For those who have a high rate of missing teeth or even no real teeth left, they need to wear a whole piece of dentures (also called removable dentures). It is often worn looser and looser, and in severe cases, it will fall off when one speaks, and the user needs to replace it several times.
At this time, it is necessary to protect the gums through strong nutrient delivery. On the one hand, it prevents the accelerated shrinkage of the gums, and at the same time, it is to stabilize the foundation of the adjacent teeth. Only by making the adjacent teeth a strong support pillar can the results of the dentures be maintained for a long time.
That’s why many people lament that tooth extraction is a chain reaction, where one tooth falls out and the others soon follow. On the other hand, the gums in the missing teeth have shrunk. After tooth extraction, the gums and alveolar bone in this part lose their functional needs, which will accelerate the rate of their atrophy and degeneration. The same is true of the fact that a hillside where trees are cut down is bound to lose soil and water.
Because tooth extraction is caused by long-term dental disease, the patient’s gums have shrunk, and the problem is not only the one that falls out, but the overall condition is not good. In this case, using the adjacent teeth to stabilize the denture is like walking an already sick person on his back, and the result is that he falls down faster.
For people with partially missing teeth, the method of dentures is usually used. The main principle is to use the left and right adjacent teeth of the missing teeth as supports to fix the dentures in the missing parts. The dentures are very strong, but after a period of time the dentures become loose and need to be reworked and replaced. Because the prosthesis uses two adjacent teeth as the base post, in order to be stable for a long time, two preconditions need to be met. One is that the two adjacent teeth are healthy, and the other is that the gums at the lost tooth are full, but this is actually impossible.
But no matter what the reason, it is necessary to install dentures after tooth extraction. The emergence of denture technology in dentistry, as well as the development of today’s advanced technical means such as porcelain teeth and dental implants, play an important role in maintaining human teeth, oral health and physical and mental health.
