Partial Dentures Brisbane North

The part of dentistry that deals with the design and construction of prostheses is called dental prosthesis. The lack of one or more teeth may put oral health at risk. In fact, the other teeth tend to move to fill the empty space: the teeth incline and lengthen by modifying the occlusion and the overall balance of the whole mouth.

Muscles, bones and joints can be affected and chewing can be difficult and painful. The teeth that have changed position can become difficult to clean correctly, causing caries and gingival disorders as well as negatively affect the personal relationship with others because the aesthetic is strongly compromised.

There are several types of prosthesis, including Partial Dentures Brisbane North. The fixed prosthesis replaces the dental elements with artifacts that can not be removed by the patient. These elements, if they are anchored to the residual root of the tooth, are called crowns, if they rest on the adjacent teeth (suitably filed) bridges and if they are inserted on implants inserted in the bone, they are defined prostheses on implants.

The crowns are prosthetic for single teeth where at least the root is preserved. They are anchored appropriately prepared (stump) or via root pins. The crowns, as well as the bridge elements can be in metal, ceramic metal, only ceramic or zirconium. The all-ceramic crown is increasingly required in the production of crowns for the various advantages it offers, assured aesthetics, reliability in mechanical strength and compatibility with the gingiva.

In this type of crown, the metal ceramic infrastructure is replaced with an alumina or zirconium infrastructure. Aluminum oxide or alumina, due to its properties, is used in many fields, particularly in the dental sector. Alumina gives a particular diffusion of light.

The main characteristics of alumina are stability, corrosion resistance, hardness and biocompatibility with fabrics. Zirconium oxide, developed over the past ten years, for its high degree of biocompatibility and lightness is becoming today the material par excellence in the realization of high quality dental restorations.

The development of innovative CAD/CAM technology allows high precision milling of presintered zirconium oxide blocks in a workable softness stage. After milling the material undergoes synthesis and becomes stable with excellent mechanical properties and can be used as a support for dentures Brisbane.

Zirconium allows aesthetic results not possible with other metals. In addition to the qualities of brightness, aesthetics, biological compatibility, zirconium has a hardness and bending strength that allows to build ceramics with less than 2mm thickness and to build extended bridges. Zirconium is particularly suitable as an aesthetic solution for the anterior sector.

These two materials meet all expectations for the production of ceramic crowns: aesthetics, compatibility and excellent resistance.
