PROSTHESIS TREATMENT

It aims to regain the aesthetics, phonation and function that the patient has lost by reconstructing the lost teeth and intraoral surrounding tissues.

treatment options in prosthodontics.

Fixed Prostheses:

This group includes prostheses that are made, glued or screwed either on natural teeth or on implants.

Compared to removable prostheses, they are more easily accepted by the patient and cannot be removed by the patient. In the prosthesis, the patient’s lost functions are tried to be regained, at the same time, it is aimed to correct the impaired speech and to improve the aesthetic appearance.

With the developing technology, fixed prosthesis applications, which can mimic the natural appearance with many different applications, have now been added to clinical solutions. There are types of prosthesis, metal-supported porcelain veneers, emax, zirconium veneers, laminated veneers, implant-supported fixed prostheses. Your physician will recommend the most suitable one for you.

Precision Attached Prostheses

It is a type of dental prosthesis applied in cases where there are many missing teeth and treatment cannot be performed with fixed prostheses. It is also known as snap prostheses among the people because of its hidden retainers that fit into the slots prepared in the teeth.

The parts of the precision-linked prostheses that fit into the sockets prevent the prosthesis from dislodging, so they do not move while eating. Over time, the sensitive ligaments may loosen, in which case the tires can be easily replaced.

Since the parts of the precision-linked prosthesis that receive support from the teeth are inside the prosthesis, they are much more aesthetic than hooked prostheses. Removable prostheses apply trauma to the teeth when they are inserted and removed and can cause melting in the jawbone. Therefore, dental implants should be placed into the jawbone in the absence of a large number of teeth.

Removable Prosthesis

These are the apparatuses that are used in the treatment of one or more missing teeth, which can be easily inserted and removed whenever the patient wants. They differ as total prosthesis, partial prosthesis, immediate prosthesis.

Total dentures are prostheses made of acrylic that are supported by the bone tissue remaining in the upper and lower jaw when there are no natural teeth left in your mouth.

Partial dentures are removable prostheses made in cases where some of the natural teeth are present and some of them have been extracted. These types of prostheses provide retention with crochet wires connected to the main teeth. Patients who think that this wire appearance is not aesthetic can have aesthetic prostheses with precision connection if the necessary conditions are present.

Immediate prostheses are prostheses that are prepared and inserted into the patient’s mouth in a short time without waiting for healing when all the main teeth are extracted, when the patient does not want to be toothless or when implants have been placed but a waiting period is required.

The best alternative to classical removable prostheses is implant-supported prostheses. With the implant process, both the retention and stability of the prostheses increase.

Implant Supported Prostheses:

It is a method applied in patients with missing teeth or completely toothless patients. This procedure can be easily applied in patients with sufficient tooth bone structure. The coating to be made on the implant can be made of various materials according to the patient’s request.

Implant-supported prostheses are prepared in smaller sizes compared to traditional prosthesis procedures.
This makes it easier for the patient to adapt to the prosthesis.
Prostheses made with implant support have a stronger resistance to chewing force.
