Why are teeth being destroyed?
There are a lot of reasons due to which teeth are destroyed. Most often, dental damage occurs due to a variety of internal and external factors, including the following:
-
caries; - cleavage of the dental walls;
- a seal that has fallen out;
- tooth injury;
- increased surface abrasion;
- mechanical or thermal effects on tooth enamel;
- poor hygiene oral cavity;
- impaired metabolism;
- poor and inadequate nutrition.
In most dentists, doctors recommend the tooth restoration procedure even when the chip went very far under gum. If the dental roots are broken, then they can not be restored.
If only part of the tooth is damaged or lost, you should visit the dentistry as early as possible in order not to get into the mouth cavity a source of infections that can cause periodontitis. In addition, the neighboring teeth will not be supported by anything and the support in the direction of emptiness results in an almost incurable dental defect.
Ways to restore teeth
When the tooth enamel is destroyed in whole or in part and the tooth nerves are removed, but you do not want to remove the tooth itself, you can restore it. Despite the fact that teeth, whose channels are sealed, in dentistry are regarded as inanimate, they can still be restored provided there is a good closure of entrances to the dental canals. Also, recovery should not entail problems such as dental cysts or granulomas.
Even if only the root remains, restoration is a much better solution to the problem than implantation or the installation of a bridge.
In total, dentistry uses three ways to restore teeth:
- crown;
- pin filling;
- tab or tooth on the pin.
The dental pin is an orthopedic rod-like construction that serves as a support for damaged or destroyed teeth and is fixed in the root canals.
What is a dental pin and in which cases it is installed?
Dental pins are installed only when its installation is the only way to solve the problem. Pins differ in the materials used, installation methods and their purpose. The key advantage of pin installation is that it is possible to save a badly damaged tooth.
There are the following types of pins:
- fiberglass;
- anchor;
- carbon fiber;
- in the form of kul tabs;
- parapulpar.
The installation of dental pins is carried out on the basis of the following dental indications:
- if the coronal part of the tooth is more than half destroyed;
- if there is no dental crown;
- in order to create a support when installing dentures removable and non-removable design.
The advantages of installing pins are quite obvious: the pin helps to restore the tooth and restore its aesthetic appearance, and thanks to the pins there is no need to remove a destroyed tooth. In addition, dental pins help restore lost functions broken teeth.
How is the procedure for installing the pin?
The whole procedure consists of preparation, the installation itself and rehabilitation measures. So, preparation includes measures for the preparation of the affected dental tissue for installation. For this drill removes dead areas of dental tissue and only live and healthy ones are left. After that, the doctor takes a special nozzle and with their help makes holes for the installation of the pin. Note that the patient has there should be no problems with dental rootsotherwise the procedure cannot be performed.
The installation of the pin itself begins with the attachment of the internal core of the pin to the bone tissue of the tooth, and its outer part will be used for the restoration of the dental crown. Next, the doctor releases the patient, and the next day he comes back to the doctor to check the reliability of the installation. For this, the patient must reduce teeth, and tooth with pin should not touch reciprocal from the opposite side of the jaw. If necessary, grinding is carried out.
After that, the doctor releases the patient and the rehabilitation period begins. At this time, very close attention should be paid to the place where the pin was installed. If there is any defect, then you need to immediately consult a doctorwho installed it.
In no case should we ignore the doctor’s recommendations, should we take the medicines prescribed by him, follow a diet that excludes solid foods, since such food can damage the mucous membrane and cause complications. We must not forget about the elementary rules of personal hygiene of the mouth during this period in order to prevent inflammation. After brushing, they should be rinsed with water or herbs prescribed by a doctor.
Instead of toothpicks, use dental floss, and also visit dentistry with a preventive visit at least once every six months.
Contraindications to the procedure
Installing pins on the teeth is contraindicated in the following cases:
- if the patient has blood disorders;
- if the patient does not have dental crowns on the front of the teeth;
- granuloma diseases of the nervous system;
- if a person suffers from periodontal disease, cyst, caries or in some cases;
- if the length of the dental root is less than the estimated crown;
- if at the root of the tooth the walls are less than two millimeters thick.
Sometimes installing a pin can cause a number of complications to the patient’s health. For example, severe pain at the installation site, inflammation or swelling, or periodontitis is observed.
Thus, pain can be triggered by a deep entry of the pin rod into the root canal due to an allergy to the material from which the pin was made. Allergies can be accompanied by stomatitis, hyperemia and affect the general condition of the person. In all such cases, you should immediately see a doctor.
Many patients are interested in prices for the installation of pins and how they are formed. So, pin prices depend on dentistry, the level of professionalism of the doctor himself, as well as the material used.
However, it is worth noting that if the installation was carried out correctly, then, regardless of the price and material, the patient will not have any unpleasant consequences of the procedure.
