Oral irrigators (irrigators, mouthwashers, water jet devices) are valuable aids for oral hygiene. They are not only a useful addition to daily dental care with toothbrush, dental floss and/or interdental brushes (interdental brushes), but in combination with the toothbrush are the means of choice for patients with fixed orthodontic appliances, for implant carriers and patients … Oral Irrigator
The current state of oral hygiene is assessed by collecting an oral hygiene status. This incorporates indices that record the presence of plaque (microbial plaque) and signs of inflammation of the gingiva (the gums). Plaque or biofilm is the term used to describe the microbial plaque that forms on the surfaces and in the approximal … Oral Hygiene Status
While primary prophylactic measures start in healthy individuals with the aim of preventing disease from the outset, primary prophylaxis goes one step further by providing education during pregnancy and taking therapeutic measures in the expectant mother, thus already protecting the health of the unborn child. During pregnancy, the course is set not only for the … Primary Primary Prophylaxis
Protecting teeth from caries (tooth decay) and periodontitis (inflammation of the periodontium) well into old age is a feasible goal if prophylactic (preventive) measures such as consistent home dental care and regular professional dental cleaning (PZR) at the dentist go hand in hand. Home oral hygiene makes areas such as the interdental spaces (spaces between … Professional Dental Cleaning: Costs, Procedure
It is impossible to imagine modern dentistry without prophylaxis. It includes all measures that contribute to the prevention and early detection of factors that are detrimental to oral and dental health. Rehabilitation and aftercare help to halt diseases and maintain therapeutic successes. It is important here that, as far as possible, the population as a … Prophylaxis in Dentistry for Oral and Dental Health
Dentures must be cared for daily, just like your own teeth, to prevent adverse effects on oral health caused by pathogens and to maintain the aesthetics and function of the denture for a long time. An esthetic-looking, clean prosthesis, like beautiful own teeth, contributes decisively to the quality of life of its wearer. If denture … Denture Hygiene
Denture relining – called relining for short – improves the fit, support and function of an existing denture by readjusting it to changed conditions of the surrounding soft tissues and the supporting jawbone. The oral mucosa and the jawbone it covers are subjected to constant pressure by a denture. A denture must therefore distribute this … Denture Relining
Dental prosthesis (synonym: prosthetics) has, according to the literal sense, the task to replace partially lost tooth substance or teeth. In fact, prosthetic work can be manufactured today in a wide range of variations and with the highest precision. Despite the technical possibilities, patients should nevertheless be aware that even the highest-quality prosthetics are replacements … Dentures to Replace Missing Teeth
An immediate denture (synonym: immediate prosthesis) is a definitive (final) removable partial or full denture to replace missing teeth. Immediately inserted after a surgical procedure, it requires adaptation to the altered jaw structure after wound healing. During the wound healing phase after tooth extraction (tooth removal), not only the soft tissues covering the jawbone regenerate. … Immediate Prosthesis
A post abutment is used to rebuild root canal-treated teeth whose natural crown has been severely destroyed, so that they can subsequently be restored with a crown and thus preserved. If the natural crown of a tooth is largely destroyed, there is sometimes not enough remaining tooth substance to attach an artificial crown to it. … Pin Buildups
A superstructure is a dental prosthesis attached to an implant. This can be a crown, a bridge or even a denture. The implant itself is surgically placed (implanted) in edentulous areas of the jaw and assumes the function of an artificial tooth root, which serves to attach the superstructure. An implant that heals without complications … Supraconstruction on Implants
Unlike a full crown, a partial crown does not encircle the tooth to be restored. It is used to stabilize only partial areas of the tooth crown, while leaving unbroken any substance that is still resilient. After preparation (grinding) of the tooth, the partial crown is fabricated indirectly (outside the mouth) and – depending on … Partial Crowns
