5 Types of dental prosthesis devices available at Magadh oro dental clinic

(1) Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that restores a decayed, broken, weak or worn-down tooth. Our Prosthodontist Dr. Lav Kumar also use crowns to cover dental implants and root canal-treated teeth. Made from a variety of materials, including metal, resin and porcelain and zirconium, Our crowns last between five years to 30 years with proper care.

Type of dental Crown available at Magadh oro dental clinic

 
Metal crown

Metal crowns are in fact a combination nickel or chromium. The main advantage of metal crowns is their strength and durability. 


Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns combine the durability of metal and the natural look of porcelain. We at Magadh Oro Dental can match these crowns to the shade of your own teeth.
Despite their strength, PFM crowns have some drawbacks. For example, the porcelain coating may chip off over time, exposing the metal underneath. In addition, PFM crowns may gradually wear down the enamel on your opposing teeth 

 

All-ceramic or porcelain crowns
All-ceramic or porcelain crowns mimic the appearance of tooth enamel more than any other crown type. They’re also a good choice if you have metal allergies.
Zirconia crowns are extremely durable and can withstand heavier forces than other types of ceramic crowns. They’re also gentle on your opposing teeth, resulting in less enamel wear.

 

CAD/CAM Zirconia crowns by digital teeth scanning at Magadh Oro Dental Clinic
Zirconium is a relatively new material that combines the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain crowns. High translucent zirconia and layered zirconia crowns have become a more popular choice lately.

The main Advantages of zirconia crowns are:

Provide great aesthetics

Strong and long-lasting (less possibilities of chipping or breaking).

Process can be less time consuming because zirconia can be cut and shaped at the same dental office. There’s no need to send them over to a dental lab.

Zirconia Crowns are less likely to wear down due to their strength.

Biocompatible: as metal free crowns, they are not likely to cause allergic reactions.

 

E- MAX: Lithium Disilicate Crowns

This is newest type of crown in dentistry. It is a type of all-ceramic crown made of lithium disilicate (which is also light and thin). The main Advantages of E-max crowns are Great aesthetics, They look great in your mouth durable and great choice both for front and back teeth.

All-resin crowns

Dental crowns made out of resin are generally less expensive than other types of crowns. But they’re fragile and more likely to break compared to porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns. We often use resin to make temporary crowns. They last three to five years on average.

Same-day dental crowns

We at Magadh Oro Dental Clinic use CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology to create crowns in their office while you wait. This software allows us to take digital dental impressions of your teeth, and then use those impressions to design a custom crown. Once your dentist designs your crown, they’ll send the image files to an on-site milling machine. The machine will craft your new crown from a solid block of ceramic. The main advantage of CAD/CAM technology is that you can get a dental crown in just one office visit. However, same-day crowns aren’t for everyone. Ask your dentist if you’re a candidate.

 

Benefits of dental crowns

The most notable advantage of a dental crown is that it can prolong the life of a natural tooth. Specifically, crowns can treat worn, broken or decayed teeth. Crown Protect teeth from erosion (wear and tear) and Improve chewing function. It Enhance your appearance.

Disadvantages of dental crowns

Crowns require some removal of natural tooth enamel, crown over implants is exception and does not require removal of enamel.
May cause teeth sensitivity, especially in the first few weeks after placement.
Can break or fracture over time.
Can trap bacteria and lead to decay if they don’t fit properly.
May cause an allergic reaction in some people. 
May be expensive.

Recovery and Outlook : How long does it take to feel better after a dental crown procedure?

Most people can resume work, school and other routine activities immediately following crown placement. However, it’s normal to experience some degree of sensitivity for a couple of weeks — especially to heat and cold.
You may also have some soreness or tenderness in your gums around the treated tooth. These side effects are normal and should go away in a few days. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers (like acetaminophen or ibuprofen) to ease any discomfort.

Foods to avoid with a crown

Whether you have a temporary or permanent crown, there are foods you should avoid -
Ice cubes.
Extremely hard nuts.
Popcorn (with kernels).
Super sticky foods like taffy and caramels.
These foods can damage or dislodge (pull off) your crown.

Care for dental crown

To keep your dental crown in good condition:
Brush your teeth at least twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste and soft-bristled toothbrush.
Floss between your teeth once every day.
Use an antibacterial mouthwash to keep dental plaque and harmful bacteria at bay.
Avoid extremely hard, crunchy or chewy foods.
If you grind or clench your teeth (bruxism), ask your dentist about wearing a custom mouth guard.
Get regular dental cleanings and exams.

When To visit the Dentist :

If you have a dental crown, you should call your dentist if you notice:
A loose crown.
Bad breath or a bad taste.
Cracks or chips in your crown.
Sharp edges that bother your tongue or gums.
Additional Details

Most common alternative to a crown

There are several alternatives to crowns, depending on your oral health goals:
Inlays and onlays. An inlay or onlay can restore a tooth that’s too damaged for a dental filling, but too healthy to warrant a crown. This type of restoration fits into the affected portion of your tooth like a puzzle piece.
Veneers. If you have cosmetic concerns but no decay or damage, then veneers may be the way to go. These custom-made ceramic shells adhere to the front surfaces of your teeth. Veneers cover chips, cracks and tooth discoloration.
Tooth extraction and dental implant. If you have a severely decayed or broken tooth, a crown may not offer a predictable outcome. In these cases, your dentist may recommend pulling your tooth and replacing it with a dental implant.

A note from Magadh oro dental clinic

Dental crowns can restore worn, damaged or decayed teeth. There are several types of crowns made from a variety of materials. The type of crown that’s best for you depends on several factors, including your budget, personal preferences and oral health goals. Crowns are durable, but they’re not indestructible. They’ll need replacing at some point. Regular dental visits and proper oral hygiene can keep your crown in good condition for years to come.

Cost of Dental Crowns at Magadh Oro Dental Clinic

Cost of dental crowns can range from ₹4000 to ₹20,000, if you are looking for a low cost solution, you could spend between ₹1500 - ₹2500 for an indirect resin crown, which is basically a restoration that is not made in an outside lab, but by dentist of Magadh Oro Dental Clinic. The pros of this procedure are lower cost and less time in the chair (usually one visit). The cons are durability. Indirect resin crowns are recommended as a budget-friendly low term solution. But it is not meant to last years and years like crowns do.

Average Cost of a Tooth Crown at Magadh Oro Dental 

The cost of Metal Crowns can range between ₹2500-₹4000
All-porcelain crowns can range between ₹7000-₹20,000
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns can cost ₹4000-₹9000
Zirconia Crowns and E-max crowns cost approximately the same as all- porcelain crowns

 

Dental Bridge:

 Dental bridge is made up of two dental crowns with a fake tooth or teeth between them. As the name implies, a dental bridge is meant to bridge a gap left by missing teeth. A bridge is usually anchored to natural teeth at both ends of the gap and may be made of one or more false teeth called pontics. In some cases, a bridge may be attached to an implant for greater security and stability. A bridge is often made of porcelain to look like natural teeth and must be brushed and flossed regularly. Special flossing aids called threaders may be necessary to get floss between the bridge and the gum line. The placement of a dental bridge is similar to placing a dental crown, but two dental implants are placed

Process for getting a bridge at Magadh oro dental

Video - Zirconia dental bridge fixing by Dr. Abhishek Kumar

At the first appointment, the anchor teeth on either side of the bridge are filed into shape and a mold is made of your mouth. A temporary bridge may be made to fill in the gap while a permanent one is made within a couple of weeks.
At the second appointment, the permanent bridge is fitted into place. Any necessary minor adjustments are made so that the bridge looks natural and works with your natural bite. The bridge is then cemented into place.
A well-made bridge can last for decades, but 5 to 15 years is a reasonable expectation.

Dentures

Dentures are artificial teeth and gums that are used to restore an entire upper or lower arch of teeth. They are used in cases where a large amount of natural teeth are missing or severely affected by damage or decay. Although dentures can be used as a removable dental prosthesis, fixed dentures used dental implants for permanent stabilization in the mouth. Fixed dentures, also known as implant-supported dentures, are held in place by approximately four dental implants in each arch. Placing an implant-supported denture requires the placement of at least four dental implants and the extraction of any remaining decayed or damaged teeth.

Dentures are prosthetic devices that fit snugly against the gums and look and function as natural teeth. They’re also referred to as false teeth.
The extent of tooth loss and your preference will help determine what kind of dentures are best for you. The most common types of dentures include:

 

Complete dentures replace all of your teeth and must be removed daily for cleaning.
Removable partial dentures replace some but not all of your teeth.
Fixed partial dentures are also known as implant-supported bridges.
Implant-retained dentures are affixed to implants but must be removed daily for cleaning (also called snap-in dentures).
Another type of denture is called a flipper. These are temporary partial dentures replacing one or two teeth. They are made of less durable materials than regular partial dentures since they are meant to be used for a short time.

 

Over denture

Overdenture is any removable dental prosthesis that covers and rests on one or more remaining natural teeth, the roots of natural teeth, and/or dental implants. It is one of the most practical measures used in preventive dentistry. Overdentures can be either tooth supported (conventional / immediate) or implant supported. It is found to help in the preservation of alveolar bone and delay the process of complete edentulism.
An overdenture is a denture, the base of which covers one or more teeth, prepared roots or implants. An overdenture is usually used for elderly patients that have lost some teeth but not all, rendering them suitable for a set of full dentures. The overdenture is not rigid in the mouth; it is removable.

An advantage of overdentures compared to full dentures is that the roots left in the maxilla (upper jaw) help preserve bone of the upper jaw, preventing bone resorption. Another advantage is that the sensory aspect is improved. The nerves in the roots are still present therefore sensation is improved greatly. The gums around the teeth must be relatively healthy for an overdenture to not cause any further problems.
A maxillary overdenture may be supported by implants. The most common number of implants used to stabilise a maxillary denture is 4.

For a mandibular overdenture, support was better given by 2 implants than it was when only one implant was present. The patient could also chew much better and was overall more pleased with the overdenture.
At first, chewing capabilities are reduced however within 12 months of fitting the overdenture, the chewing cycle improves.

Implant-supported overdenture
Edentulous patients with sufficient amount of bony ridge on their jaws can opt for implant supported overdenture. This type of over denture gains support from both the dental implants and intraoral tissues. Having implant-supported overdenture provides better stability of prosthesis and reduce bone resorption. However, a conventional complete denture can be considered as an alternative due to less treatment time needed.

Implant supported Overdenture in six steps at Magadh Oro Dental Clinic
The steps to implant overdentures are as follows:
Step 1: Initial Consultation - The dentist examines whether you are a good candidate for implants and overdentures. To this end, they take the impressions of your jaws and remaining teeth (if any). If you don’t have enough ridge bone, you might need a bone grafting treatment before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Implant Placement - They give local anesthesia and place the implants. Then, you need to wait for the implants to fuse with the jawbone. It usually takes 3-5 months for the implant and bone structure to fuse.
Step 3: Abutment Placement - Abutments are tiny posts protruding from gums to serve as a base for the overdentures to come. When the implants are fused with jawbones, the dentist places the abutments.
Step 4: Taking Impressions - Your dentist needs to take impressions of your mouth to prepare a custom-made overdenture for you. Impressions are sent to the laboratory, and technicians manufacture the perfect overdenture for you.
Step 5: Fitting And Alignment - Once your overdenture is ready, the dentist attaches it to the implant abutments and does the final fitting and alignment. Your denture should fit your mouth strongly and comfortably.
Step 6: Follow-up Visit - Your dentist arranges an appointment to see if your implant-supported overdenture works properly.


Care For An Overdenture
Remove your denture daily and clean it daily.
Use non-scented antibacterial soap and water for cleaning.
Scrub it gently to make sure there are no food particles left.
Let it stay in clean water overnight.
You can add a denture cleaning table to the water once or twice a week.
In the morning, brush your gum tissue, abutments, and tongue decently.
Put your overdenture carefully.
Are Overdentures Removable?
There are removable and fixed overdentures.

Telescopic Denture
This system is more commonly used in overdentures supported by natural teeth rather than implants. It consists of a primary coping cemented to the abutments and a secondary coping, which is incorporated on the overdenture, to fit over the primary coping. Hence, it is also known as double crown, a crown and sleeve coping or Konuskrone.

Dental veneers
Veneers can help improve the color and appearance of natural teeth by covering them with a thin, natural-looking shell.
Here’s the typical process for getting a veneer:
The dentist will grind enamel off your teeth and take a mold of your mouth.
Using the mold, laboratory technicians will make your veneers out of porcelain or a resin-composite material. The process may take a couple of weeks.
Veneers are then cemented to your teeth. An ultraviolet light is used to quickly harden cement that keeps veneers attached to your teeth.
You need to have relatively healthy teeth to support a veneer. Veneers can last 10 to 15 years before needing to be replaced.
Veneers range in price from about ₹9000 to ₹15000 per tooth.

Dental implant
Best option to replace a missing tooth is a dental implant. This type of prosthesis is placed into the jawbone and held in place as new bone material forms around it.
Here’s the typical procedure for a dental implant:

An implant (a screwlike device) is first inserted in the jawbone.

We add an abutment that holds the crown. If the bone around the implant needs to heal first, the abutment will be added a few months later.
A crown is cemented to the abutment to match surrounding teeth.
Implants are usually durable devices that can have a positive impact on quality of life.
But while implants are becoming more widely used, they can have some mechanical, technical, and biological complicationsTrusted Source such as:
screw loosening

cement failure
fractured porcelain
complications in the soft tissue or bone around the implant
The decision to choose implants or dentures may come down to cost and whether there is enough bone in which to place an implant.
Cost is also an important factor in dental implants. An implant may cost as much as ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 just for the implant at Magadh Oro Dental Clinic. Then, a crown and a possible abutment could be another ₹3,500 to ₹5,000.

Maxillofacial Prosthesis - Obturators to close large defects in roof of mouth at Magadh oro dental clinic

A dental obturator is a prosthesis that is used to close defects in the upper jaw, such as openings in the roof of the mouth or palate. These defects can be caused by trauma, surgery, or the removal of oral or sinus cancers. They can also be present from birth, such as in cases of cleft palate

Obturators can help prevent food and liquid from entering the opening, and can also improve speech and reduce nasal regurgitation. They can be made from plastic or metal, and are constructed after a mold is taken of the patient's mouth.
There are different types of obturators, including surgical and interim obturators:
Surgical obturators

Placed immediately after surgery to close the defect, support packing material, and reduce contamination

Interim obturators

Placed 5–10 days after surgery and worn until the wound is healed 
In some cases, an obturator can be used as an alternative to surgery, or as a temporary measure until surgery is appropriate.

 

Video - Large defect in roof of mouth restored with obturators after complete maxillectomy by Dr. Abhishek Kumar and Dr. Lav Kumar

 

This patient came to our clinic with difficulty in eating and drinking. He had got full maxillectomy done at AIIMS Patna to save his life from mucormycosis . Patient was not able to drink water, because there was no boundary between mouth and nose. Whatever he wants to drink it commimg out from nose. We had closed the large maxillary defect with the help of palatal obturator. Obturator was fixed in mouth with the help of magnet placed inside obturators and retention achieved through nose with metalic wire. It was done by our  Prosthodontist Dr. Lav Kumar & Dr. Abhishek Kumar at  Magadh Oro Dental - Implant & Orthodontic Clinic, Patna.

 

A palatal obturator is a prosthesis that totally occludes an opening such as an oronasal fistula. Palatal obturators are typically short-term prosthetics used to close defects of the hard/soft palate that may affect speech production or cause nasal regurgitation during feeding. Following surgery, there may remain a residual oro-nasal opening on the palate, alveolar ridge, or vestibule of the larynx. A palatal obturator may be used to compensate for hypernasality and to aid in speech therapy targeting correction of compensatory articulation caused by the cleft palate. In simpler terms, a palatal obturator covers any fistulas (or "holes") in the roof of the mouth that lead to the nasal cavity, providing the wearer with a plastic/acrylic, removable roof of the mouth, which aids in speech, eating, and proper air flow.

A palatal obturator may be used in cases of a deficiency in tissue, when a remaining opening in the palate occurs. In some cases it may be downsized gradually so that tissue can strengthen over time and compensate for the decreasing size of the obturator. The palatal lift however, is used when there is not enough palatal movement. It raises the palate and reduces the range of movement necessary to provide adequate closure to separate the nasal cavity from the oral cavity. Speech bulbs and palatal lifts aid in velopharyngeal closure and do not obturate a fistula. A speech bulb, yet another type of prosthetic device often confused with a palatal obturator, contains a pharyngeal section, which goes behind the soft palate.

Palatal obturators are needed by individuals with cleft palate, those who have had tumors removed or have had traumatic injuries to their palate.

Types of palatal obturators

A palatal plate is a prosthetic device, generally consisting of an acrylic plate and retention clasps of orthodontic wire, which covers a fistula of the palate. It may be used to aid in improving articulation and feeding. The blockage of the opening helps improve hypernasality and suckling ability. In the case of a labial-oral-nasal fistula, the plate may include an anterior upward extension to fully occlude the passageway running between the labial surface of the alveolus, alveolus, and nasal cavity. The plate may be constructed to include any congenitally missing teeth to improve articulation and appearance. Individuals who use palatal plates must be monitored periodically by their dental professionals due to possible tissue irritation by the plate. Materials such as food particles, oral mucosa and secretions may cause buildup on the upper surface of the plate; therefore, it is essential to clean a palatal obturator at least twice a day to avoid tissue irritation. There are also more specific terms used for obturators depending on their time and purpose of use: Photo Examples of the Latham Device or the Nasal Alveolar are prime examples for use in Cleft Palate Deformities.

A modification obturator may be used in the short term to block a palatal fistula, for augmentation of the seal and to separate the oral and nasal cavities.
An interim palatal obturator is used post-palatal surgery. This obturator aids in closing the remaining fistula and is used when no further surgical procedures are planned. It must be frequently revised.
A definitive obturator is used when further rehabilitation is not possible for the patient and is intended for long-term use.
Palatal adhesives are oral adhesives or skin barrier materials used to occlude a fistula of the hard palate. Obturators of this type must be removed before eating and drinking. Users must cut the new piece of adhesive and hold it over the fistula until it adheres. Adhesives are not to be used for soft palate fistulae if the soft palate has some mobility due to possible unintentional dislodging and digestion of the material.

The Nance Obturator
This fixed obturator is based on the Nance appliance, which was originally used as a space maintainer in dentistry and orthodontics, but has been redesigned for closing anterior palatal fistulas in patients with cleft lip and palate. The Nance obturator may be used when the surgical closure of the fistula is not feasible and a removable device is not successful.
