With the loss of a tooth, the integrity of the dentition is disturbed and this phenomenon is unpleasant not only by a violation of the aesthetics of a smile, but also by the emergence of a number of serious problems with the general health of the body. The consequences of adentia, which is not eliminated in a timely manner by prosthetics, can be as follows:

Gradual displacement of adjacent dental units in a row, leading to their deformation;
Excessive stress on the teeth, leading to their rapid destruction;
Increased risks of developing various diseases of the gums, periodontal disease;
A single adentia is also capable of provoking the appearance of malocclusion.

The loss of even one tooth in a row disrupts the correctness of the processes of chewing food, and this can lead to disturbances in the activity of the digestive tract, against the background of this phenomenon, various chronic pathologies are actively developing, the treatment of which can be a long and difficult process.

For these reasons, a dentist should be contacted for dental prosthetics not only when there has been a loss of a tooth entering the smile zone, but also in the event of a loss of the chewing unit.

Missing teeth and quality of life

If a person does not have front teeth, this, of course, distorts his natural smile. Such people are perceived by society as inferior, dysfunctional. In addition to the social problem, there is also a medical one: any unit of the dentition is a support for the rest.

The loss of at least one tooth is fraught with the displacement of the entire row towards the removed unit, this is necessary for a more even distribution of the load during chewing. The consequence of such an abnormal process is gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), a change in bite.

Modern advances in the field of dentistry make it possible to create dentures and implants that visually practically do not differ from natural units.

The situation with the loss of chewing teeth is even more difficult: they are “responsible” for grinding, and, therefore, the subsequent processing of food. Over time, this leads to significant digestive problems.

Timely installed crowns, inlays, veneers can save the affected dental unit. With the loss of 3-4 teeth, the installation of fixed dentures will already be required. Such constructions serve for a long time and look almost like natural teeth.

Important! The onset of destruction of at least one tooth requires urgent medical measures.

What is meant by tooth augmentation?

If only the root is left of the decayed tooth, a build-up method is used, which involves the layer-by-layer application of a composite material of different transparency from the base of the damaged dental unit, followed by grinding and polishing (for more details in the article: how is the root of a tooth removed if the tooth itself is no longer there?). This method of restoration allows you to give the crown the shape and maximum naturalness of the tooth.

Along with this, a heliocomposite is used for the artistic restoration of a decayed tooth. This method is used when a tooth breaks off at the very root (see also: How many roots do teeth have?). In this case, a pin is installed in the canal, around which a special material is applied and the required shape of the lost part of the tooth is formed.

Why it is imperative to restore teeth

Many people wonder how to hide the absence of the front tooth, but when the chewing tooth disappears, not everyone immediately strives to visit the dentist. What for? He is invisible when talking and smiling. Is that so? However, to think in this way is fundamentally wrong. Any element of the row bears a certain load and is responsible for the functionality of the maxillofacial apparatus as a whole. When a person has all whole and healthy teeth, then this is, first of all, an indicator of health, and only then aesthetics.

Therefore, in the absence of even one element of the row, you need to think not only about how to hide this fact from others, but also about how to restore the defect for the correct functioning of the entire jaw system and in order to prevent serious health problems. Remember that everything starts small. Without timely prosthetics of one unit, you run the risk of getting the following problems:

pain and discomfort when chewing food: because of this, you begin to give preference to soft foods or those that you can eat (while imposing a taboo on your favorite dishes),
the impossibility of high-quality processing of food in the oral cavity: once in the stomach in an insufficiently chewed form, it is poorly absorbed, causing pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract,
asymmetry of the face: this process occurs gradually. So, at first, you chew mainly on one side of the jaw, where it is more convenient for you. Then muscle memory turns on, leading to deformations and disruption of not only the aesthetics of the smile, but also of the face, to early aging, the appearance of wrinkles,
early loss of other teeth: if you do not rush to prosthetics one lost unit, then the load intended for it begins to be distributed between the “neighbors”. Plus, they tend to take an empty space, they bend over, they can start to stagger, collapse, and in the end you will simply lose them,
atrophy of bone structures: the tissues in the area of the defect gradually become thinner, because they do not have the necessary load, they stop receiving nutrition. By postponing the moment of prosthetics, you run the risk of facing difficulties in the future, when not all possible methods of treatment are suitable, but only a few.

Causes of caries

There have been cultures all over the world that had perfect teeth despite no dentistry or modern toothpaste, while similar cultures with the wrong diet had very high rates of tooth decay.

As a result of the research, it has been found that the structure of the teeth is determined during the growth of a child, and that poorly formed teeth are more prone to decay.

All doctors in this research group have come to the same conclusion after years of research: the structure and health of teeth is largely determined by diet, especially three main factors:

The presence of a sufficient amount of minerals in the diet.
The presence in the diet of a sufficient amount of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K).
How bioavailable these nutrients are and how well the body absorbs them. They found that this is highly dependent on the presence of phytic acid in the diet and the amount of sugar consumed.

Tooth enamel is composed of calcium and phosphorus. When these minerals are in short supply, the enamel becomes thin and weak.

Tooth decay also occurs when foods that contain carbohydrates (sugars and starches), such as milk, raisins, cakes or candy, are often left on the teeth.

The bacteria that live in the mouth thrive on these foods, producing acids as a result.

Over time, these acids erode tooth enamel, leading to tooth decay.

Saliva acts as a neutralizer against phytic acid and helps to strengthen and remineralize teeth.

Thinning and erosion of enamel is possible when remineralization does not occur quickly enough. It can be caused by poor diet or high carbohydrate diet.

Sour drinks and even lemon water are also bad for your tooth enamel.

The main causes of caries are:

Lack of minerals in the diet: calcium deficiency, magnesium deficiency and phosphorus deficiency
Lack of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K, especially vitamin D deficiency)
Consuming too much phytic acid-rich foods
Consuming too much processed sugar

In order for a tooth to become susceptible to the development of caries, plaque must form on its surface. It is food for harmful bacteria.

Harmful bacteria, for example, don’t like broccoli, but they do like simple carbs and sugars.

Therefore, if you do not change your diet, no amount of brushing your teeth will help you defeat bacteria.

Have you ever thought about why animals do not brush their teeth, but they remain healthy?

The diet should be comprised of healthy fats and plenty of non-starchy vegetables to completely prevent cavity formation and maintain tooth remineralization at all times.

Fiberglass

This material has been used in dental practice relatively recently. With the help of fiberglass, a decayed tooth can be restored and strengthened. It is completely safe for the human body, and its characteristics are not inferior to other materials.

Fiberglass is characterized by strength, durability and high aesthetic performance.

Should decayed teeth be preserved?

When a small piece breaks off from a tooth or when a crack appears on it, it should of course be restored. But if there is more serious damage, one should think about the need to restore this organ.

Recovery with composites and tabs is safe enough. The enamel is slightly processed during their installation. Having removed them, the patient can continue his usual life activities. What cannot be said about the use of veneers Removing them makes the teeth vulnerable, because there is no protection, the enamel and the ceramic plate are absent. The tooth will become as sensitive as possible to any irritants. Its appearance will also suffer greatly. In addition, in order to replace veneers, teeth are ground again each time, which eventually leads to their thinning, making them unusable and requiring to hide the defect with crowns.

And crowns are already a denture, not restoring, but replacing a tooth. Crowns are strong enough and will last much longer than veneers. Also, their use will be more profitable in relation to cost.

Therefore, it is important to think about the use of ceramic plates.

What kind of crown is better to put in case of a defect in the smile zone?

all-ceramic,
from zirconium dioxide.

It is worth giving preference to structures made of these materials only because they look very aesthetically pleasing and exactly imitate the color and shine of natural enamel. They do not lend themselves to pigmentation from food, and with good hygienic care, they retain their excellent appearance for many years of use. By the way, the service life of zirconia crowns is simply impressive – from 15 years or more.

But it is better not to choose cermets for the front teeth. First, the metal will show through the top layer of the ceramic. Secondly, the metal, interacting with saliva, oxidizes over time, so an unpleasant bluish tint will soon appear on the border of the crown and mucosa.

You need to understand that a front tooth can break in different ways. If the scale of the problem is insignificant, for example, only the enamel has chipped off, then doctors may suggest hiding the defect with the help of overlays on the teeth – veneers or lumineers. Or to carry out artistic extension. But sometimes the situation requires removal, for example, if a longitudinal or oblique fracture / crack or suppuration at the root appears as a result of an injury. And then the recovery options will be completely different – you will need to put a crown with a post / stump tab, or even carry out implantation.

Conditions necessary for the restoration of a decayed tooth from the root

Mainly teeth with a removed nerve are destroyed (see also: how and where to remove a nerve in a tooth?). Without the necessary nutrition, the enamel walls become thinner and split off at the slightest mechanical stress. It is impossible to restore a tooth in such a situation by filling, therefore, augmentation and prosthetics are used. The choice depends on the degree of tooth decay.

If a tooth has fallen apart, you need to see a dentist as soon as possible, as the delay can make it impossible to restore it.

If the patient does not have the material resources to grow the tooth, the doctor will temporarily place a filling to prevent further destruction and, thus, will give a kind of delay until the moment of restoration.

It is possible to restore a damaged tooth in the presence of a root in the following cases:

Correct bite. With an incorrect bite, the load during chewing is unevenly distributed, as a result of which the restored dental unit may collapse.
The height of the area below the gum should not be less than the height of the crown of the tooth. If the root length is insufficient, the strength of the restored unit will not be achieved. The thickness of the enamel walls is at least 1 mm.
Lack of dental diseases. The roots and surrounding tissues must be healthy, otherwise the restoration of the tooth will be painful and impractical.
Satisfactory condition of the patient’s body. In the presence of pathologies of the circulatory and nervous system, tuberculosis, oncology, mental disorders, dental restoration procedures are contraindicated.
No bad habits. If the patient is accustomed to gnawing the shells of nuts with his teeth or opening bottles, the restoration of the destroyed unit is meaningless – there is a high probability of repeated damage.
Involuntary teeth grinding in sleep (for more details, see the article: Why do people sometimes grind their teeth in their sleep?). Bruxism is the cause of worn teeth and the occurrence of pathology of the jaw joints, therefore, after restoration, the integrity of the artificial dental unit will be violated again.

How to restore teeth at home

1. First of all, it is necessary to reconsider nutrition. This means you need to eliminate foods that promote tooth decay (mainly sugars and carbohydrates), but you also need to include in your diet the right foods that prevent tooth decay and support remineralization.

Foods high in phosphorus

Almond
Broccoli
Brown rice
Eggs
Beans
Potatoes
Raw dairy products
Sunflower seeds
White beans

Foods high in calcium

Almond
Broccoli
Cabbage
Kefir (yogurt)
Raw dairy products
Watercress

At the same time, the body needs to get enough fat-soluble vitamins – these include vitamins A, D, E and K.

The foods you eat should contain enough minerals, especially calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.

2. Reduce your intake of phytic acid.

Phytic Acid – Blocks minerals and inhibits enzymes found in grains, nuts, seeds, and beans that can cause serious health problems.

The body naturally converts phytic acid into phytates, which are not absorbed and absorb calcium from the body.

In the long term, when the diet is lacking in minerals or high in phytates, or both, metabolism decreases and the body goes into a mineral starvation regime.

In a diet rich in phytates, bones will grow poorly, short stature, rickets, narrow jaws, teeth will decay, anemia and mental retardation may develop.

Why you ask, our grandmothers ate cereals and had healthy teeth?

The thing is that the method of cooking was different than now, namely, they were engaged in germination and fermentation, all these cooking methods kill phytic acid.

As you can imagine, a diet high in phytic acid creates mineral deficiencies and causes osteoporosis.

About 80% of the phosphorus in grains and beans is associated with phytic acid, so it is not fully absorbed.

Phytates also make minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc unavailable for absorption.

Consuming foods high in phytic acid reduces the absorption of magnesium by 60% and zinc by 20%.

Phytic acid not only prevents the absorption of minerals in food, but it also flushes minerals out of the body, bones and teeth!

Phytic acid also causes indigestion and lack of appetite.

Phytic acid is much higher in products grown using modern high-phosphate fertilizers than in products grown in their own garden.

If you soak grains or nuts and then sprout or ferment them, you can reduce the amount of phytic acid by about 50 to 100 percent.

Foods high in phytic acid: brown rice, wheat and rye bran, rice bran, whole wheat flour, wheat germ and sprouts, oatmeal, rye, millet, white rice, pearl barley, pecan, macademia, pistachios, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, lentils, chickpeas, beans, peas.

In order to reduce the phytic acid content, up to 90%, the following methods are used:

Soak. Cereals and legumes are often soaked in water overnight to reduce their phytate content.

Germination. In seeds, grains and legumes, phytate levels are reduced during germination.

Fermentation. Organic acids from the fermentation process contribute to the reduction of phytates. Lactic acid fermentation is the preferred method.

3 Use remineralizing toothpaste instead of regular toothpaste

Most common toothpastes cause more problems than they solve. It is even better to brush your teeth simply with a toothbrush, without toothpaste, than to use toothpastes with harmful chemical compounds.

Or use a natural toothpaste that supports teeth remineralization.

4 Avoid fluoride

Fluoride is found in soil, water, food, toothpaste, tap water. It is believed to help prevent tooth decay, but countries with fluoridated water have the same incidence of tooth decay as other countries.

It weakens bones, causes arthritis, is toxic to the thyroid gland, accelerates female puberty, reduces fertility, damages the kidneys, cardiovascular system, and lowers the level of intelligence.

5 Don’t go overboard with brushing your teeth. Many people like to brush their teeth too hard or use toothbrushes with very stiff bristles.

The problem is that your teeth are quite sensitive and you wear away the enamel faster than your teeth can restore it.

6 Hormonal imbalance

If you follow all of the above recommendations, but tooth decay nevertheless reoccurs, the cause may be hormones.

7 Add vitamin D

Sunbathe. The main sources of vitamin: raw egg yolk, dairy products, natural cheese (cottage cheese), natural butter, fish liver, seafood.

Include fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K2 in your diet. These vitamins will help the body absorb minerals.

8. For the absorption of nutrients, it is necessary to maintain a healthy digestive tract.

9. Avoid getting glycerin into the mouth. Glycerin creates a shell on the teeth, thereby complicating the process of remineralization (saturation of the tooth enamel with minerals).

10. Brush your teeth once a day with activated charcoal, it helps to draw out toxins.

How are problems solved?

List of dental diseases

Until recently, this method of helping people who, for one reason or another, were left without natural teeth, was associated with a whole list of contraindications, side effects and other restrictions. Fortunately, today, implantation has become more affordable and effective.

The main condition that guarantees the success of the operation is the presence of the bone of the required thickness and density. It is these indicators that are responsible for both the endurance of the implant and the functional load that will fall on the bone.

Life without teeth is a thing of the past long ago. In the modern world, in the absence of contraindications for implantation in the patient and strict adherence to the rules for caring for the oral cavity, the artificial dentition “takes root” almost perfectly.

The loss of at least one tooth turns into a lot of problems for a person: displacement of other units towards the empty hole, impaired chewing functions, inflammatory processes in the oral cavity

Prosthetics options

Modern dentistry is ready to offer patients a variety of effective options for solving the problem of missing a tooth in a row. You can choose not only a specific prosthetics technique, but also the material and type of prosthesis. A certain type of prosthetics is selected taking into account the following factors:

Tooth positions in a row;
The duration of the defect;
Condition of adjacent teeth and the oral cavity as a whole;
The financial capacity of the patient.

The choice of the prosthetics technique and the type of prosthesis that will be used to restore the lost dental unit is carried out by the doctor, after examining the patient and performing a number of diagnostic measures. With a single edentulousness, the specialist can offer the patient the following prosthetics options: implantation, prosthetics using a bridge or removable prosthesis.

How does the post build-up work?

First of all, the doctor prepares the root canals for the post placement. He cleans and processes them with special tools.
A pin is inserted into the prepared canal. The design enters directly into the bone
Then the doctor fills the canals, fixing the structure
He puts a crown on the reinforced post or fills the tooth with a composite material

Installation of veneers or lumineers: a modern approach to dental restoration

To obtain a beautiful smile, dental restoration with veneers has been increasingly used in recent years. Veneers are thin lamellas that exactly follow the front surface of the tooth and cover the incisal edge (for better attachment and a more aesthetic look).

The indications for the installation of veneers are:

persistent discoloration of the enamel;
cracks, chipped teeth;
minor violations of the situation;
restoration of the gap between the teeth.

Compared to artistic restoration, veneers look very natural, especially when working on a group of teeth. They do not darken or wear off. Unlike crowns, onlays do not require large amounts of dental tissue to be removed.

The disadvantages include the relatively high cost. Veneers do not require special care, it is enough to carefully monitor oral hygiene, rinse your mouth every time after meals. It is not recommended to bite on solid foods – the installed linings can be damaged.

There are a number of contraindications for installing veneers – enamel thinning, bruxism, pronounced malocclusion. Before installing the overlays, it is necessary to thoroughly cure caries, replace old fillings. It is not recommended to place veneers if you have persistent bad habits, such as nail biting, or if you participate in traumatic sports.

Composite veneers, or composites, are made from light-curing materials. This is the most affordable type of veneer, often used for chipped and cracked enamel. Installation takes place immediately at the reception and can take several hours. To begin with, the doctor grinds off a thin layer of enamel. Then he processes the tooth for better further adhesion to the composite material, which is applied layer by layer. The last and often the longest step is the final sanding and polishing – for maximum smoothness and naturalness. Over time, the composer may slightly change color, especially when smoking, using dyes. Polishing may be required to maintain their appearance. The service life of such veneers is up to five years, but if the rules are followed, it can be longer.
Ceramicveneers are widespread. Ceramic allows for a very aesthetic result with high strength. When installing, it may be necessary to turn the tooth to make the veneer fit more tightly, but this is not necessary. The peculiarity of the new generation (pressed) ceramics is their thinness and perfect conformity to a given shape, due to which it is often not necessary to additionally grind the tooth. The enamel is processed for better adhesion to the ceramic plate. Then an impression is taken for the manufacture of individual veneers, temporary plastic onlays can be installed at the time of manufacture. On the next visit, the finished veneers are attached with special glue. Caring for ceramic veneers is about being careful, you should not bite hard objects and products. Ceramic discoloration is not threatened, veneers retain their ideal look for a long time.
Zirconiumveneers – the most durable of the listed, made of zirconium dioxide. They can withstand mechanical and chewing stress. At the same time, zirconium dioxide veneers are very aesthetic, translucent and give a natural shine. They are not subject to the action of dyes and are resistant to temperature extremes. Sometimes zirconium is combined with a fine ceramic coating. This type of veneer requires either minimal or no grinding of the tooth. After processing and taking of impressions, the grinded teeth are covered with a plastic patch for protection. Zirconium dioxide is processed by milling, according to an individual computer model, after which the finished onlays are attached to the teeth. Caring for zirconia veneers is the same as for other types of veneers. Service life – from 10 years for zirconium with ceramic coating,

Glasspan technology

This technique has also begun to be applied relatively recently. It is based on the use of a flexible ceramic ligament for the restoration of the teeth in the anterior and lateral zones. The technology allows using any dental material for restoration. It can be used when a decayed tooth needs to be restored.

The technique has found good application in prosthetics. It is suitable for the fabrication of bridges and adhesive prostheses. Also, with its help, it is good to stabilize the affected teeth.

Cost of tooth restoration

The cost of tooth restoration depends on many factors, in particular – on the type of material used, the size of the defect, the professionalism and experience of the dentist, and the pricing policy of the clinic.

Artistic restoration of teeth with filling material will cost from about 2,500 to 15,000 rubles per tooth – at the prices of Moscow dental centers. Sometimes the price does not include anesthesia or a doctor’s consultation.

If you need to install a crown, the price for metal-ceramic prostheses in Moscow ranges from 14,000 to 53,000 rubles. Zirconium dioxide crowns will cost about 13,500-80,000 rubles. Ceramic crowns in Moscow cost from 11,500 to 79,000 rubles. It is necessary to clarify what is included in the price.

As a rule, dental prosthetics may require anesthesia, treatment or depulpation of the tooth, filling the canals, taking an X-ray, making an inlay (if necessary), installing temporary crowns, making a prosthesis, trying it on and correcting it if necessary. The wide range of prices for crowns is explained not only by the difference in materials, but also by the range of services that are included in the price of prosthetics, in addition to the crown itself, as well as the status of the clinic itself.

When restoring a decayed tooth with an implant, the price usually consists of the cost of the implants themselves, the price of the crown and the cost of the specialist’s work. Implantation can be either two-stage or performed in one go. The cost of implantation of one tooth together with a crown in Moscow clinics is about 25,500 to 150,000 rubles. There are methods of implanting several teeth next to each other, or even complete restoration of teeth on the entire jaw, while only 4 or 6 implants allow you to restore the entire dentition. In such cases, the price per tooth will be lower.

The price for dental restoration services with ceramic veneers in Moscow ranges from 11,500 to 79,000 rubles. The cost of composite veneers is less and comparable to the cost of artistic dental restoration. The price may not include the work of removing tartar, preparing teeth for the installation of veneers, the installation of temporary overlays.

Artistic dental restoration is not cheap. It is much more profitable to take care of your smile in advance. Careful observance of the rules of hygiene, respect and regular examination by the dentist allow you to maintain the health and beauty of your teeth for a long time. But if the need arose, modern methods of dental restoration can quickly restore a smile to its natural beauty.

Removable full dentures

If it is possible to hook on the orthopedic structure, then the dentist can install only the clasp system. It differs not only in aesthetic appearance, but also in good quality. But what kind of dentures is better to put, if there are no teeth at all? In such a situation, complete removable structures are suitable. This is the only alternative if both or one jaw is edentulous. Such structures are made, as a rule, of nylon or acrylic. It should be noted that the technology of manufacturing dentures has undergone some changes. As a result of this, the products have become more durable and neat. The improved models are now more practical and free from such disadvantages as unreliable fixation in the oral cavity, as well as unsatisfactory appearance.

Dentures made using modern technology are distinguished by a high wear resistance. With proper care and adherence to all hygiene rules, such orthopedic structures can serve for a fairly long time. At the same time, the appearance, as well as the color and density of the products will remain practically unchanged. It is worth noting that complete removable structures have recently begun to be manufactured taking into account all the wishes of the client and, of course, the individual characteristics of the oral cavity.

Tabs

The inlay is something like a filling, but it is not made of composite materials, but as a prosthesis, of metal or ceramic. It is more durable and can be used even if more than a third of the tooth is destroyed. In fact, the inlay is a microprosthesis, it is made separately in the laboratory and fixed in the tooth cavity. The inlay is installed only in molars – it cannot be fixed in the incisor or canine.

The inlays are made of metal, ceramic, or zirconia. Metal strong, but unaesthetic, ceramic is more fragile, but aesthetic, zirconia – both aesthetic and durable, but more expensive. Ceramic molars are usually placed in the smile zone, metal or zirconium – outside the smile zone, where the chewing load is higher.

Installing tabs is as follows:

A dental drill removes tissues affected by caries from the tooth, and a comfortable, even cavity is formed.
Impressions are taken from the cavity and adjacent teeth, the cavity is closed with a temporary filling.
In the laboratory, an inlay is made on the basis of the impression – it takes from several days to a week.
The inlay is installed in the cavity and fixed to a special cement.

After installation, the tab serves for many years, and its appearance does not change. But under the tab, the tooth needs to be sharpened much harder, and it costs more than a filling, therefore, tabs are mainly placed in case of serious damage.

The cost of metal inlays is about 5,000 rubles, from ceramics – from 10,000, from zirconium dioxide – from 15,000.

Features of extension on a pin

The pin is a special structure that acts as a base, which provides the tooth with reliability when chewing. They are made from alloys of gold, palladium, titanium, stainless steel, as well as from ceramics, carbon fiber and fiberglass. The pins are different in shape, composition and size.

The main types of pins:

Standard conical or cylindrical design. They are used when tooth decay is insignificant.
Customized designs. They are made taking into account the relief of the root system. These pins are very reliable and hold firmly in the root canals.
Metal rods are used in cases of significant destruction of the tooth, when most of it is missing. With its help, the tooth can withstand heavy loads when chewing.
Anchor pins are made from titanium alloys.
Fiberglass structures are highly resilient. Fiberglass does not react with saliva and oral tissues.
Carbon fiber pins are the most advanced material. They are very durable and distribute the load on the dental organ evenly.

Today, fiberglass pins are most commonly used. They can be used to completely fill the root canals. Also, fiberglass interacts well with composite materials, which makes it possible to restore a tooth without a crown.

When choosing a pin, it is important to consider the following nuances:

How badly the root is destroyed, what is the thickness of its walls, how deep can the pin be placed.
At what level relative to the gums the tooth collapsed.
What kind of load will the tooth be subjected to? Whether it will support the bridge or stand alone.
When choosing a material, it is important to take into account the characteristics of the patient, the possibility of an allergic reaction to this or that material.

The installation of the pin is contraindicated in the following cases:

disruption of the central nervous system;
blood disease;
periodontium;
root wall thickness less than two millimeters;
complete absence of the coronal part in the anterior part of the tooth.

Potential consequences of tooth loss

In many cases, patients pay insufficient attention and time to the health and safety of the dentition, even knowing that edentulism can negatively affect health.

For example, poor-quality chewing of food increases the risk of developing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, which in turn provokes metabolic failures and other problems in the human body. The loss of one tooth triggers the process of slow displacement of teeth in the row, in addition, it can lead to the loss of healthy teeth.

In the absence of one or more teeth, the patient chews food on one of the sides, and this can lead to jaw changes, for example, subsidence, which changes the appearance of the face.

Loss of teeth can be a good reason for the appearance of psychological (when a person is dissatisfied with his own appearance) and social (when it is difficult for a person to be in society) problems.

Cosmetic restoration

This restoration method involves restoring an attractive appearance to the teeth. It is used in cases where there are small chips, cracks, scratches, dark spots on the enamel surface. The restoration is carried out by a cosmetic dentist. High quality composite materials are used for work.

Cosmetic restoration requires a lot of skill. An experienced doctor can restore a tooth so skillfully that no one even suspects that it has ever been damaged.

After the procedure, the dentist gives recommendations to the patient on how to properly care for the teeth in order to preserve the result obtained for a long time.

The cost of cosmetic restoration depends on the complexity of the clinical case. The more painstaking work a doctor does, the more money he takes for his services.

A secure fit is important

So, we figured out which dentures are better to put in case of loss of all teeth. However, many patients have doubts about the reliability of the fixation of complete removable structures. In order for the dentures to hold securely, they should be placed on implants, which are previously implanted in the jaw. Of course, there is also a more expensive option. In this case, dentures are installed, which are equipped with special suction cups. However, such designs are not recommended to be installed on the lower jaw, which differs from the upper in greater mobility. It is worth noting that removable dentures look no worse than natural teeth. Adaptation to such products is quick and painless.

Veneers

Veneers are another micro-prosthesis. They look like thin plates that stick to the front of the teeth. Veneers are used for the restoration of incisors and canines. You cannot put tabs in them, but if a tooth breaks off or collapses, it can be covered with this plate to restore its shape.

Veneers are used not only for restoration – sometimes they are used to mask defects in enamel and teeth. They allow you to create the perfect white smile.

Most often, veneers are made from ceramic or medical porcelain. There are more economical composite veneers – they resemble fillings, but are molded separately and fixed to the tooth after fixing. Such veneers are fragile, quickly lose their aesthetics, therefore they are rarely used.

There are also veneers made of zirconium dioxide, a special white metal. They are aesthetic and as strong as possible, they are able to withstand serious chewing loads, do not crack or chip, but they are more expensive than ceramic ones, therefore they are also rarely used.

Veneers are installed according to the following scheme:

All tissues affected by caries are removed, chips are smoothed out.
The enamel is ground to fix the veneer. There are types of veneers, for example, lumineers or ultraniers, which are installed without turning – they are thinner.
Taking casts from teeth.
Selection of the color of the restoration using a special scale or device.
Installation of a temporary filling to protect the grinded teeth.
Making a permanent veneer in the laboratory takes from a week.
Fitting and installation of veneers.

You can put both one veneer on a destroyed tooth, and several microprostheses, even on all teeth in the smile zone.

In case of serious destruction of the tooth, veneers are not used, since there is nothing to fully fix them on. It is necessary that at least 50% of the crown is preserved.

The cost of one ceramic veneer starts at 14,000 rubles. Zirconia veneers cost around 30,000 each. When restoring several teeth in the smile zone, they often give a discount.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Temporary Solutions

Of the advantages, the following can be distinguished: they allow you to temporarily hide the fact of the absence of teeth until permanent prosthetics is performed. And this means that no matter how long the preparation for treatment lasts, you can calmly and without hesitation communicate, talk, smile, without experiencing psychological discomfort.

Temporary constructions allow you to recreate the integrity of the row, protect the mucous membrane from injury at the site of the extracted tooth. In addition, they prevent neighboring units from moving to the place of the lost one, which prevents their deformation and malocclusion. They restore chewing function, help maintain correct diction, which often deteriorates in the presence of defects in the frontal area of the smile.

Another important advantage of temporary constructions is that with their help the patient is easier to experience the process of adaptation to permanent prostheses and gets used to them much faster.

As for the shortcomings, the main disadvantage is the short service life. This drawback is explained by the quality and fragility of the materials from which temporary prostheses are made, which make it possible to hide a destroyed or removed anterior / chewing tooth.

In order not to face the disadvantages of temporary solutions in practice, we recommend that you replace them with permanent ones exactly when dentists recommend doing it. On average, the period of their optimal wearing is up to six months, up to a maximum of 2-3 years – this is more than enough for medical and preparatory manipulations preceding permanent prosthetics.

Acrylic or nylon?

Which dentures are considered the best today: acrylic or nylon? It is rather difficult to answer this question unequivocally. To understand this and understand which dentures are best to put, you should consider all the advantages and disadvantages of the products.

Flexibility and, of course, lightness. These indicators affect the strength of structures. For example, nylon dentures, thanks to the material, are very flexible, soft and lightweight. However, such structures are very difficult to break. In terms of flexibility and strength, acrylic dentures are inferior to nylon. But such designs are able to retain their shape for a long time. In addition, acrylic dentures are lightweight.
Hygiene. This indicator is of particular importance for many. Nylon orthopedic structures are odorless, non-toxic, and do not absorb moisture. Acrylic dentures are extremely porous. It is because of this that a large number of bacteria accumulate on their surface, which can cause the development of inflammatory processes in the oral cavity.
Appearance. What kind of dentures is better to put in so that they do not stand out much? In terms of color and shape, nylon designs are best suited. In addition, they are able to maintain an aesthetic appearance for a long time. The disadvantage of these prostheses is the transmission of teeth at the junction. As for the acrylic removable structures, they can be selected not only in shape, but also in color.
Hypoallergenic. In this regard, nylon structures have good biocompatibility, which cannot be said about acrylic dentures. They are capable of causing local and general allergic reactions.
Price. Nylon removable dentures are more expensive than acrylic dentures. The problem is that they are made abroad. If we compare the cost of implantation and installation of removable dentures, then the cost of the latter method of prosthetics can be called democratic.

Photopolymers

Photopolymers are another great material widely used in dentistry. With its help, you can eliminate various defects (cracks, stains), restore the shape of the tooth, its functionality, return the enamel to its previous color.

For small teeth defects, photopolymers are successfully used to eliminate them.

First, the dentist processes the chewing organ, giving it the desired shape. Then builds up the missing parts with a photopolymer material. As a result, the tooth takes on the desired shape and size. The photopolymer material hardens under the rays of an ultraviolet lamp. After applying the composite, the doctor irradiates the tooth with the light of a lamp, and the photopolymer solidifies. This happens very quickly.

After finishing the work, the dentist carefully grinds the composite to give it a smooth finish. If this is not done, the material will absorb food coloring and will soon change its color. For greater color preservation, it is covered with a special compound.

Photopolymers are not used in the following clinical cases:

Dental root is weakened
The root system is affected by the inflammatory process
The patient has abnormal mobility of the teeth of the fourth stage
There is a need to restore two teeth located next to each other

Removable partial systems

What dentures are best placed on chewing teeth with partial loss? In this case, partial removable structures should be used. Such dentures are made on plastic or metal frames. They fill in the gaps that occur after tooth loss. Most often they are installed:

in situations where adjacent teeth cannot be used as a support for installing a bridge;
with a significant defect in the row. For example, if several teeth are missing in a row;
as a temporary measure, while a more reliable and high-quality structure is being manufactured.

There are several main types of removable dentures:

Immediate prostheses;
segment, or sector, removable structures;
products on telescopic crowns;
clasp systems;
lamellar plastic prostheses.
