What are the advantages and disadvantages of dental implants

Teeth are one of the most important organs in our body, but in normal times, many friends will have damaged teeth due to various reasons. This has a particularly serious impact on our daily diet and beauty. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the damaged teeth in time. Now that medicine is developed, porcelain teeth are generally replaced, which have the advantages of being beautiful and practical. What are the advantages and disadvantages of replacing teeth? Let’s take a look.

What are the advantages of porcelain teeth

1. Porcelain teeth are a high-tech dental implant technology. A metal cap is made of high-strength alloy on the treated tooth root, a layer of porcelain powder close to the color of natural teeth is baked on its surface, and finally it is bonded to the tooth. Making porcelain teeth is a process with many steps. It is a high-tech product that integrates high temperature, casting, bonding and other technologies.

2. The appearance is lifelike and beautiful, strong and wear-resistant, the color is similar to natural teeth, it has good biocompatibility, does not irritate oral tissue, is easy to clean, and can restore the function of teeth and has a cosmetic effect. The marginal fit is much better than that of traditional restorations.

3. What we call porcelain teeth are porcelain crowns and porcelain fixed bridge restorations. The full name of porcelain crown is metal porcelain crown, which is made of sintering metal inner crown and porcelain powder. Its characteristics are that it can restore the morphology and function of the tooth, is resistant to fracture, wear, and deformation, has a realistic appearance, a smooth surface, stable color, and is resistant to acid and alkali. It is a permanent restoration.

The hazards of porcelain teeth

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.

5. Pain caused by hot or cold stimulation

I have a porcelain tooth installed, but I dare not eat too much cold, hot, sour or sweet food, and I still feel pain from time to time. This is mostly because the dentist grinds the teeth too quickly during the preparation process, causing excessive stimulation to the pulp, which is still in a state of congestion. Before having porcelain teeth, it is necessary to evaluate the condition of the periodontal gums. If there is obvious gingival inflammation, redness, swelling, atrophy, abnormal color, etc., periodontal treatment is required first, and porcelain teeth restoration can be performed after the gums return to normal. But some doctors can't wait and do it right away, which results in the patient suffering and then has to be removed.

Through the above introduction, we know the advantages and disadvantages of dentures. In daily life, we must pay attention to the protection of our teeth and develop the good habit of brushing our teeth in the morning and evening. Especially in normal times, we must pay attention to rinsing our mouths after meals. If our teeth feel uncomfortable, we must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
