Today, nylon prostheses are used with great success for removable dental prosthetics. Nylon is used in dentistry relatively recently and is a good alternative to toxic acrylic. With the help of nylon products you can successfully restore the dentition, while not creating an additional load on the teeth. The price of nylon prostheses is significantly lower than the cost of implants. In addition, patients about them leave mostly positive reviews.

What are nylon prostheses?
Nylon used in dentistry should not be confused with all known fabrics. Very flexible and soft medical material. more like silicone. It is made from it only the basis of the product, which for aesthetics is painted in pink. The scale of shades is wide, so for each patient it is possible to choose a prosthesis with the most accurate color of his oral mucosa.
To reduce the weight of the structure used crowns made of light ceramic. All hooks and other fasteners are also made of nylon. If a soft prosthesis will be made for the entire dentition, the hooks on it will not be attached. It should have a “sucker” effect, tightly covering the entire arc. By the end of life, the degree of fixation gradually decreases. In this case, to ensure reliable attachment, you can use special gels and creams.
There are several types of nylon prostheses:
- On one tooth. With the help of the product, you can restore one tooth without turning adjacent ones.
- Full removable. The design compensates for the loss of all teeth.
- Partial removable. The prosthesis is used to restore several teeth.
Initially, nylon prostheses in American clinics were used to temporarily replace the dentition. But many of the advantages of structures made them popular, and they began to be used as permanent prostheses.
Benefits of Nylon Prostheses
The advantages of dental structures made of nylon include:
-
flexibility and softness of the material - the elastic design will not damage the soft tissues of the oral cavity; - restoration of any number of teeth;
- hypoallergenic material;
- excellent aesthetics - artificial gums and crowns look like natural ones;
- recommended for both adult patients and children;
- possible use in patients with sensitive gums;
- reliable fixation in the oral cavity;
- easy care;
- no need to grind adjacent teeth;
- soft construction does not deform or break.
Nylon products can not be removed at night. They have long service lifeduring which they do not lose their color and shape.
disadvantages
The disadvantages of dentures made of nylon are many:
- Prosthetic design must be repeatedly adjusted.
- The roughness of the product leads to the accumulation of microbial plaque on its surface. Therefore, the design should be carefully maintained.
- Elastic frame can be deformed when chewing loads.
- Improper distribution of chewing pressure can lead to atrophy or injury to bone tissue and gums.
- The price of the product exceeds the cost of the clasp and plastic dentures.
With poor care under the prosthesis inflammatory process may develop. Therefore, the product should be cleaned daily with special pastes and brushes and regularly disinfected with special products.
Prosthetic process
Nylon products are manufactured and installed as follows:
-
The doctor examines and prepares the patient’s oral cavity for prosthetics. If necessary, the teeth and canals are filled, inflammatory processes are treated. - The dentist takes a snapshot of the jaw and gives it to the laboratory to make a dental construction.
- First, the plaster model is cast, on which the wax product is made.
- A wax model is tried on the patient and returned to the vehicle.
- In a special thermopress a nylon prosthesis is made.
- Prosthetics are performed, during which the doctor adjusts and fixes the structure in the patient’s oral cavity.
Is there a ban on dentures made of nylon in other countries?
It is rumored that nylon prostheses are banned in Europe. In fact, this is a myth that is gaining increasing popularity. Leading researchers and doctors in Europe, Canada and the United States are constantly conducting tests of material for compatibility with the human body. The result was a developed quality standard by which nylon prostheses are manufactured with a certain stiffness. During the research it was found that in many clinical cases, dental structures made of nylon are best suited.
Cost of nylon prostheses
The price of nylon dental constructions depends on their type and clinic. The full removable construction in Moscow on average costs from 20,000 to 60,000 rubles. Prices for partially removable products - from 10 000 to 42 000 rubles. Cost of micro prostheses from 4 500 to 15 000 rubles.
Patient Reviews
I needed to restore two teeth. For health reasons, the implantation was denied to me, but I didn’t want to grind the healthy teeth under the bridge. Therefore, I opted for a nylon microprosthesis. There are no metal hooks on it, and it looks great. But in ten months I was not used to the design, and all the time I feel it in my mouth.
I could not keep my teeth, so I had to do prosthetics. And now more than a year on my jaws are nylon prostheses. In my case, this is the best that one could count on. They beautiful and lightand it is even impossible to believe that these are not my teeth. In the morning I put them on the gel and the envy of everyone sparkle with a Hollywood smile. They say that dental constructions made of nylon can not be removed at night, but I do not like to leave them.
For half a year I have been wearing a partially removable denture. There are no complaints about the construction itself, but suddenly a healthy tooth began to ache, for which the clasp is attached. The dentist revealed that he had damaged the enamel, because of which the tooth began to react to sweet and sour food, temperature fluctuations and even touch. The doctor gave me the procedure of tooth fluoridation and nothing else bothers me. I am very pleased with the nylon designs and in my review I want to advise them to all those who need to carry out prosthetic teeth.
It so happened that only incisors remained from the lower front teeth. I wanted to put implants, but the price for them scared away. They were expensive, plus the cost of the operation. The doctor advised me to a nylon denture. At first he could not decide on him. Still, I'm still a young man, and here at night my teeth will need to be put on a shelf. But the dentist convinced me that it was not necessary to remove the structure for the night. It is enough only after eating to take it out and rinse.
I got used to a foreign body in my mouth for several days. At night, I wanted to take it off so that my mouth could rest. But it was impossible to do this. The habit was formed in a few days, and after a month it seemed that the teeth were native. In the first days after prosthetics couldn't even speak properly. Adapted in about a week.New teeth do not have the sharpness of natural teeth, but they quite cope with apples and meat. Therefore, if it so happens that you have lost your native teeth, then a nylon prosthesis will be the best way out. The fact that it is removable, except for you and your dentist, no one will know.
I wear nylon artificial limbs for almost three years. At first they were tightly dressed, but it should be so. After installing the first construction, for some reason, it hung out, and I started gag reflex. I could not wear it. As a result, the remaining teeth had an increased load, and I had to remove some more weakened teeth. I decided to change the dentist, which I am very pleased about. The new doctor put me another design, which I still wear. The difference is very tangible, I absolutely do not feel it. True, after three years she has weakened a little, and is no longer so tightly removed and dressed.
When I was twenty years old, I lost my front tooth. Instead, she put a beautiful crown of metal-ceramic, and thought I would forget about it until old age. But ten years later, the root cracked, and the crown was nothing to hold. To cope with my problem, the doctor suggested that I choose one of three options. I refused to put a dental implant at a price of one thousand dollars. I know that the periosteum into which the implant is implanted collapses with time and will need to be increased. I did not want a bridge of three crowns, as it was necessary to grind two adjacent teeth. I was satisfied with the third option - a nylon mini dental prosthesis.
Removable design I have been wearing for four years. Do not think that it should be removed at night and put in a bowl of water. Caring for an artificial tooth is very easy. Every day it needs to be cleaned with a toothbrush and soap. It should be careful that the mini-prosthesis does not slip out of the hands, and did not fall into the drain. It is fastened with the help of "ears" from the inside in the sky and in front of the gum. Looks like a segment of tooth and gum. Unfortunately, when making a nylon product it wasn’t perfect in the color of my teeth, but it is almost imperceptible.
Over time, the design has become loose, and now during a strong exhalation it can fly out. But for their better fixation, there are many different tools that I use. The fact that in my mouth a denture made of nylon does not guess anyone. I am more or less pleased with them.
My husband has been wearing a US-made nylon dental unit for four years. He barely takes it off and is very pleased. Only after each meal rinses and puts on again. However, in the first days the prosthesis rubbed the gums. The husband turned to a specialist, and it turned out that the product was simply poorly polished. When it was corrected, the discomfort disappeared. Now everything is all right.
On the right side of the lower jaw, I did not have several teeth. I decided to put a nylon prosthesis, which is very happy. As soon as the doctor put it on me, I immediately felt that I was missing my teeth. The design was adjusted to me in such a way that it seemed as if my native teeth had grown anew. The only thing that bothered was too tight clummer. Because of him, I could not get my teeth off myself. I had to go to the doctor who coped with my problem in just a few minutes. Now I wear an artificial limb, and I easily remove it to clean it.
During pregnancy, with the lower jaw lost almost half of the teeth. Long thought that instead of them put, and decided on a partial nylon prosthesis. I didn’t really want to install it, and, apparently, for good reason. At first, the structure was corrected for a long time, and it was hardly adjusted as it should As a result of this, practically only rags remained of it, and the prosthesis became impossible to polish. The price is not small, so I can not replace it. In general, one disorder.
For a year and a half, I never got used to my new nylon teeth. They sit well, and the quality is excellent.But I still wear them only during the meal. From the design I have discomfort, even a little nauseated.
