Shinning teeth is a procedure that strengthens the teeth, as a result of which they do not loosen and fall out. Conduct it in cases where the teeth are not loosely sitting in the gums, that is, it is necessary to reduce their mobility by installing a special tire.
Indications for tooth splinting
Splinting of teeth is indicated in periodontitis. With this diagnosis - it is almost the only effective method of treatment. Also indications for this procedure are:
- non-standard position of teeth;
- severe dental abnormalities;
- bleeding gums;
- bare roots;
- Displacement of teeth;
- rapid accumulation near the root of dental deposits;
- pronounced pockets of the gums.
Also, the splinting of the upper and lower jaw is prescribed for fracture and in other cases when the teeth are loosened after trauma.
Fixed splinting of teeth
A cable (permanent) splinting is performed if absolutely all teeth are preserved in the dentition. This method is considered sparing, because for its implementation, teeth do not need to be grinded and they are minimally traumatized. Continuous splinting of the teeth is carried out with the help of fiberglass tape, prostheses or crowns. The thread is most often used. This material contributes to the disappearance of different in magnitude interdental spaces and allows you to distribute the load between all the shined teeth.
Such a non-removable splinting of mobile teeth does not affect their appearance in any way. The procedure itself is simple and similar in terms of pain and duration with conventional prosthetics or crown installation.
Removable splinting of teeth
Removable temporary splinting is the installation of prostheses. This method is used only in particularly severe and neglected cases, when the patient's teeth begin to fall out. Removable splinting is also necessary for fracture of the jaw , if the dentition is fixed for the time of restoration.
To carry out the procedure, the patient is made a design for individual measurements, since it should ideally fill the gaps in the place of the dropped teeth and securely fix the remaining teeth. Make it of metal or plastic. The advantage of this design is that it minimizes the possibility of atrophy of the jawbone, and after its installation the teeth along the gums do not move apart. If it is made correctly, the mobility of the teeth will be limited, but it will be possible to carry out other treatments and without problems to perform daily oral care.
Complications after splinting teeth
Removable or cable-locking the teeth is not a complicated procedure. But in some cases, after its completion, complications may appear. For example, very often in patients the sensitivity of the teeth increases.
Did you notice that you have pulpitis? This happens if the groove during the implementation of this treatment procedure opens the pulp chamber or is made very close to the pulp. The patient may have dental diseases after splinting during periodontitis, if the edges of the structure are poorly polished.
After installing the tires, you need to carefully monitor the quality of oral hygiene. If you clean hard-to-reach places after splinting it is difficult, it is worth buying a special dental:
- irrigators;
- brushes;
- brushes.
If you were given tires during the treatment of dental diseases, try to exclude from your diet products that promote the multiplication of various pathogens (sweets, carbonated drinks). After the completion of the procedure, most often caress the mouth with special dental disinfecting solutions. Bite hard food and engage in dangerous sports with tires is strictly prohibited.
