Alternatives to Implant Restorations • Replacement of the missing tooth or teeth by a tooth-supported fixed bridge. Natural teeth next to the toothless space are used to support a bridge, which is cemented into place and is non-removable. This procedure requires drilling the natural teeth to properly shape them to support the fixed bridge. • Replacement of the missing tooth or teeth by a removable partial denture or full denture. Partial and full dentures are removed from the mouth for cleaning. They are supported by the remaining teeth and bone and retained by the remaining teeth, cheeks, lips, and tongue.

  • Important Information About Complete Dentures University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics
    Important Information About Complete Dentures University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics Time Frame The College of Dentistry does not fabricate one appointment, same day dentures. I understand that at least 6-8 appointments will be required to fabricate my dentures. If there have been recent extractions, I understand that denture fabrication will not begin until a minimum of 8 weeks following tooth removal to allow for adequate healing time. Additional appointments may be required for relines or remakes. I understand that dentures fabricated sooner than 6 months post-extraction have an increased risk for remake and not just reline (refit) due to patient-specific bone changes. Possible Delays I am aware that delays in the fabrication and delivery of my dentures may be due to: • The need for additional healing time (8 weeks or more is the recommended healing time) due to my own individual healing response • The need for additional surgeries to shape the bone, which will require additional healing time • Holidays and academic breaks • Scheduling conflicts Difficulties and Problems with Wearing Dentures The difficulties and problems associated with wearing dentures have been presented to me, along with my treatment plan. I understand that each person is unique and success with dentures cannot be compared to others’ denture experiences. These issues include, but are not limited to: • Difficulties with speaking and/or eating • Food under dentures • Functional problems: It is the patient’s responsibility to learn to manage their dentures to become successful with eating and speaking. Abnormal tongue position or tongue movements during speech or non-functional habits will generally cause an unstable lower denture.

  • A Guide to the Clinical Management of Attrition
    Tooth Wear Themed Issue PRACTICE A guide to the clinical management of attrition J. S. Rees*1 and S. Somi2 Key points Discusses aetiology of attrition. Discusses signs and symptoms of attrition. Discusses clinical management of attrition including adhesive and conventional techniques. Attrition is an enigmatic condition often found in older individuals and often as a result of bruxism which can take place as a result of either day bruxism, night bruxism or both. Various studies and systemic reviews clearly shown that tooth wear is an age-related phenomena and the last Adult Dental Health Survey showed that 15% of participants showed moderate wear and 3% severe wear with 80% of patients over 50 years of age showing signs of wear. This review examines current theories around the aetiological factors contributing to attrition together with the clinical management of attrition focusing on minimal intervention where possible. Introduction Attrition is formally defined as the loss of tooth substance caused by tooth-to-tooth contact so although it is predominantly seen occlusally, attrition can also occur interproximally as lateral movement of the teeth produces broader 1 interproximal contacts over time (Fig. 1). Fig. 1 Examples of attrition Typically, this type of wear is seen as marked wear facets with complimentary wear facets being seen in the upper and lower jaws. In very general a canine guided occlusion to a group function Symptoms terms, patients often tend to brux in an anterior/ type occlusion, once wear of the canines allows • Tooth grinding at night posterior direction or in a lateral direction.

  • Dental Implants Compared to Dentures and Bridges
    Dental Implants Compared To Bridges and Dentures Benefits of implants over other cosmetic procedures Many adults face the problem of missing teeth. For years, dentures and bridges were the treatment of choice and patients had to come to terms with the often painful, embarrassing, and uncomfortable results. Dental implants offer a more natural, comfortable and long-term alternative that you should consider. Dental implants vs. traditional dental bridge A single dental implant is now considered the standard of care for those missing a single tooth. Unfortunately, most dentists are not trained in the placement of dental implants, so the most commonly used solution is a fixed dental bridge. This approach involves grinding down the two surrounding healthy teeth, so that they may act as anchors for a three-unit bridge (three artificial teeth) that is then cemented onto the two surrounding teeth. The damage to the structure of the surrounding teeth is permanent. Further, statistics reveal that these damaged teeth eventually fail due to the stresses placed on them by the bridge. The result is the eventual loss of those teeth and an even longer bridge. A single dental implant offers a vastly superior solution because it restores the lost tooth root, and surrounding healthy teeth remain unharmed. Your natural tooth root helps maintain bone density, but when you have the unfortunate occurrence of losing a tooth, the bone will deteriorate overtime. 101 N. Pointe Blvd. Suite 201 Lancaster PA 17601 717.581.0123 | [email protected] Since dental implants integrate with existing bone, your jaw structure remains intact and your oral health is preserved.

  • Gold in Dentistry: Alloys, Uses and Performance
    Gold in Dentistry: Introduction Gold is the oldest dental restorative material, having been used for dental repairs for more than 4000 years. These early Alloys, Uses and dental applications were based on aesthetics, rather than masticatory ability. The early Phoenicians used gold wire to Performance bind teeth, and subsequently, the Etruscans and then the Romans introduced the art of making fixed bridges from gold strip. During the Middle Ages these techniques were lost, and only rediscovered in a modified form in the middle of the Helmut Knosp, nineteenth century.
