A model cast denture is a removable partial denture (partial denture, partial prosthesis), the stabilizing base of which is manufactured from a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy using the one-piece casting process. In the simple case, a model cast denture (synonyms: one-piece cast denture, cast-in denture, unitor denture) is anchored to the remaining teeth by means of cast … Model Casting Prosthesis
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
A telescopic denture is used to replace several teeth in a partially edentulous jaw. It is a combination of a removable denture and telescoping double crowns that fit firmly in the mouth and anchor the denture without clasps. A telescopic denture differs in shape and extension from a complete denture (full denture) and also from … Telescopic Prosthesis
Dairy products rich in calcium and phosphate promote remineralization (the re-storage of minerals) of the teeth and thus their hardness and resistance to caries. The industry has translated this effect into dental care products containing the active ingredient complex Recaldent, which delivers calcium and phosphate to the tooth structure. Fruit makes an important contribution to … Recaldent: Calcium and Phosphate for Healthy Teeth
Sonic toothbrushes differ from conventional electric toothbrushes in the ten times higher frequency of their vibrations, the type of brush head movement and the resulting hydrodynamic cleaning effect. Interdental spaces (spaces between teeth) are more difficult to clean during home oral hygiene measures than the more easily accessible smooth and chewing surfaces of the teeth. … Sonic Toothbrushes
The course for a child’s health – including oral health – is set during pregnancy. Early counseling of the expectant mother should reduce the risk of premature birth and prevent the child from developing caries (tooth decay) in early childhood. The focus of pregnancy counseling is therefore not only on the oral health of the … Pregnancy Counseling
The dental early detection examination is a service offered by the statutory health insurance funds for children between the 30th and 72nd month of life. It aims to detect diseases and developmental disorders in the dental, oral and maxillofacial area at an early stage and also to develop awareness of dental care and tooth-healthy nutrition … Early Dental Checkup
