Prosthetics on implants in Lutsk 2

Types of prostheses on implants

There are the following types of prostheses that are installed on implants:

• Crowns. They are attached to the implant using abutments (orthopedic adapters that screw into the implant). Standard abutments are used or individual ones are made.

• Bridge prostheses. They are used to restore several teeth. The support for this orthopedic system is 2 or more implants.

• Complete prosthesis. It is used in dental prosthetics on implants, when the tooth row is completely missing. Acrylic is used as a manufacturing material.

Dentures and crowns can be:

• temporary (adaptive). The material for them is metal-plastic

• permanent. They are ceramic, metal-ceramic or made of zirconium dioxide.

• With complete absence of teeth (complete adentia)

• With partial loss of teeth, when you have no more than 7-8 teeth left (partial adentia)

• Generalized periodontitis, a disease that leads to partial or complete loss of teeth.

• With long-term use of a removable prosthesis, which leads to disorders of speech, chewing, etc. consequences

• With atrophy of the jaw, which as a disease leads to premature aging of the face.
