Guan Zhongling (President of Huamei Dental Clinic) Many dental patients will face this kind of problem. When deciding whether to have dentures or not, they often hesitate. Opinions come from all directions, including experience sharing and recommendations from relatives and friends; relevant information from newspapers and magazines, various dental promotions, and suggestions from professional doctors, etc., all of which make patients unable to make up their minds, shouldn't they just pretend? I am afraid that new problems will arise in the future. If I pretend, I will regret it because of poor pretending or maladaptation. Under what circumstances do you need to wear dentures? Which type of dentures is suitable for the patient's individual condition? Is now the right time to get dentures? Is it troublesome to clean and maintain dentures after installing them? Dentures, also known as dentures, should be called "prostheses" from a professional point of view, so the production of dentures is generally called "oral prostheses". In medical school education, "dental prostheses" accounts for The huge proportion shows that dentures play an important role in dentistry. In fact, the production of dentures is the summary of many dental treatment activities. In these situations, dentures may be required. Severe dental caries cannot be repaired by traditional means. After root canal treatment and tooth extraction, the maintenance and functional reconstruction of the missing tooth space. Maintenance after orthodontic treatment. Maintenance and immobilization after periodontal disease treatment. Full mouth reconstruction for severely worn teeth. Patients with congenital diseases such as cleft lip and palate. Those with hereditary oligodontia or adontia. Acquired trauma, such as the reconstruction of broken corners. Tetracycline-induced abnormal tooth color. Based on aesthetic and functional requirements, dentures need to be made after these dental treatments to achieve the best treatment results. Dental treatment is like building a foundation before building a house, and denture making is the final step to build a beautiful and strong house. Although dental treatment is a delicate division of labor and each performs its own duties, it is actually linked to each other, and the purpose is to make the final dentures. In order to achieve the best restoration of aesthetics, pronunciation, chewing and other functions. However, after the dental treatment is completed, whether dentures are needed or not is a matter of opinion. I will share my opinions with readers in the book. It has been discovered from archeology that the evolution of denture materials and production techniques has begun with the use of natural materials to replace extracted or missing teeth. All metals, animal bones, extracted teeth, etc. have been tried, and have evolved to resin, metal, Ceramic products can bring great convenience and beauty to patients.

All metals, animal bones, extracted teeth, etc. have been tried, and have evolved to resin, metal, Ceramic products can bring great convenience and beauty to patients. Installing dentures is nothing more than the restoration of aesthetics and function. A tooth must be extracted due to excessive damage that cannot be repaired, severe periodontal disease, or trauma. Generally, two phenomena will occur. To meet their needs, patients often actively seek out dentists to restore aesthetics and function. The extraction of back teeth changes a lot. Patients who are prudent and prudent will often follow the doctor's instructions and repair it in time. Patients who treat the disease as a big problem or avoid medical treatment often delay and hesitate, causing changes in the missing tooth and adjacent teeth. As a result, not only is it easy to cause dental caries between the tipped tooth and its adjacent teeth, but the tipped tooth is also difficult to clean, leading to secondary periodontal disease.

The corresponding teeth in the missing tooth area will also change their position, which is commonly known as "teeth lengthening". The Physiological Phenomenon of Tooth Displacement During the chewing process, the average daily contact time between teeth is about twenty minutes; even so, after long-term use, the teeth will also produce a certain amount of wear. The wear of the front teeth is at the incisal end. The teeth at the back are on the biting surface. However, the shape and appearance of our mouths will not change or shrink due to tooth wear and shortening. Because the body has a compensatory function, the teeth will be pushed by the bones to form passive eruptions to maintain the height of the bite. When a tooth is extracted, over time, the corresponding tooth will extend compensatoryly and become longer. Many patients often ask me: "Why are the gaps between teeth getting bigger and bigger?" Usually dentists habitually respond: "Because the gums are receding." But I think that incorrect brushing methods will cause gum changes, but the most important thing is The reason is that the anatomy of the tooth has a wide crown and a tapered root. When the crown continues to wear and passively erupts, the triangular gap between the teeth becomes relatively larger. Since the relative position of the teeth and gums has changed, for a single over-erupted or extended tooth, in addition to the enlarged gap between the teeth and the occurrence of dental caries between adjacent teeth, it is also prone to periodontal disease itself, because Increased difficulty in cleaning. A normal tooth is in the alveolar bone. Under normal circumstances in the young and middle-aged, the ratio of crown to root should be one to two, that is, the part inside the alveolar bone accounts for two-thirds of the total length of the tooth. The outer third of the alveolar bone is the crown of the tooth. As age increases, tooth wear and passive eruption proceed interactively, and a one-to-one crown-to-root ratio in old age is acceptable. For patients with severe periodontal disease that is common in outpatient clinics, the crown-to-root ratio is seriously insufficient, and the teeth within the bone account for less than three to one-quarter of the total teeth. This is like building a high-rise building. The higher the foundation of the house, the deeper the foundation must be dug. If the teeth with periodontal disease have shallow roots, the teeth will be shaky and unable to withstand sufficient biting force. If the teeth are missing for too long, the opposing teeth will erupt too much, which will lead to periodontal disease. The eruption of the teeth will be higher than the normal occlusal plane. During the patient's chewing process, problems such as occlusal interference and traumatic occlusion will occur. Therefore, After tooth extraction, you must not take it lightly, thinking that the side still has function and do not rush for a while. Over time, you will get used to it and will not take it seriously. If you want to repair it when problems arise in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort. It will be a waste of time and the effect will inevitably be ineffective. .
