Results:
Dentures are worn by people to replace missing or missing teeth so that they can maintain a balanced diet and smile with assurance. They can be constructed of metal or acrylic, a type of plastic. All of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw are replaced by a complete or full denture.
Ideal Candidate:
The treatment is recommended for people having the following conditions:
- Partial absence of teeth in row one or more in a row
- Inability to restore the tooth in other ways
- Complete loss of teeth in upper and/or lower jaw
- Dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint against the background of the absence of teeth
- Tooth mobility due to periodontitis requires splinting and redistribution of the load on prostheses.
Despite the many advantages, modern prostheses have contraindications, which are:
- Acute inflammatory periodontal diseases
- Systemic infections, including acute respiratory infections and acute respiratory viral infections
- The postoperative period after tooth extraction or other intervention in the oral cavity, as well as ent organs
- Exhaustion of the body due to serious illnesses
- Intolerance to the materials from which the prosthesis or its individual elements are made.
Types:
The types in which we can divide the Teeth Dentures in Georgia & Tbilisi are discussed below:
Removeable: These can be completely, partially, or conditionally removable. Some types of removable dentures need to be removed from the mouth every night and cleaned of food debris, and some simply need to be cleaned with a regular toothbrush and paste.
Non-Removable: Fixed prosthetics are less diverse. They are represented by dental crowns and crowns with a cantilever, bridges and micro prostheses. They are installed when grinding adjacent teeth, but it is important to consider here that not all teeth can withstand the load in the form of supporting parts of the dentures. Often, patients themselves refuse this option of prosthetics, as they do not want to spoil healthy teeth.
How to use Dentures?
Basic rules for the use of dentures:
- Regular use of partially removable and fully removable structures, a break in wearing should not be longer than 10 days so that you do not have to re-adapt to prostheses and experience discomfort
- Refusal of products that can damage fragile structural elements or deform them cereals and pasta roasted nuts, viscous caramel and toffee, seeds
- Refusal of foods and dishes with aggressive acids that can change the structure or reduce the strength of prosthesis elements
- Refusal of products with bright pigments in the composition of blueberries, beets, shadberry, and blackberries due to the risk of pigmentation of polymeric materials
- Thorough cleaning of the mouth and dentures after each meal.
Dentists also recommend monitoring the temperature of food. To preserve the functionality and appearance of prostheses, it is not recommended to create sudden temperature changes in the oral cavity while wearing them.
Teeth Dentures (FAQ’s):
Are Dentures Only For Older People?
Old age and decay are not the only reasons for lost tooth and Tooth loss can occur due to a number of reasons such as accident or injury, crowded teeth, or an oral disease etc. Anyone who chooses to improve their appearance by replacing a lost tooth can chose to get dentures.
What Is The Denture Fitting Procedure?
The doctor will take a couple of impressions of your mouth and make measurements in order to craft the perfect Teeth Dentures for your particular need. This gives him the intricate details such as the position of the surrounding tissue and tooth to get the best fit for your denture.
How To Take Care Of Your Dentures?
Brushing atleast once daily or twice daily is always recommended by dentists after you get dentures. However, remember to use a soft-bristled tooth brush and try using special denture cleaner instead of tooth paste.
Can You Sleep With Dentures In?
Sleeping with your Teeth Dentures in can negatively affect saliva flow, blocking the saliva's path, which can give rise to a condition called denture stomatitis. To avoid any complications, it is recommended to take out your dentures while sleeping.
Do Dentures Hurt?
Generally, dentures that do not require tooth extraction can be relatively painless and only slight discomfort is felt for the first few days after they are installed. You may also initially feel like they are rubbing or pushing against your gums and may feel sensitivity.
Can You Eat With Dentures?
It is usually advised to avoid eating sticky foods as they may get stuck to your dentures.Some chewy and hard food may feel difficult to chew with your dentures initially, but with the right amount of practice and denture adhesive, you can eat almost anything.
Denture Care:
Despite the durability of materials and their neutrality, they can negatively affect the healthy microflora of the oral cavity, suppressing its protective abilities. As a result, an imbalance can occur in which conditionally pathogenic flora, including fungi and bacteria, can become more active. That is why regular special oral hygiene is required. Dentists recommend:
- Use irrigators to effectively clean hard-to-reach areas of fixed or partially removable dentures during the day, especially after each meal
- Use special mouthwashes with regenerating, nourishing, anti-inflammatory and ph-balancing properties;
- Use dental floss to clean the interdental spaces in the absence of access to the irrigator
- Use soft toothpaste without abrasive particles, but with herbal extracts and anti-inflammatory, healing properties to maintain gum and periodontal health.
