Absence of teeth represents for the person serious difficulties not only the physical plan, but also the psychological one. To solve it, dental technicians and orthodontists came up with artificial limbs, but the first dental devices were inconvenient in that they covered the sky. Dental prostheses of the new generation without the palate are more convenient and allow to completely restore the lost with the teeth functions.
Types of dentures
Dental prostheses of the new generation, unlike the first devices, do not cover the sky, do not rub soft tissues and do not lead to discomfort. There are several types of innovative prostheses, which are selected taking into account how many teeth are available and how they are located. Prostheses of the new generation are divided into the following types:
- Bugelnye. These are the most popular dentures of the new generation without the palate. The existence of different designs of clasp structures helps to choose the most suitable options for a particular case.
- Acrylic. Constructions from this material are often used in temporary prosthetics.
- Nylon. Made of flexible nylon. They have a good aesthetic appearance, but weak practicality.
- Sandwich-prosthesis. They are composed of two parts, which determined their name.
- Telescopic. This design is often used in clasp prostheses.
- Beams. For this type of prosthesis, the implantation of implants is necessary, on which a beam metal structure is attached.
Clasp dentures
Clasp dentures for teeth are made on the basis of a light, but strong metal construction. The prosthesis has an arcuate shape, to which artificial crowns are attached. With the help of special fasteners, the prosthesis is fixed on the existing teeth. If you want to put a removable denture on the upper jaw without the palate, you can use the clasp version. Clasp dentures have varieties that are due to the method of attachment:
- Clammed - the cheapest clasp dentures, which are mounted with the help of hooks - clasps.
- Micro-lock - dentures of a new generation on locks, reliable and more modern designs. The fixings of the micro-lock prosthesis contain two parts, the first of which is attached to the tooth or crown, and the second is on the prosthesis itself.
- Telescopic - modern removable dentures without a new generation of sky. The fixation of the structure in this case is carried out with the help of retractable telescopic crowns. This type of prosthetics is poorly developed due to the high price and complexity of creating a telescopic design.
Nylon dentures
Soft tooth prostheses without teeth are made of nylon or acrylic. They can be used for partial or complete absence of dental units. Thanks to the elasticity of the nylon, the devices are more flexible and comfortable to wear, and the color of the material helps make them invisible to the foreign eye. In addition to the positive aspects, denture nylon prostheses of the new generation without the sky also have negative:
- Bone tissue, hidden under the prosthetic construction, quickly atrophy.
- The softness of the design hinders the chewing of solid food.
- The prosthesis needs frequent correction.
- Soft dentures have a short life.
- The rough surface of the prosthesis causes the accumulation of bacteria on it.
Acrylic prosthesis
Acrylic prosthesis without palate refers to soft structures. It is used in temporary prosthetics and in the correction of bite in children. Acrylic prosthesis is not strong, therefore it is recommended that patients wearing acrylic designs should avoid solid food. The average life of the prosthesis made of acrylic is 2.5 years. With accurate application and proper care this term can be extended to 5 years.
Sandwich-prosthesis
Dental prostheses of a new generation without the sky: a sandwich and telescopic structures, refer to a conditionally removable prosthesis. These devices are called prosthetic Kvadrotty. The name of the sandwich-prosthesis was due to the fact that it is made of two different materials: solid acrylic and elastic polyurethane. Sandwich-prosthesis is recommended to use in the case when there are several dental units that will support the prosthesis. This design is well tolerated by the patient and has a high chewing ability.
Telescopic prosthesis
Telescopic dentures are included in the group of clasp structures. Occasionally, instead of the clasp device, a bridge is used. The telescopic construction consists of two parts. The first support part is the metal caps that are put on the existing teeth to create the basis of the prosthesis. This part is not removable. The second part is the construction itself, which is put on supports. This prosthesis is characterized by rigid fixation and good tolerance.
The presence of telescopic prosthesis does not affect my diction and facial expressions and has a high aesthetics. This design allows you to evenly distribute the load on the jaw and prevent changes in the gum. The prosthesis is put on for three years, but with proper care and correction of the upper part, the period of wearing can be 10 years. The design has a high cost, which is due to the complexity of manufacturing and a large amount of consumable material.
Beam prosthesis without sky
Beam prostheses without a palate refer to structures for the installation of which implants are needed. For this, first 2 or, if necessary, 3 implants are implanted in the jaw, and a metal beam is fixed on them. On the inner surface of the removable prosthesis are made grooves for attachment to the beam. In addition, silicone matrices are attached to the prosthesis, which are necessary for tight contact between the prosthesis and the implant. If the implant gets well, this prosthesis can last more than 10 years.
Which dentures are better
The variety of dentures is due to the variety of cases in which denture is needed. Before choosing dentures without palate, you need to answer a few questions:
- How many teeth are missing? If several units are lost, you can put a permanent prosthesis . If most of the teeth are missing, implants may be needed.
- Is the prosthesis permanently or temporary? Soft prostheses are suitable for temporary prosthetics.
- How important is the cost of prosthetics? Fixed prostheses will cost more, the same situation with the implantation of implants.
The achievement of prosthetics is the creation of removable structures without the sky. A removable denture of the new generation helps to restore not only one or several lost dentition units, but also a whole dentition. At the same time, the patient's sky will not be closed by a design, which makes wearing a prosthesis more comfortable. This group of prostheses includes designs that the patient can take off and put on independently. It also includes a partially removable prosthesis without a palate, which rests on implants.
Fixed dentures of the new generation
A permanent prosthesis of teeth without the sky is used in case of shortage in the dentition of one or several units. An important condition for the installation of a permanent prosthesis is the presence of teeth or implants, on which the bridge structure of the prosthesis can rest. The most popular among all dentures is the bridge. It is well attached to the teeth, does not cause unpleasant sensations, does not present difficulties in care. The disadvantages of this method of prosthetics are the need to grind nearby healthy teeth and uneven distribution of the load on the gum.
The second innovative type of fixed prosthesis is an implant . This method of prosthetics is used when it is necessary to make support for a longer prosthesis design or when one tooth is missing. A significant disadvantage of this variant of prosthetics is that doctors say that a number of conditions are required for successful implant implantation, which can not always be envisaged. Rejection of the implant is the reason for which it is necessary to resort to a different kind of prosthesis.
