Temporary crowns are temporary structures that are installed on a prepared tooth until a permanent prosthesis is installed.
They perform several functions at once:
- They protect the ground down tooth from external influences, such as bacteria and temperature changes, which helps to avoid inflammation and pain.
- They maintain the aesthetics of the smile, especially if the tooth is being replaced in the smile zone.
- They prevent teeth from shifting during the waiting period for a permanent crown.
- They allow the patient to get used to new sensations in the mouth, especially if the shape of the tooth or the bite has changed.
Temporary crowns are made of simpler materials, such as plastic or composite, and are installed for a short period of time.
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the volume of bone tissue that may have been lost due to a long-term absence of a tooth or gum disease. It is especially important when installing implants, since a sufficient amount of bone tissue is necessary for the successful insertion of an implant. Without bone grafting, the implant may not have the necessary support and fixation.
The procedure may involve the use of the patient's own tissues or synthetic materials. As a result, the anatomical structure of the jaw is restored, which allows for high-quality prosthetics.
An abutment is a special connecting element that is fixed to the implant after its successful integration into the bone. It acts as a "connecting link" between the implant and the crown. The abutment can be made of titanium, zirconium or their combinations, and its choice depends on the specific clinical situation.
Installation of the abutment is an important part of the process of prosthetics on implants, as it ensures a strong connection and proper fit of the crown on the implant. Without the abutment, the crown will not be able to be fixed correctly, which will lead to problems with function and aesthetics.
A pin is a metal or fiberglass rod that is inserted into the root canal of a tooth to strengthen it. Installing a pin is necessary in cases where a significant portion of the crown of the tooth is destroyed, and there is not enough of the patient's own tissue to install a crown or bridge.
The procedure for installing a pin allows you to:
- Strengthen a weakened tooth.
- Create a reliable foundation for a future crown.
- Restore the functionality of the tooth without removing it.
Pins are especially useful in prosthetics of severely damaged teeth, when preserving the root part allows you to avoid the need to install implants.
