The peculiarity of dental bridges is that the gap is bridged with pontics, or dummy teeth. Dental bridges are used for replacing one or several missing teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Dental bridges can be fitted only if there are teeth on each side of the empty space, serving to anchor the false tooth in place. The adjacent anchoring teeth undergo reduction and crowns are placed over them.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge is then anchored on the crowns, and thus replaces the missing teeth. <strong>Dental bridges<\/strong> are fabricated indirectly, in a dental laboratory.<\/p>\n<p><em>Design and placement of dental bridges involves the following stages:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>1. Teeth preparation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A porcelain fused metal crown is 1.4-1.7 mm thick, that is why tooth size must be decreased. The tooth is reduced on all sides, so that the crown, after its placement, can restore shape of the original teeth in a correct alignment and contact with the opposing teeth. Tooth preparation is done under anaesthesia.<\/p>\n<p>When preparing tooth for a crown, the dentist tries not only to reduce its size but also gives it a particular shape. Apart from reshaping, special shoulder is made in cervical part.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>2. Strengthening of tooth stump.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before tooth preparation for crown placement is started, there is often a need for preliminary procedures, like tooth restoration with a pin-retained filling or a cast inlay.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>3. Gum retraction and impression tray selection.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A special technique is employed to get a good tooth impression \u2013 gum retraction. A thin retraction cord, soaked in a special medical solution, is placed in the sulcus (between the gum tissue and your tooth structure) for 10-15 minutes. It makes it possible to pull back the gum tissue for a small period of time so that the dentist can take an impression which will accurately reflect the condition of your teeth. Next, a suitable impression tray is selected.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>4. Making an impression of the teeth.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To accurately model the future crown, taking into consideration both the adjacent and opposing teeth, the dentist makes an impression of not only the causative tooth but also the opposing jaw. Modern dental putty is easy to use and causes discomfort to neither the dentist nor the patient.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5. Making models.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The impression is sent to the dental laboratory, where a plaster casting is made. This casting is a precise model of your teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>6. Fabrication of temporary crowns<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Temporary crowns are fabricated for the time until the permanent custom-made crowns are ready.<\/p>\n<p>Temporary crowns are necessary to protect your teeth from any harmful exposure (for example, extreme temperatures, if the tooth is still vital) and allow for faster gum healing and restoration of aesthetic look.<\/p>\n<p>Crowns are normally fabricated from a composite. Depending on the given clinical case, they are either fabricated by the dentist or in a dental laboratory. A temporary crown will usually be cemented in place with soft temporary dental cement. This allows easy removal at your next visit to the dentist.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>7. Colour check.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Using a special shade guide, your teeth colour is identified and this being considered the shade of your future crown is chosen.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em> 8. Crown fitting<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em> At this stage, the dentist needs to check the following:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>that the crown fits correctly, that is totally caps the tooth,<\/li>\n<li>that it doesn\u2019t affect patient\u2019s bite,<\/li>\n<li>shape and colour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After all the checks are finished the dentist will demonstrate the achieved result to you and ask about your opinion.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em> 9. Crown placement.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are happy with the restoration and how it looks, the crown is cemented onto tooth. The special cement used for this is placed inside the crown which is then placed over the tooth. Excessive cement is removed using a special tool.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Removable partial denture<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Removable partial denture<\/strong> is the principal teeth replacement technique if there is lack of required teeth to serve as support for a bridge (one or both sides), if a big number of teeth or all of them are missing.<\/p>\n<p>Laminar denture \u2013 fixed behind teeth with hooks.<\/p>\n<p>Clasp-retained denture \u2013 fixed with clasps (snap attachment).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Laminates Laminates are fabricated from porcelain indirectly, in the dental laboratory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[12],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/your-brilliant-smile.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1011"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/your-brilliant-smile.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/your-brilliant-smile.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/your-brilliant-smile.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/your-brilliant-smile.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1011"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/your-brilliant-smile.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1011\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1018,"href":"https:\/\/your-brilliant-smile.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1011\/revisions\/1018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/your-brilliant-smile.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/your-brilliant-smile.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/your-brilliant-smile.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
