prostheses are not advised to young people because of the severe bone reabsorption which can occur over time.
\nPartial prostheses appear mediocre due to the difficulty of concealing anchorage hooks, while total prostheses do not always result natural.[\/accordion_item][accordion_item parent_id=”” title=”Why should mobile-bearing prostheses be monitored over time?” id=”” class=”” style=””]Our face, mouth and bones change over time, thus damaging the prothesis\u00b4 aesthetics and stability.
\nIn patients who lose much weight during their life, the prosthesis seems to become out of proportion.
\nThe gradual bone reabsorption can also require constant rebasings which, in time, make the prosthesis thicker, thus limiting the ability to speak.[\/accordion_item][accordion_item parent_id=”” title=”I am an edentulous patient and my mobile-bearing prosthesis is no longer stable, what can I do?” id=”” class=”” style=””]The prosthesis’ stability can be improved with a mini-invasive intervention using two-three implants, which can also be done in elderly patients
\nImplants can be immediately used and are linked to the prosthesis with automatic buttons.
\nWe are often able to reuse our old prosthesis.
\nShould the mobile-bearing prosthesis represent a problem in your social life, then you will be able to change to a completely fixed-bearing Mogul one.[\/accordion_item][\/accordion][text_output]<\/p>\nFixed prosthetic dentures<\/span><\/h4>\n
\nEven in the case of fixed dental prostheses we talk about:<\/p>\n\n
\nIn some rare cases, in order to restore a missing tooth, we have to proceed with a dental bridge, by refining its neighboring teeth.[\/accordion_item][accordion_item parent_id=”” title=”Dental bridges or crowns” id=”” class=”” style=””]Dental bridges are those structures which link one or more teeth with one another in order to repristinate missing teeth.
\nBlockades are bridges between neighboring teeth.
\nBridges on natural teeth are less and less frequent because it is preferable to restore the empty space with one or more single tooth implants, as to repristinate normal dentition.
\nWe talk about bridges when we join two or more implants far from each other.[\/accordion_item][accordion_item parent_id=”” title=”Are crowns screwed or cemented to implants?” id=”” class=”” style=””]In the Vignato Dental Clinic, crowns and bridges are always screwed to implants.
\nThe reason is simple: they are easy to remove and clean.
\nIn some cases, however, anterior teeth must be cemented to implants.[\/accordion_item][\/accordion][text_output]<\/p>\nProsthetic dentures on implants<\/span><\/h4>\n
