What are the hazards of fixed dentures

When many people have problems with their teeth, it will bring us a lot of inconvenience, especially when there are problems with teeth, it is a very painful thing to see a table full of delicious and nutritious food but not be able to eat it. Many people will alleviate oral problems by wearing dentures, among which fixed dentures are the most common one, but they also have certain defects. We must understand it before choosing which type of denture to install. Let's learn about the dangers of fixed dentures.

What are the dangers of fixed dentures?

Firstly, although fixed dentures can restore the anatomical morphology and physiological characteristics of missing teeth, the height and width of the surface contact points of fixed dentures are not suitable, resulting in poor contact with the surface of the remaining teeth, which may cause food impaction.

Secondly, the edges of fixed dentures are not aligned with the gingival margin, which damages the gingival epithelial tissue and easily leads to gingivitis or periodontal disease, so timely medical treatment is required.

Finally, the conditions of the abutment teeth at both ends must be good. During preparation, many abutment teeth need to be ground off, which is time-consuming and requires high preparation conditions from the doctor. If it is not done well, it will cause tooth grinding and pain.

The degree of harm caused by fixed dentures to the body depends on the materials used. The most common materials for fixed dentures are the early nickel-chromium alloy porcelain teeth, titanium alloy porcelain teeth, cobalt-chromium alloy porcelain teeth, precious metal porcelain teeth and all-ceramic teeth. For each of these materials, due to the differences in their biocompatibility, the effects of fixed dentures on the human body are also different.

Nickel-chromium alloy porcelain teeth, as an early type of porcelain teeth, have been eliminated because of their low stability. Metal ions are easily precipitated after being made into porcelain teeth, which can cause allergies and other phenomena. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to many people who seek beauty. In comparison, there will be no such worries with all-ceramic teeth.

The key to choosing fixed dentures is to look at the materials. If the materials are well chosen, it will naturally bring good results. What kind of porcelain tooth material should we choose? This requires everyone to start from their own situation and make a comprehensive choice.

The above is an introduction to the hazards of fixed dentures. Although fixed dentures can help people solve many troubles, if they are not properly cared for or the selected dentures are irregular, it will affect oral health. Therefore, when people wear dentures, they must choose good quality dentures and choose a plastic surgeon with rich experience.

The above is an introduction to the hazards of fixed dentures. After understanding, we know that although fixed dentures do not affect the appearance, they will cause bacterial residue and form periodontitis and other phenomena. In addition, they are also very complicated to make and wear. We must choose which denture to wear based on the location of our tooth damage.
