What are the hazards of full porcelain teeth?

There are many advantages of full porcelain teeth, such as beautiful appearance and long service life, but if the operation is not done properly, the harm to the patient cannot be ignored. For example, oral health is not easy to maintain, infection is prone to occur, secondary dental diseases, gum atrophy, and porcelain tooth materials are prone to allergies, etc. Therefore, you must be cautious in the selection process. Only the one that suits you is the best.

1. Oral health is difficult to maintain and prone to infection

Not everyone is suitable for porcelain teeth. If the oral environment is not good (such as periodontitis, bleeding gums, swollen gums, etc.), it is easy to cause infection. In addition, when the teeth and crowns do not fit well, it is easy to cause secondary dental diseases.

2. Conjoined porcelain teeth are prone to cause secondary dental diseases

First, the connected porcelain teeth are subjected to uneven force when chewing, making them more likely to loosen, giving bacteria an opportunity to invade; second, when making porcelain teeth, the doctor wears the teeth too much, causing the porcelain crown to be too close to the pulp, which can easily induce infection. Therefore, porcelain teeth are more suitable for single teeth.

3. Porcelain teeth can easily cause gum atrophy

The correct way to do porcelain teeth is to hide the seams inside the free gums. If the doctor grinds too deep when grinding the teeth. Damage to the fibers connecting the attached gingiva to the teeth. If the porcelain tooth is then placed horizontally between the two, it will be impossible to establish a fibrous connection between the gums and the porcelain tooth. Soon, this part of the gums without tooth support will become shorter and return to the appropriate free gingival width. The manifestation in the patient's mouth is gum recession.

4. Porcelain tooth materials cause allergies

Non-precious metal porcelain teeth are made of a metal inner crown made of nickel-chromium alloy and high-temperature porcelain on the outside. Due to their relatively low price, they are currently widely used in my country. However, this type of porcelain tooth has the following disadvantages: poor edge adhesion; poor biocompatibility with the human body. After wearing it for a period of time, some patients will have "black lines" on the gum tissue at the neck edge. There are even reports of allergic reactions caused by this type of porcelain teeth abroad. Moreover, porcelain collapse is more likely to occur clinically.
