Recently, such a medical service as dental prosthetics has been very popular. The types of prosthetics, in fact, are diverse, and everyone can resort to the method that he likes best.
Quite often, situations arise in which it is not possible to save a tooth. Its architecture is disturbed, as a result of which it must be removed. And then many people resort to a service called dental prosthetics. Types of prosthetics allow you to “put” a new tooth. A prosthesis is a mechanical device that replaces a missing segment. Thus, the functional and cosmetic completion of the defect occurs. What can be prosthetics?
Types of prosthetics
There are different methods: cermets, full removable or clasp prostheses, inlays, cermet bridges and crowns, implants. It is worth stopping at each of them.
Cermets
If we talk about methods of prosthetics, then, perhaps, cermets - this is the most common of them. Its base is a light but rigid metal frame. Such crowns can also be used in combination with the clasp dentures mentioned just above. Ceramic-metal prostheses, based on an alloy of noble metals such as platinum and gold, are of particular quality. Titanium crowns are also popular. This is really the best dental prosthetics.
Clasp prostheses
There are various types of prosthetics, and the second most popular is clasp prostheses. What it is? This is a type of removable prosthetics. The word “clasp” is translated into Russian as “arc”. Actually, the prosthesis is made up of artificial teeth attached to supporting teeth using special locks. To make the fixation even better, they are connected by a very thin, but strong arch made of steel. Locks are not visible from the outside, since they are installed inside the prosthesis. Outsiders do not see that a person has artificial teeth. Truly good and high-quality prosthetics.
The types of prosthetics listed above are the most popular and high-quality. Now it’s worth considering how the treatment is going and the installation process itself.
Clasp prosthesis installation
Special attention should be paid to arch prosthetics. First, supporting teeth are prepared - for this they are covered with solid cast crowns, previously lined with ceramics. It is worth noting that the material is selected exactly in such a color that will be identical to natural teeth. Then the crowns are fixed on them in a reliable manner. Then they make the first part of the fastening, that is, the locks, and the second part will be placed in the prosthesis. By connecting the two locking parts together, the prosthesis is attached to the crowns. This dental prosthetics on implants is good because the prosthesis can be easily removed for rinsing and cleaning. This method of installing artificial teeth is recommended for those people who lack three or more teeth in a row. In this case, it will be difficult to put an ordinary bridge, but clasp prostheses will be an ideal option.
