What is an immediate prosthesis?
Instant prosthesis is a prosthesis that is designed to be mounted in place as soon as the teeth are extracted. Immediate prostheses may be partial or full, depending on the patient's needs and have a number of advantages that make some patients attractive. The biggest advantage from the patient's point of view may be aesthetic: with immediate prosthesis the patient never has to walk without teeth.
Not all patients are candidates for an immediate prosthesis, but if the dentist feels that this option is suitable for the patient, he will need several appointments before planned extraction, so casting can be taken from the mouth. These castings will be used in the production of immediate prosthesis, a process that lasts several weeks, and as soon as the prosthesis is finished, the patient may be planned for extraction.
After extraction, the prosthesis is immediately placed and checked to see if it is suitable. Wear an immediate prosthesis in fact a reduction pain and swelling for the patient after extraction. Also allows the patient to start talking immediately withIt is a prosthesis on the spot than to expect, and it makes it easier for the patient to eat. Within the first 24 hours, the prosthesis must be left in place and the patients are given medication to handle pain and pain. After this period, the prosthesis is regularly removed for cleaning.
When a patient heals with a prosthesis on the spot, he will have to return to the dentist regularly to be checked. Once the mouth has recovered, it changes shape and the prosthesis may require relining to ensure that it is suitable. Once the healing is completed, which may take up to six months, the immediate prosthesis can be re -mined so that it can fit properly into the mouth, or a completely new prosthesis can be produced if the immediate prosthesis does not look or does not feel appropriately a propatient.
One of the problems with immediate prosthesis is that it is not always possible to come in handy. For example, an immediate partial prosthesis does not have to be properly useful, soE is hard to adapt in order using castings with damaged teeth in place. Immediate complete prostheses may look or feel strange as soon as they are mounted after the tooth removal, due to the basic challenges in the jaw structure and the patient may need some time to get used to the prosthesis.
Choice for immediate prosthesis can cause patients to feel more confident and comfortable after extraction. Patients should be aware that the immediate prosthesis may be costly because it will be necessary to pay for the production of prosthesis and for the numerous adjustments that occur when the mouth is recovered, and the patient will have to buy a new prosthesis to replace the immediate prosthesis at the end of the treatment period.
