Causes of damage to prostheses
Such designs are a real salvation for many people in the world. They help to lead a normal life. After installing the prosthesis, the doctor makes recommendations and guarantees certain service life artificial teeth. In this matter, much depends on the material from which the dental structure is made.
Very often prostheses fail, and in most cases such an incident occurs at the wrong moment. There are several reasons for breakdowns:
- void formation during prosthetics;
- violations of the composition of the material in the manufacturing process;
- too long period of operation;
- the fall of the prosthesis on a hard surface;
- end of life.
If the dental structure breaks down, immediately a lot of problems , as well as defects formed on the structure. Chips and cracks appear on it, and the color of the teeth may also change. Often, breakage leads to the breaking of the base of the whole structure, the fixing elements break.
What to do in this situation?
It is best to immediately go to the dental clinic. Specialists will be able to quickly repair the product, then glue it with a special composition. If the design is not old, then it is best to do so or order a new one. Most often break products from acrylic. Breakdowns happen in the first year of their operation.
If the denture fails, not everyone can immediately order a new one or wait until it is restored, repaired. Many have a question, is it possible to glue the prosthesis with your own hands without the help of specialists and how to do it?
Such work is not recommended. Requires a certain knowledge, skills, availability of the necessary materials and conditions. The main reason why it is better not to repair artificial teeth yourself - manipulation can lead to deformation of the product. After this, it will be difficult to repair or impossible to repair the dental bridge.
How does the specialist perform the restoration?
After inspecting a broken denture, a dental technician determines the degree of damage. Then he will be able to choose the most suitable method of restoration. Two methods are used for this:
- laboratory;
- clinical.
Before you start repairing the product, it must be thoroughly cleaned. If this is not done, the adhesive composition will not be able to firmly glue the broken denture. For bonding using a special adhesive for the repair and restoration of dentures. The dental technician must ensure that the structure is completely sealed after gluing.
When there is too much damage, experts immediately propose to manufacture new teeth. Restorations and repairs are subject to products that have minor damage. It often happens that the breakdown consists in the loss of the support crown and it can be glued. If the structure has burst, then its parts are glued together and then soldered. The whole structure must be integrated into one and be free from defects.
A special glue is applied to the splitting places and after that the structure is filled with plaster. When it dries, the prosthesis is removed and divided along the gluing line.After that, the design is polished without touching the surface adjacent to the mucosa. Further acrylic plastic is used. It is applied on artificial teeth and after hardening it is polished and polished.
Only a dental technician will be able to perform quality repair work on the prosthesis. He has the necessary tools and materials for this. The specialist will not only be able to repair the prosthesis, he will also return the original color to the product. Due to the use of dye products over time, the denture darkens. The master without damage will return him a beautiful look.
Not all products can be fixed. This is due to the material from which it was made. Repair not subject to:
- stamped products;
- structures that do not contain metal.
Independent restoration
At home, you can not perform high-quality repairs prosthesis. It will not be possible to fix the place of adhesion correctly, since there is no special adhesive composition. is he does not cause an allergic reaction. They are specially designed for dental work. The use of glue for domestic use will lead to allergies and may even cause intoxication of the body.
If, after all, repairs for some reason need to be done independently, the result will be short-term and of dubious quality. For home restoration of teeth, you can use wax and glue from the pharmacy:
Protefiks - used for all types of crowns, it has no contraindications and side effects, is the most budgetary option and allows you to quickly glue artificial teeth;
Korega - it can be called emergency help, but only temporary, so that in case of emergency it is necessary to glue together a cracked crown, a tooth;
R. O C. S . - European-made adhesive for gluing dental structure. It is created for those who do not have the opportunity to quickly visit a dental technician or have no money for the restoration of teeth.
If you need to do the repair yourself follow a number of rules:
-
remove from the prosthesis remnants of the old composition for fixation, using special cleansing and dissolving agents; - after cleaning, rinse the denture in running water and dry thoroughly so that it does not have any residual moisture that will adversely affect the adhesion;
- glue is applied dotted in small quantities and after that the prosthesis is put in its place;
- All work needs to be done with extreme precision and after installing the dental structure, firmly squeeze the jaw for 1 minute to glue better;
- Do not drink and eat at least 45 minutes after fixation.
Such a method using pharmaceutical glue will help solve the problem for a short time. It is better to visit the dental clinic in time, where they will be able to restore the denture qualitatively. Independent restoration of teeth leads to unpleasant consequences. After such a repair, there may be discomfort during operation, the final breakdown of artificial teeth and even worse - the deformation of the bite.
