Prosthetic dentistry (denture treatment) is a section of dentistry aimed at restoration of previously lost tooth or part of a tooth or teeth or dental arcade.
The tooth loss is usually caused by dental diseases and their complications as well as injuries.
The loss of teeth, especially in a young age, not only leads to aesthetic defection of the dental arcade integrity, but in case of untimely visit to dentist, to different functional complications. As it is known, during prolonged absence of teeth the chewing function is broken, present teeth in mouth are overloaded that can lead to early loss, there occurs deformation of face (breaking of symmetry and proportions), muscles atrophy and changes in TMJ (pain, stiffness, crunch).
All this as well as unsatisfactory aesthetic appearance makes the patient seek for advice with a dentist-orthopaedist.
In “ROMA” Dental Clinic prosthetic dentistry differs with a comprehensive approach to each individual clinical situation.
The patient is usually most interested in how will look and operate his teeth after treatment. To answer this question it is necessary to conduct detailed planning of the future prosthesis. Therefore, prior to manipulation, we conduct functional diagnosis of tooth-jaw system, X-ray examination, photographs of clinical case and focus our attention on the wishes of the patient.
Having received all the data we analyse it in detail (for this we involve all necessary subspecialists of the clinic) make a diagnoses and draw up an individual plan of recommended dental treatment adjusting wishes of the patient, which in our opinion is the most optimal for the prognosis and duration of the treatment process. Also we consider alternatives that are possible in each case.
Concordance of the treatment plan with the patient is one of the most crucial task, since the chosen treatment option will determine the final result, the way how the teeth will look and operate.
In difficult clinical cases, we conduct pre-clinical wax modelling and make surgical templates for implantation {для клієнта – незакінчене речення в оригіналі}.
Taking into consideration the philosophy of maximum preservation of tooth we prefer implanting instead of “sawing off” a healthy teeth.
Only a team approach and coordinated work of all professionals is key to success.
Today, thanks to modern technology and materials, we are able to perform any type of prosthetic restoration on a high professional level.
According to way of fixing dentures are divided into removable and non-removable.
The group of non-removable dentures are:
The group of removable dentures are:
The advantage of the removable prosthesis ensures reliable fixation and ability to eat any food.
