The achievements of aesthetic dentistry can restore missing teeth in a variety of ways, using the latest developments in medicine and progressive materials.
Types of modern prostheses:
- Dentures removable nylon (from injection molding thermoplastic).
- Removable dentures clammed (with metal hooks as fastening).
- Acrylic removable dentures.
Flexible nylon removable dentures
At the moment, this type of prosthesis is very popular and in demand for a number of reasons:
- In nylon, there is no residual monomer, so it does not cause allergies;
- the material does not absorb the oral fluid, respectively, the microflora bacteria do not live and multiply in it (non-hygroscopicity);
- Do not loosen the supporting teeth due to the ease of the prosthesis;
- Ion exchange in the oral cavity is not impaired; in nylon prosthesis there are no metal components;
- high aesthetics is achieved due to the translucence of the material and the possibility to choose it under the natural color of the gum;
- Nylon dentures have high elasticity and strength;
- in the role of fixators are alviolar-dental clasps (repeat the shape of healthy supporting teeth);
- The method of hot injection makes it possible to achieve the highest accuracy of fitting the prosthesis and maximally stable fixation;
- use of a stable dye prevents discoloration of the teeth in the prosthesis;
- Addiction is much faster and chewing functions are not violated.
Nylon dentures - contraindications:
- High mobility of the mucous tissue of the gum.
- Periodontal disease.
- Periodontitis.
- Strong atrophy of the gums.
- Low height of crowns of healthy teeth.
Disadvantages of nylon dentures:
- high cost of the prosthesis, its installation and subsequent corrections;
- difficulty in care;
- if damaged, the prosthesis can not be repaired;
- weak polishing capabilities;
- incorrect distribution of the masticatory load;
- lack of support on the teeth due to the flexibility of the prosthesis;
- atrophy of the alveolar;
- violations of chewing functions.
Many of the disadvantages of nylon removable dentures can be prevented if you seek help from a dentist in time.
Manufacture of nylon dentures
1. Preparation of the oral cavity:
- removal of carious tissues;
- tooth filling;
- removal of plaque and tartar;
- teeth whitening (optional).
2. Removal of the jawbone with dental plastic (alginal) mass.
3. Manufacturing of gypsum diagnostic model.
4. Fitting a temporary gum base with a gypsum model of teeth.
5. Correction of the impression (if necessary).
6. Folding the prosthesis out of nylon.
7. Staining the product.
8. Fitting and final installation.
A full nylon denture is selected in accordance with the size of the jaw and the width of the gums. It is used exclusively as a temporary alternative to a prosthesis on implants and can not be in use for a long time. This is due to the high elasticity of the nylon prosthesis, which makes it impossible to perform the chewing functions. In addition, a complete nylon prosthesis can not be permanently fixed either with the help of special suction cups on its inner surface, or with the help of
Care of nylon dentures:
- daily clean dentures with special toothpastes;
- soak the products in the baths designed for them;
- Give artificial limbs for professional cleaning to the laboratory every two months.
The service life of nylon dentures
With proper care and careful attitude, removable nylon dentures can last for 7 years. The usual period of normal functioning of such products is, on average, 2-3 years.
