The materials used to restore or replace teeth after they have been lost or entirely damaged for a variety of causes are referred to as prosthesis.

Along with aiming to restore the patient’s lost capabilities, the prosthesis also aims to repair their deteriorating speech and enhance their visual appeal. As a result, those who must live with missing or damaged teeth in society receive psychological assistance in addition to the oral health that has been greatly lost. Because people who have to live in this way oftentimes forget to laugh. In addition to functional difficulties, this cause people to lose their sense of confidence. It is aimed to increase the quality of life of people with various prostheses made for such patients.

To have a healthy smile, you must first restore all of your missing teeth.

Types of Prostheses applied;

Fixed prostheses
They are prosthesis that the doctor has fixed and that the patient is unable to take off. Various prostheses may be created using implants, bridges, and crowns.
Crowns are a form of fixed prosthesis that cover a tooth for material losses and cosmetic issues that only affect one tooth. They are positioned in between fixed prostheses. Bridge prostheses are a type of prosthesis that replace missing or damaged teeth with support provided by cutting the teeth adjacent to them.

Lack of teeth can create an aesthetically unsightly appearance, as well as cause the adjacent teeth to bend towards the tooth cavity and the antagonist teeth to extend downward, causing joint disorders.

Bridge prostheses serve as functional and attractive replacements for missing teeth, and they require the same level of maintenance as real teeth. If the tooth beneath the prosthesis has poor marginal harmony, it may decay, leading to pain complaints and eventual tooth loss. At least twice a day, brush your teeth using a broad, gentle circular motion from the gingiva to the tooth (from the top down on the upper jaw, from the bottom up on the lower jaw). Too much pressure, using a brush with ragged bristles, and brushing from tooth to gingiva all contribute to gingival recession and worsening of the prosthesis’ gingival compatibility.

Removable prostheses
The patient is free to wear and remove these prosthesis anytime he or she wants. Dentures come in a variety of forms, including full, partial, precision-attached, and implant-supported removable prostheses.

Removable prosthetics that are Supported

Patients without prosthesis retention in the lower jaw are particularly candidates for it. The retention and chewing abilities of the prosthesis are improved with the aid of implants inserted in the jawbone.
Without any restriction, it is carried out on patients. The retention and chewing abilities of the prosthesis are improved with the aid of implants inserted in the jawbone.

Total Prostheses

If you have no teeth left in your mouth, whole dentures are a possible solution. They are acrylic prostheses, often known as “palatal prosthesis” among people, that can maintain themselves in the mouth using the residual bone tissue in the lower and upper jaws.
