What is a Prosthetic Tooth?
Artificial organs that replace a missing living organ or part and enable the organ to perform its physical function are called prostheses. Prostheses are teeth that are provided to fulfill the same function as healthy teeth, functionally and aesthetically, by bringing new teeth to their real sizes, replacing the teeth lost for various reasons in the mouth, by supporting these teeth with soft teeth and hard tissues.
If the tooth, gums and surrounding tissue are damaged or lost for various reasons, the prosthetic teeth used are prepared individually. In this way, people get healthy chewing function and teeth. The prosthesis teeth increase the quality of life of the person by providing a better speech and an aesthetic appearance again. Personalized prostheses can also be defined as artificial teeth that fit the patient’s mouth structure, are comfortable to use, are fixed in the mouth, and can be easily attached and removed. It may take several months for the patient to get used to their new teeth. During this period, the prosthesis may cause discomfort to the patient. Initial swelling or loosening in the mouth is normal. In this period, also known as the habituation process, the cheek muscles and tongue of the person get used to the prosthesis, and after a while, there is no need for any effort to keep the prosthesis in place.
What are the Types of Prosthetic Teeth?
Dentures, the number of missing teeth is determined as a result of the examinations with the patient and the determined number of dentures is prepared. These prepared prosthetic teeth can be produced as mobile or immobile.
Adhesive prostheses called crowns and bridges are called Fixed Prostheses.
Movement Prostheses are named as total, partial and precision attachment.
