In response to the question of what is dental prosthesis, it should be said that dental prosthesis is one of the methods of tooth replacement for the empty space of a lost tooth. There are different types of dentures. Depending on the needs of the mouth, the empty space of the teeth, the beauty of the teeth, as well as the physical condition of the person, different types of fixed prosthesis or movable prosthesis can be used. Simple veneers, which are used for restoration or as treatment of dental veneers after denervation, are also in the category of dental prostheses. When several teeth are extracted, in addition to the implant, the space of the missing tooth can be compensated with a prosthesis. Prosthesis is a dental treatment that does not require surgery and is performed by a prosthetist dentist in two or three sessions depending on the condition of the gums.
Types of fixed dentures
Fixed dental prosthesis is known as dental veneer, which is of different types: 🔵 One unit dental veneer A single dental crown is used when the tooth structure is weak and fragile, and the crown is used as a protection for the tooth structure. In addition, veneers are also used to beautify teeth. The single-unit dental veneer is divided into two types: PFM veneer, which is metal, and zirconia veneer, which is all ceramic. Dental bridge This type of dental prosthesis is used when the patient has lost one or more teeth but the front and back teeth are present in the mouth. In bridge treatment, the dentist creates a base for the placement of the middle teeth by grinding the remaining teeth so that the veneers can be placed as a bridge in the empty space between the front and back teeth.
What are the types of removable dentures?
Full dentures, dentures or dentures are used to replace missing teeth. Movable artificial teeth and dentures that can be easily placed in the mouth and removed are: 🔵 Parsil prosthesis It is a type of artificial tooth called a piece tooth, which is used in the type of partial acrylic prosthesis (flipper) and cobalt cream prosthesis to replace edentulism. This type of prosthesis is used when the back teeth are missing and there is no tooth for the base of the fixed prosthesis. Of course, in some situations, people may not want to use fixed dentures for any reason. 🔵 over denture It is a type of mobile prosthesis that is in the form of an artificial tooth and is placed on the implant bases, which are 2 or more bases in the jaw, depending on the needs and conditions of the jaw.
