In today's dental prosthetics, three methods are being widely used: removable dentures, bridges and implants. Each technique has different characteristics and properties. Based on the medical condition, the condition itself that the patient will make the appropriate choice. Implant implants or denture implants are always disturbed by many patients.
Teeth restoration methods
Removable dentures are used instead of missing teeth, multiple teeth or entire jaw. A removable denture consisting of a jaw and gum resting on top.
- Bridges are the method applied to cases of loss of one or more teeth. To implement this technique requires the doctor to grind 2 real teeth next to missing teeth to make the bridge for the bridge.
Implant implants are considered advanced techniques, indicated for cases of loss of 1, multiple teeth or full jaw. Implant implants use titanium metal studs implanted into the jawbone. After about 1 to 6 months when the implant is fixed in the bone, the doctor will restore the porcelain tooth.
Should dental implants or removable denture?
Removable dentures and bridges are considered quite traditional methods because they have been widely applied in dentistry for a long time. However, they themselves carry some advantages and disadvantages:
Dental bridge
- Bridges for aesthetic and chewing good performance compared to real teeth so the patient is more convenient to use than the denture. However, this prosthesis itself has a major disadvantage when it requires real teeth next to the missing teeth to bridge the abutment, affecting the physiological tooth, even causing damage to the pulp if the doctor is not stable. workmanship.
Besides, the life of the bridge depends on the health of the two teeth. It may be after a period of use, these teeth show signs of weakening the bridges will also be shaken, no quality assurance as initially. Therefore, patients also need dental restoration or correction.
Implant implants are considered an important achievement in the field of dentistry, overcome the disadvantages of the two methods.
- Implant teeth reach the same chewing force as real teeth. As a method of restoration of both the missing legs and crowns, implant teeth are made of physiological, durable and fixed teeth in the jaw bone so the patient's eating habits are also better.
- The implant in the jaw bone acts as the real root of the teeth so it can effectively prevent bone loss and preserve bone integrity. This is a remarkable advantage over the above two methods.
- Removable dentures with natural degradation of plastic, bridges can be weakened by the degradation of the teeth, so the lifespan of these two restorations is not high. Meanwhile, implant life is estimated to be over 20 years, even higher if the patient knows how to take good oral care.
Note: the efficacy of the treatment can vary depending on each patient’s condition.
