Dental Prosthesis process
The idea of mounting teeth depends on replacing damaged or even missing teeth with other artificial teeth that resemble natural teeth as much as possible, and instead of having a root of a tooth like natural teeth the crown of the tooth is connected to what looks like a screw bolt and is the part that is fixed in the bones of the upper or lower jaw depending on the location of the intended tooth.
You will not need to install replacement teeth to make up for each missing or broken tooth, but the focus in these cases is often on the teeth that appear when laughing and talking, such as teeth and anterior molars, but some internal teeth do not need compensation, but sometimes extraction is an advantage, as is the case in large wisdom teeth in a small jaw What causes all teeth crowd together.
Sometimes the installation is necessary, especially in the case of losing more than one tooth or molar to distribute the powers evenly over the whole teeth, thus protecting the remaining natural teeth from exposure to damage, damage and injury due to the concentration of the force of the jaw pressure on them alone.
Types of dental prosthesis
Dental prostheses or crowns are prosthetics that are custom formulated to be fitted over the damaged dental parts. Crowns are also used to fill dental gaps caused by severe caries. Dental prostheses are divided into fixed tooth fittings and movable tooth fittings.
Fixed teeth installation
It is what is known as dental crowns, which are installed by the doctor and fixed for long periods without removing them except in the dental clinic.
Types of fixed dental prostheses
Metal crowns are gold or other metal
Porcelain crowns (made of metal and covered with porcelain)
Zirconia crowns
Moving teeth installation
They are known as dental denture, used to replace missing teeth, so that a denture is installed between the neighboring teeth to fill the gaps between them.
