Dentures

The area of restorative dentistry has got distinctly important. A lot of patients suffer massive destructions of the dental substance caused by caries, periodontal problems or inherent malformations of the teeth. This can lead to early tooth loss or destructions that do not only affect the aesthetic negatively but also the biological function of chewing. Nowadays long lasting, aesthetically flawless restorations are demanded from the dentists due to that.

We work in our labour on the spot only with the best materials of internationally approved companies and products like Bego, Degussa and Vita Porcelan. Further on we are specialised to produce prostheses with the most modern and ingenious bracing functions, the attachment mechanisms of which come from Germany.

When the number and the position of the existent teeth does no more make a fixed supply possible, then the production of a removable prosthetic ensues. At total adontia two solutions are in the run:

1. Full denture

This becomes due, if no tooth could be preserved. This artificial dentition simply lies on the upper or lower jaw and only in the upper jaw the prosthesis is suck to the mucosa due to the underinflation between the saliva and the jaw. The more degraded the jaw ridge, the worse the hold of the prosthesis, whereat relining or adhesive agents only permit temporary easing.

2. Full denture fixated on implants

Lasting hold only implants can promise – artificial dental roots – at which prostheses can be applied in various ways. Today it is even possible to achieve a fixed denture solution with less implants. Ask at us for All-on-4 implant solutions.

In the upper jaw, as well as in the lower jaw, at least 2 implants, even better 4 implants can be applied at a time. On these ones total prostheses are based that are attached with elements of precision. These ones sit very stable and do not move from their position when taking nor when eating. An enhanced feeling of security is ensured. Even if the patient already has a total prosthesis, is this one not applicable. The precision attachments have to be manufactured anew.

In case of partial adontia the following solutions are in the run:

1. removeable synthetic - partial dentures

The reasonably priced, but for the remaining teeth an unfavourable or rather harmful prosthesis solution. The prosthesis lies on the gingiva or rather the bone structure and is applied to the teeth with wire clamps. These ones can lead to the injury but also to the loss of the still remaining teeth. We mostly only use this solution as a provisional prosthesis until to the production of the definite denture.

2. removable metal framework dentures

The dental technician produces a precise, poured framework prosthesis. This one consists of a base plate lying on the gingiva and poured clasps comprising the teeth. On this metal base a gingival mask made out of synthetic and artificial teeth are applied. For the existing residual ivories is this solution more favourable. In case of the production of clasps holding crowns, a long-term application of those provisions is possible without any problems. But the poured clasps are conceived as an aesthetic disadvantage by the patients.

3. Telescope prostheses

If the residual set of teeth only consists of 1-3 teeth, this provision is the best. These teeth are prepared by the dentist, the dental technician produces precisely primary and secondary crowns on the basis of the dental impression. The primary crown is cemented to the tooth stump and the secondary crown is embedded into the prosthesis. Telescope prostheses are made out of noble metal alloying, for only they have the necessary tissue feature and are appropriate for the optimal surface condition. Protheses of this kind of bracing display a high functional stability and a good aesthetic.

4. Combined dental work

These ones are a combination of a fixed dental bridge and a removeable prosthesis that is held by a precision attachment. No clasps are visible from the outside. This is necessary in cases in which the dispersal of the tooth loss has already reached an extent in which the masticatory force caused by chewing and biting is very burdening for the residual teeth. Typical are cases in which the patient still has incisor teeth in the front, but lacks already a lot of molars. This kind of artificial teeth demands much more work from the dental technician and also shall be controlled and fitted between the technical work phases. This is why it lasts longer to produce them, than the simpler and removeable dentures with holding clasps. This solution is often optimal for patients who have too less bones for an implantation, or who have to do without them for cost reasons. At first the teeth are polished, then the production of the fixed pieces, the bridges and the precision attachments follows. After the trial in mouth of these and further impressions, the removeable piece is made. A test of the teeth follows as a control. Enlarged adontia as well as total adontia demands a registration, setup of the occlusion. Combined prostheses are in a lot of cases a suggestive alternative. Thereby at least two teeth are applied with a crown in which links – abutments, attachments, telescopes or cone crowns – are worked into. The removeable prosthesis is connected with the residual set of teeth with the aid of these links. They all have the following advantages in common: optimal liability of the teeth and thus no loosenig of the teeth; best cleaning conditions and thus protection against gingival problems and caries. Combined prostheses without clasps offer the maximum of wearing comfort in connection with magnificent aesthetic.
