• DENTAL IMPLANTS.

CROWN AND BRIDGES :

CROWNS :
WHAT IS IT ?

• Dental crowns are tooth shaped cap, placed on the tooth to restore the lost shape, size and appearance of the tooth.
• It also increases the strength of the tooth and make it function normally.

WHEN IT IS USED ?

• To strengthen the teeth after perform in RCT.
• To restore the tooth that cannot be done by dental filling.
• To protect the teeth from fracturing due to trauma.
• In bridge cases, crowns are required in adjacent teeth.
• In discolored tooth due to intrinsic stain which cannot be removed by scaling.

BRIDGES :

WHAT IS IT AND WHEN IT IS USED ?

• Bridges replace missing teeth.
• It uses the support of adjacent teeth to replace the missing teeth.
• Dental bridge consists of crown on adjacent teeth and an artificial tooth that replaces the missing teeth.

TYPES OF CROWNS :

METAL CROWN :

• Long term and durable.
• Can withstand heavy biting force.
• Since its not similar to natural teeth color, it can only be used in molars.

PORCELAIN-FUSED TO METAL CROWN :

• In this type, porcelain is fused with metal that improves the aesthetic outcome.
• Porcelain outside matches the adjacent tooth color and metal inside provides strength.
• Since its not similar to natural teeth color, it can only be used in molars.

CERAMIC CROWN :

• In this type, there is no metal involved in crown but it has the same strength as that of metal.
• Matches the adjacent tooth color and improves aesthetics.

E-MAX CROWN :

• It is a special type of crown made from lithium disilicate material.

• Higher strength.
• Slightly translucent and hence come closest to matching your teeth color.

DENTURES :

WHAT IS IT ?

• Dentures are oral appliance that replace missing teeth which are removable.
• There are three types dentures that include complete, partial and implant supported dentures.
• They are made up of different materials like acrylic, resin, nylon and porcelain.

TYPES OF DENTURES ?

COMPLETE DENTURES :

• These are oral appliances that replace an entire arch of missing teeth.

PARTIAL DENTURES :

• These are oral appliances that replaces the missing teeth surrounded by natural teeth.

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURES :

• These are oral appliance that are non-removable and are attached to dental implants placed in your jaw bones.

DENTAL IMPLANTS :

WHAT IS IT ?

Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth usually made from titanium that are surgically placed into your upper or lower jaw bone. After placing the implant, the implantologist will attach a crown( artificial teeth) on top of implant.

TYPES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS :

SINGLE DENTAL IMPLANT :

• This type of implants is used to replace single or few missing teeth.

ALL-ON-4 DENTAL IMPLANTS :

• This type of implant is used in cases when most or all teeth are missing.
• 4 implants are placed in positions within jaw bone to support entire arch prosthesis.

ALL-ON- 6 DENTAL IMPLANTS :

• Similar to All-on-4, six implants are placed which provide stable solution for extensive bone loss.
