When is prosthetics performed?

This method is relevant against the background of severe tooth decay. The crown helps distribute the chewing load and prevent further destruction of the chewing element.

Prosthetics are performed after pulp removal. The fact is that a tooth without a nerve becomes more fragile, and the crown protects it from the penetration of bacteria. In addition, the denture helps restore the correct shape of the chewing element and protects it from further wear.

Contraindications

One of the contraindications for installation is a pathological bite. If contact is observed only on 2-3 chewing elements, orthodontic treatment is performed first. After straightening the teeth, you can begin prosthetics.

Also, the installation of crowns is not recommended in cases where the space for their placement is limited.

Varieties

Often in dentistry, prostheses for chewing teeth made of zirconium dioxide are used. Their production involves the use of CAD/CAM technologies. They allow doctors and technicians to accurately scan a patient's mouth, create 3D models and then produce dentures using specialized milling machines.

The choice of crown type depends on the location of the tooth, the functional requirements of the design, and patient preference.

Crowns installed on chewing teeth are:

  • Ceramic They imitate natural teeth, are resistant to cracks and are suitable for chewing hard foods
  • Metal-ceramic These crowns combine the strength of a metal base with the aesthetics of a ceramic coating
  • Metal Such crowns tolerate chewing load well
General information about the procedure

Stages of installing crowns on chewing teeth

Prosthetics in the absence of chewing teeth begins with consultation with a specialist. The doctor examines the oral cavity, evaluates the condition of the oral cavity and discusses the crown material with the patient.

Further steps:

  1. Preparation of the oral cavity. First, a specialist removes plaque and treats caries and pulpitis. If necessary, canals are filled and pulped
  2. Formation of the base for the crown. The dentist carefully grinds down the top layer of the tooth and forms a stump for the crown. In some cases, the installation of stump inlays or implants is required
  3. Crown making and fitting. A dental technician creates a crown using an impression of the tooth. Then the fitting is carried out. This is required to ensure that the crown is the correct size and shape
  4. Fixation. The doctor attaches the crown to the tooth using special dental cement

After installing a crown, it is important to visit the dentist regularly (once a quarter). This is required to monitor the condition of the prosthesis and surrounding tissues.

Care for artificial crowns

In order for artificial crowns to last as long as possible, it is important to properly care for them. Here are some recommendations:

  • Monitor the condition of your oral cavity. Brush your teeth after every meal. Use the technique of sweeping movements: for the upper teeth - from top to bottom, for the lower teeth - from bottom to top
  • Avoid dental floss and brushes in the crown area. The use of these products may damage the gums in the denture area
  • Use an irrigator. It helps to effectively remove food debris and plaque in hard-to-reach places

Also, avoid hard foods, which can damage crowns, and drinks that are too hot or cold, which can cause cracks in the porcelain. Avoid smoking: Tobacco smoke can change the color of your crowns.

Negative consequences of installing crowns on chewing teeth

The main complication is gum damage. This is possible due to improper installation of the prosthesis. Also likely to appear:

  • Diseases of the oral cavity. If dentures are installed incorrectly or put strong pressure on the gums, there is a risk of developing stomatitis and gingivitis
  • Caries under the crown. It develops if the teeth are not prepared properly
  • Allergic reactions. Some denture materials (such as acrylic) can cause severe allergies. It manifests itself as swelling of the gums, itching, and in severe cases, swelling of the larynx
  • Galvanic currents. The use of various metals in dentures causes discomfort in the mouth (in particular, a metallic taste) and even headaches
  • Chips and cracks. Damage to dentures is caused by improper loading on them

In case of any complications, you should contact your dentist. Depending on the situation, the specialist will correct or replace the prosthesis.
