Indications for complete dental prosthetics

Let's look at the main reasons for full dental prosthetics:

  1. Destruction of the upper part of the tooth, for example, due to extensive caries
  2. Total destruction of the upper part of the tooth
  3. Pathological abrasion of teeth
  4. Absence of teeth

The indication for the service of full dental prosthetics is the total absence of all units.

Indications for complete dental prosthetics

Removable dentures installed in the complete absence of teeth

Removable dentures include dentures that are easy to remove and put on by yourself.

Acrylic dentures

These are dental transplants made of acrylic plastic.

Advantages of acrylic prosthetics:

  • Acrylic dentures are significantly cheaper than structures made of other materials
  • They last up to 8-9 years
  • Acrylic retains its color and shape
  • The low weight of the material reduces pressure on the gums
  • Transplants are easy to make and repair in dentistry and laboratories

Acrylic dentures also have their drawback - the porosity of the material, which creates conditions for the development of infections.

Nylon dentures

This is a type of dental implants made of nylon, a highly elastic material.

Advantages of nylon dentures:

  • Transplants are resistant to deformation
  • Transparent material matches well with the natural color of the oral mucosa
  • The absence of methyl methacrylate eliminates the risk of allergic reactions to the material

Dentures can cost more than traditional implants due to the complexity of processing nylon.

Acry Free

This is the name of a type of thermoplastic patented by the Israeli company Perflex.

Advantages of removable Acry Free implants for prosthetics in the complete absence of teeth:

  • Do not cause allergies or irritation of the mucous membrane
  • Thinner and more comfortable compared to acrylic dentures
  • Resistant to breakage, easy to repair
  • More hygienic, since the material has no pores

The main disadvantage of Acry Free dentures is that the chewing load is distributed mainly on the gums.

Fixed dentures on implants

Prosthetics using fixed structures in case of total edentia is one of the most reliable methods of restoring teeth.

All-on-4 Implantation

All-on-4 prosthetics is a method of restoring teeth using four implants, on which a bridge prosthesis is installed.

Advantages of All-on-4:

  • Minimally invasive prosthetics technique, allowing implantation to be carried out immediately after the removal of units
  • Possibility of installing a prosthesis on the day of surgery
  • Long service life of the structure - up to 25 years

The disadvantage of this method of implantation is the always affordable price of full dental prosthetics.

All-on-6 Implantation

All-on-6 prosthetics is a surgical procedure in which a dental prosthesis is held on six dental implants.

Advantages of All-on-6 prosthetics:

  • Replacement of up to 14 teeth, which returns chewing ability
  • You can install implants on the same day when teeth were removed
  • Nobel Biocare products serve for more than 25 years without complications

Such prosthetics in the complete absence of teeth has a high price due to the complexity of implementation and the quality of the materials used.

Basal implantation

The prosthetic technique involves the implantation of artificial root elements into the deepest part of the bone tissue located in the jaw area.

Advantages of basal implantation:

  • In most cases, additional bone augmentation can be avoided
  • The procedure is performed in one stage
  • Temporary dentures can be installed 2-3 days after surgery

The method is rarely used to restore one tooth, usually it requires the installation of two or more implants.

Zygomatic implantation

This is a surgical procedure for installing dental implants in the zygomatic bone. Such a prosthesis is used when traditional implantation is not possible.

Advantages of zygomatic prosthetic technology:

  • Dense zygomatic bone is used, which reduces the complexity of the procedure
  • The service life of the prostheses can exceed 20 years
  • Implantation and subsequent rehabilitation take less time than with traditional methods

But the high cost of implantation makes it inaccessible to some patients.

Conditionally removable dentures

There are also dental prostheses that the patient cannot remove independently, but in a clinic the structure is easily removed. Thanks to this, it becomes possible to carry out various hygienic and medical procedures.

General information about the procedure

Advantages and disadvantages of implantation

Full jaw prosthetics in the absence of teeth, despite the high price, has many advantages:

  1. After installing the prosthesis on the implant, it looks like a real tooth
  2. During the installation process, the adjacent teeth remain intact
  3. Implants allow you to confidently eat food without pain and fear of damaging the prosthesis
  4. Caring for prostheses is no different from caring for your own teeth

The main disadvantages include the high cost of the procedure and the presence of individual contraindications.

Stages of total prosthetics

In case of total loss of units, prosthetics of the complete absence of teeth on implants is performed in stages:

  • Implants are implanted into the bone located in the jaw area
  • Immediately after, an abutment is installed, to which a temporary prosthesis is attached

After 4-6 months, which are required to complete the osseointegration process, a permanent prosthesis replaces the temporary prosthesis.

Features of installing dentures on the upper and lower jaw

Comparison of implantation on the upper and lower jaws:

Category Lower jaw Upper jaw
Features High bone density due to heavy chewing load Low bone density
With bone deficiency Inflammation of missing bone tissue Sinus lift or long screw implants
Integration time 4 months Up to 8 months
Number of implants Usually 4 Usually 6

Answers to popular questions

Doctors from K+31 (Moscow) answered the most common questions about full jaw prosthetics.

Will I have to remain without teeth after installing implants?

"It is not necessary to remain without units immediately after installing dentures. To maintain the aesthetic appearance and functionality, temporary removable implants can be used. Temporary dentures are attached to the gums using a suction cup or can be fixed with special hooks to the remaining natural teeth."

Can I have rhinoplasty if I have dental implants?

"Yes, rhinoplasty is possible even if you have dental implants. There are certain risks, but they can be minimized with the right preparatory approach."

What types of dentures are best to choose if you have no teeth at all?

In case of complete loss of units, clinics usually use complete removable implants. However, it is preferable to install implants on which such a removable prosthesis can then be fixed.
