VALPAST FLEXIBLE DENTURES

The name flexible dentures may indicate something quite funky, but it is just a term for dentures made from a superior quality denture material. The advantages of these dentures are significant and warrant a deeper understanding from patients.

Lightweight
The first thing that patients notice when they go from normal dentures to flexible ones is the decrease in weight. The stronger material allows for a much thinner prosthesis that is much more comfortable to wear.
You would think that a lighter prosthesis would be very beneficial for the upper arch, however, there the palate provides rigid support and no tongue is present to keep dislodging the denture. The lower arch prosthesis made by a flexible material is much better accepted because it is lighter, extends less towards the tongue and also allows for the natural flexion of the lower jaw.

Esthetic Advantages
The metallic clasps that are a dead giveaway with conventional dentures are replaced by clasps made of the same flexible acrylic material. The design also ensures that the entire denture is just one piece. There are no joints or attachments as in the case of metallic clasps.
Allows For A Minimally Invasive Approach
Conventional dentures needed the preparation of healthy tooth structure so that "rests" could be prepared on them. These rests were quite technique sensitive to prepare and compromised healthy teeth. A lot of the time, more and more rests would be added to make the dentures more rigid and retentive.
Decreased Incidence Of Allergies
Patients all over the world are much more likely to develop an allergy to the metallic components used in the conventional dentures. They also suffer reactions to the acrylic that is used commonly in dentures.
Flexible dentures though do not have the same problem. One of the criticisms of this claim is that the number of flexible dentures used by people all over the world is much smaller, and thus the reports of allergies are lessened as well. There may be some partial truth to that, although anecdotal evidence suggests that these dentures are tolerated better by the oral tissues.

Disadvantages
There are certain drawbacks to using flexible dentures as well. These should be made clear to patients before the treatment process. The biggest disadvantage that patients face is that a flexible denture is not repairable. There is no addition that can be made to it.
If it breaks or becomes loose then a new one has to be made. The other disadvantage is that the dentures are quite technique sensitive to make. Not all laboratories have the facilities to make these kinds of dentures, which is a real issue faced by dentists who are practicing in rural areas of underdeveloped countries.

Conclusion
Flexible dentures have been around for quite a while now, but they are still not very well known among patients. Dentures made from this material can be a real boon for patients who are looking for dentures made out of aesthetic materials yet strong enough to last them a long time. The fact that this is extremely affordable as compared to other treatment options also make it very attractive to patients.

ZUBNE PROTEZE
I kod najmlađih i kod najstarijih ljudi, možemo sresti proteze za zube. Naravno, njihove proteze su drugačije, i oni ih nose iz različitih razloga, ali je uloga uvek i zdravstvena i estetska. Život bez zuba se ne može zamisliti, pa totalne proteze kod potpune bezubosti nadoknađuju ovaj nedostatak. Jer, bez njih naši stariji članovi domaćinstva ne bi mogli ni jesti ni pričati.
Fiksne protetske nadoknade uvek su bolje rešenje, kao što je implant, međutim u siromašnim društvima i dalje se bezubost rešava upotrebom totalnih proteza.
Akrilatna totalna proteza je sačinjena od akrila, odnosno plastike, i ona u potpunosti zadovoljava estetske kriterijume. Neki pacijenti se sporije navikavaju na ovu nadoknadu. Gornje totalne proteze stoje mnogo stabilnije od donjih, pošto se gornja vilica ne pomera. Ono što je nedostatak ove proteze jeste što ona u potpunosti prekriva nepce, čime se čulo ukusa umanjuje. Donja totalna proteza je malo nestabilnija, jer donju vilicu pokrećemo, pa se dešava da se proteza pomera, ali vremenom pacijenti nauče da je kontrolišu. Postoji stara izreka da glava nosi protezu, a ne zubi, i potpuno je tačna. Znači, stvar je u navici i rutini.
Parcijalna akrilatna proteza namenjena je ljudima koji imaju nekoliko svojih zuba, te se ova proteza žičanim kukicama zakači za njih, i stabilnost je veća. Ove kukice su jako bitne naročito u donjoj protezi, zbog toga što je donja vilica pokretna te da se proteza ne bi pomerala, prilikom žvakanja hrane, recimo.
Parcijalna skeletirana wisil proteza je bolje rešenje od prethodne varijante, jer poseduje čvrstinu zbog metalnog skeleta. Nepce nije u potpunosti prekriveno, što daje bolji osećaj za ukus. I ovde pacijent mora posedovati nekoliko svojih zuba, ali se proteza ne učvršćuje žičanim kukicama, već se uz pomoć atečmena, posebnih elemenata vezuje stabilno za postojeće zube. Prilikom žvakanja, pritisak se ravnomerno prenosi na preostale zube u vilici, čime se smanjuje resorpcija vilične kosti, jer se na taj način ona rasterećuje.
Spomenimo još i valplast proteze. Valplast je materijal koji na temperaturi usne duplje postaje savitljiv te se zato koristi za izradu fleksibilnih proteza. Ovakve proteze bolje naležu na desni i bolje prenose pritisak žvakanja. Estetski je skoro nevidljiva i pacijenti se brzo privikavaju na nju. Pre stavljanja u usta, valplast proteze se stavljaju pod toplu vodu i kada postanu savitljive i elastične, lako će prianjati na zube i desni. Pri eventualnom padu, ova proteza se ne može polomiti zbog najlonskih vlakana koje poseduje. Proizvođač daje doživotnu garanciju protiv loma.
Dečije proteze se preporučuju za nošenje između 10 i 15 godine života, a idealno je oko 12-e godine, kada iznikne i poslednji stalni zub. Krivi zubi su čest problem, a njihovo ispravljanje je važno ne samo zbog estetike, već i zbog žvakanja i varenja. Pravilan položaj zuba u vilici, prilikom žvakanja doprinosi ravnomernom prenosu pritiska. Time se produžuje životni vek zuba i potporno tkivo štiti od propadanja.
PROTEZE HIGIJENA
Na svim tvrdim površinama koje se nalaze u usnoj duplji mogu se stvoriti naslage plaka. Bakterije se stvaraju na protezi isto kao i na prirodnim zubima. Vremenom, stvara se i kamenac. Zbog svega ovoga neophodna je svakodnevna higijena, odnosno dezinfekcija proteze.
Ljudi najčešće greše kada protezu održavaju klasičnim četkicama i pastama za zube. Ove paste sadrže abraziv, koji ne oštećuje prirodne zube, ali može oštetiti proteze. Ovakva oštećena proteza može biti leglo bakterija, što vremenom može dovesti do infekcije mekih tkiva u ustima i pojave kandide. Da se sve ovo ne bi dogodilo, potrebno je kupiti specijalnu četkicu za proteze, kao i specijalne šumeće tablete za dezinfekciju koje bi trebalo svakodnevno koristiti.
PROTEZE ZA ZUBE ISKUSTVA
Naravno, svaka proteza je bolja od krezavosti ili potpune bezubosti, ili kod dece, najbolje je rešenje za ispravljanje zuba. U dogovoru sa svojim stomatologom odlučite koja varijanta vam najviše odgovara. Vreme potrebno za izradu ovih protetskih nadoknada je od 5-7 dana, a pacijenti su duže vremena lišeni problema koji nastaju zbog nedostatka zuba, dok će naši mališani imati pravilne zube i blistav osmeh.

ORAL CYSTECTOMY
Oral cysts can be inconvenient at best and excruciatingly painful at worst. In the most extreme cases, an oral cyst may even impair one’s ability to eat, speak, or swallow, thus drastically decreasing the quality of life. If you suffer from this debilitating affliction, contact Infinite Dental Wellness today—our professionally-trained dental professionals and oral surgeons will swiftly and painlessly remove cysts, tumors, fibroma, oral polyps, and more. Depending on the location of the dental cyst and severity of the damage inflicted, patients may require root canals or tooth extractions; we will decide the best course of action to prevent further harm to your soft oral tissue.
Why do dental cysts form?
Dental cysts can form at the tip of the roots of dead teeth. They can also form around the crowns (and roots) of buried teeth. Most cysts form because the teeth they are associated with have died (infection or trauma). Others form because of a mistake in the way the teeth have developed (including being unable to grow into the mouth properly). Rarely, dental cysts are part of a genetic syndrome that has other symptoms (eg Gorlin’s syndrome).
The most common kinds of cysts that form in the oral cavity are periapical cysts, which are caused by infections spreading to the pulp of a tooth, or dentigerous cysts, which usually form around impacted wisdom teeth. Although they are not in themselves harmful, most dentists and oral surgeons suggest their removal, since as they expand they can weaken or damage surrounding tissue and bone or affect the position of surrounding teeth.
Cyst removal can usually be done under a local anesthetic in a simple surgical procedure. If the cyst is very large, more extensive surgery may be required to reconstruct the bone after the cyst has been removed. Follow-up will with your dentist or oral surgeon will probably be necessary for some time afterward to make sure that the cyst does not grow.

METALOKERAMIČKE KRUNE

Metalo-keramičke porcelanske navlake kao osnovu sadrže metal, na taj metal se kasnije u laboratoriji nanosi zubna keramika i dobija se forma zuba.
Sam metal kao podloga dentalne krune predstavlja sa svojom sivom bojom problem u dobijanju vrhunskih estetskih rezultata. Koliko god se metal prekrio zubnom keramikom uvek će kroz boju zuba probijati siva nijansa kao posledica metala kao podloge. Kod izrade zubnih keramičkih krunica svetlih i belih boja to može predstavljati veći problem nego kod pacjenata koji ne žele bele i sjajne zube. Iz pomenutog razloga sve češće se pacijenti koji ne mogu da priušte izradu svih zuba od cirkonijumskih bezmetlanih krunica odlučuju da prednje zube izrade od bezmetalne keramike na primer od trojke do trojke, a zadnje zube presvuku metalo-keramičkim dentalnim krunama. U ovom slučaju se razlika u boji uočava između trojke, koja je bezmetalna dentalna krunica, i četvorke, koja je metalo-keramička zubna krunica. Ova razlika u boji se posebnim načinom brušenja i bojenja same zubne keramike u zubnoj laboratoriji svodi na najmanju moguću meru.
U slučajevima kada pacijenti poseduju i metalne zubne krunice i bezmetalne keramičke navlake najbolje se može opisati šta pacijentima znači sama razlika. Pacijenti navode da na mestima gde imaju metalne keramičke krunice se teže i duže navikavaju na nove dentalne navlake, da je osećaj drugačiji, da je boja malo drugačija dok se na nove bezmetalne krunice navikavaju jedan ili dva dana i osećaj je najpribližniji prirodnim zubima.
To se može najviše pripisati svojstvima cirkonijuma koji je biokompatabilan za razliku od metala. Metal u metalo-keramičkim zubnim krunicama može proizvesti i pojavu galvanskih struja u ustima i veću iritaciju mekog tkiva tj. desni a nekad i alergijske rekacije na mekom tkivu tj. desnima.

Naravno da je metal kod metalo-keramičkih zubnih kruna pokriven sa svih strana sa zubnom keramikom i u ustima se on ne vidi ali sam taj rub gde je kraj krunice ipak ima sivu boju jer je tu najtanja keramika i poželjno je postaviti zubnu metalo-keramičku krunu blago ispod desni kako bi se to sakrilo, pogotovo u prednjim delovima zubnih vilica tj. visoko estetskim zonama.
Izrada zubnih metalnih kruna i njihovo planiranje ispod desni dovodi vremenom do povlačenja desni i gubitka kosti a isto tako i do reakcije mekog tkiva tj. desni na strano telo. Shodno tome period navikavanja na metalo-keramičke zubne navlake je uvek duži nego na bezmetalne keramičke cirkonijumske krunice. Nekad se pacijenti naviknu na nove zubne krune i nakon par dana ali nekad je potrebno da prođe i godinu dana da pacijenti imaju potuno prirodan osećaj sa novim zubnim keramičkim krunicama.

Cirkonijumske keramičke krunice omogućavaju bolje estetske rezultate ali i biološke rezultate jer ne postoji reakcija mekog tkiva na cirkonijum.
Što se tiče same boje, cirkonijum, kao osnova bezmetalnih keramičkih krunica, se boji u željenu boju budućih zuba i zahvaljujući tome se postiže maksimalni esteski rezultat, ako je izabrana boja budućih keramčkih porcelanskih navlaka A1 onda se i cirkonijum kao podloga bezmetalne krune oboji u A1, za razliku od metala koji je uvek sive metalne boje.

Takođe usled nepostojanja sivog metala cirkonijumska navlaka se može brusiti i planirati tik do desni i neće se pojaviti esteski probelm da se “vidi metal” niti će vremenom doći do povlačenja desni usled iritacijie zubnim keramičkim krunicama.
Nekad se može desiti da dođe do povlačenja desni i kod bezmetlanih keramičkih krunica ali povlačenje desni se javlja i kod prirodnih zuba koji nemaju zubne dentalne keramičke krunice.
Važno je samo da zubna cirkonijumska krunica ne vrši pritisak na zubno mesto i da meko tkivo tj. desni nisu upaljenje, inficirane i jarko crvene boje jer će to sledstveno dovesti do povlačenja desni i gubitka kosti.

Što se tiče razlike u čvrstoći i jačini između zirconiuma i metala treba napomenuti da je zubni cirkonijum mnogo čvršći i tvrđi materijal u odnosu na metal, međutim to može nekad biti i mana.
U slučajevima kada je potrebno izraditi zubni keramički most npr. izmedju 3ke i 8ce takav zubni keramički most je bolje izraditi od metalo-keramičke konstrukcije nego od cirkonijumske bezmetalne konstrukcije.
Metal za razliku od cirkonijuma poseduje elastičnost pa je na velikim rastojanjima moguće njegovo blago ugibanje za razliku od cirkonijuma kod koga može doći do preloma same cirkonijumske bezmetalne konstrukcije.
Čak i ako pacijent insistira na izradi bezmetalne cirkonijumske keramičke konstrukcije velikog rastojanja uvek je poželjnije taj razmak premostiti sa jednim dentalnim implantatom iako se to kosi sa principom “ne vezivanja zubnog impalntata i prirodnog zuba” nego rizikovati prelom cirkonijumske zubne konstrukcije.

LASER TEETH WHITENING

Until recently, the most common way to whiten teeth was to soak them in a solution of hydrogen peroxide or a similar substance. The procedure could be completed at home (using a weak peroxide solution) or in the dentist’s office (using a strong solution) – although often not covered by dental plans. Either way, whitening was completed over the course of several days or weeks.

As tooth whitening became more popular, some cosmetic dentists began to use lasers or similar lights to speed up the chemical reaction of the whitening solution. This whitened the teeth faster and required fewer whitening sessions. Unlike peroxide whitening, the new laser whitening cannot be done at home; it must be completed under the supervision of a qualified dentist.

All forms of tooth whitening work by releasing oxygen ions from a tooth whitening gel, which gently lift stains from the teeth. The laser simply lifts the stains faster. Another advantage of the laser is that (depending on the type of laser used) it can more easily be used to bleach one tooth at a time. This is helpful when one tooth is more discolored than the surrounding teeth.

Basic Steps to Laser Teeth Whitening: If you decide to get laser teeth whitening, your dentist will follow an established procedure with a few basic steps:

Screening
It is recommended that pregnant women and adolescents delay laser teeth whitening if possible. If tooth discoloration is a significant concern, teenagers can have their teeth whitened with close supervision by a dentist.

During the initial screening, the dentist will also check to see if your gums have receded to expose a significant amount of the tooth root. If this is the case, your teeth may bleach somewhat unevenly, because the roots of teeth are resistant to bleaching. The dentist may be able to offer alternatives to bleaching.

Pre-Treatment
The next step is for the dentist or hygienist to clean your teeth. He or she will also ensure that all cavities are treated and filled, because otherwise the whitening solution could pe*****te through the cavity into the interior of your tooth.

Medication
Any form of tooth whitening can cause temporary sensitivity, especially in persons who already have some sensitivity in their teeth. For this reason, your dentist may prescribe a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication prior to the first whitening session.

The Whitening
When it’s time to begin whitening, you’ll lean back in the dentist chair as usual, and the dentist will use a rubber or plastic guard to hold your mouth open.

Next, the dentist will apply a barrier over your gums to protect them from the whitening solution. This barrier is often applied as a gel which hardens to a protective rubber-like layer. When the gums are fully protected, the dentist will use a syringe to apply a whitening compound to the front of your teeth. The dentist will use a pen-style laser to activate the compound, which will cause it to foam somewhat as it lifts the stains away.

When all of the teeth have been whitened by the laser, the dentist will allow the compound to remain for a few minutes, and then wipe off the whitening compound using a small vacuum tool. He or she will then apply a new layer of compound and repeat the process as many as three times.

You’ll know that you’re reaching the end of the session when the dentist carefully rinses your mouth out, then gently removes the protective layer from your gums.

Follow-up: The teeth whitening process is not permanent. Teeth can be re-stained, especially by ci******es, beverages such as coffee or tea, or some foods. You may need to schedule a follow-up whitening session; the effectiveness of the whitening lasts for as few as six months or as long as several years.

After a whitening session, you may find that your teeth have increased sensitivity, especially in the first few days. This varies by patient; some report no sensitivity, more report mild sensitivity, and a few patients have compared it to being hit by a hammer. Your dentist can prescribe medication to avoid or reduce sensitivity, and of course the sensitivity will wear off after a few days. You should also follow up with your dentist if you find that your gums are white or sore, but this is less common than sensitivity.

If you’re ready for laser teeth whitening, call a professional dentist today. He or she can describe these steps in more detail and answer any remaining questions you may have.

SVAKI ZUB JE POVEZAN SA NEKIM ORGANOM U TELU

Čak i najmanje oštećenje zuba može predstavljati problem povezan sa svim organima. Prema stručnjacima, gornji i donji sekutići (prvi i drugi) održavaju normalno stanje bubrega i mokraćne bešike. Očnjaci- normalno stanje jetre i žuči. Pretkutnjaci (4 i 5) nas mogu upozoriti na stanje pluća i debelog creva, kutnjaci ( 6 i 7) na stanje žuči, slezIne i gušterače, a umnjaci na bolesti srca i tankog creva.
Nemojte pogrešno shvatiti, ne prati svaku bolest oštećenje zuba. Nekada se pacijenti žale, jer osete bol na mestima gde su uklonili zube. To je tzv. fantomskI bol, a dešava se zbog signala koje šalju bolesni organi do zuba. Ako znate o toj povezanosti, možete lako otkriti koji vam je organ bolestan. Između unutrašnjih organa i zuba postoji jaka veza. Npr, bolesni zubi uzrokuju glavobolje. Ako je upalni proces prisutan u korenu zuba, bol će biti prisutan u parijetalnom delu. Lezije gornjih sekutića uzrokuju bol u frontalnom području i očnjacima. Ono što treba znati, jeste da je bol prvog i drugog sekutića pokazatelj hroničnog pijelonefritisa (infekcija gornjeg dela urinarnog trakta), cistitisa (bakterijska infekcija mokraćne bešike) i otitisa (upale uha). Prvi sekutić može biti pokazatelj tonsilitisa, osteohondrosisa (bolest zglobova)...
U slučaju holecistitisa (akutno zapaljenje zida žučne kese) ili hepatitisa, prisutan je konstantan tup bol. Bolovi četvrtog i petog kutnjaka, mogu biti uzroci kolitisa, hronične upale pluća, alergijskih reakcija (astma, rinosinusitis). Ako osećate bol četvrtog kutnjaka, gornjeg i donjeg, verovatno imate problem sa zglobovima kolena, ramena, možda patite od upalnih procesa povezanih sa artritisom, bolestima crijeva... Bolovi šestica i sedmice (gornji) su pokazatelji gastritisa, čira na želucu, pankreatitisa, anemije i čira dvanaestopalačnog creva. Bol u gornjoj šestici je povezan sa sinusitis tonsilitisom, tumorima štitne žlijezde, upalom jajnika i slezine. Bol donje šestice ukazuje na problem sa arterijama, arterosklerozu. Stručnjaci kažu da problemi sa donjom sedmicom ukazuju na probleme sa venama, plućima (bronhitis, astma, upala), prisutnost polipa u debelom crievu. Treba znati da, ako imate problema sa umnjacima, to može biti povezano sa bolestima srca i kongenitalnim oštećenjima. Karijes upozorava na probleme sa endokrinim sistemom i čir želuca.
