Prosthesis
In cases where the teeth and surrounding tissues are lost or completely destroyed for various reasons, the materials used to repair or replace them are called prostheses.
TYPES OF PROSTHESIS
1. FIXED PROSTHESES (CHROME-BRIDGE-LIKE ADHESIVE PROSTHESES)
2. MOVABLE PROSTHESES (TOTAL AND SECTIONAL PROSTHESES)
3. ON IMPLANT PROSTHESES (FIXED AND MOVABLE)
4. FLEXIBLE MOVABLE PROSTHESES
1. FIXED PROSTHESIS
Adhesive prostheses such as crown-bridge that the patient does not remove himself.
Crown: It is the process of reducing and covering teeth that have decayed, broken or otherwise excessive material loss.
Bridge: In the absence of one or more teeth, it is the process of reducing the adjacent teeth and filling the gaps by getting support from the special coatings that come to them.
When tooth loss occurs for any reason, neighboring teeth begin to move towards this space. As a result, gingival problems in the adjacent teeth, bone loss due to tipping into this space, deterioration in aesthetics and changes in chewing forces occur. If this gap is not restored with an implant or bridge for a long time, these adjacent teeth may also be lost.
Metal supported crowns and bridges
Standard metal "quotni-co" or precious metal "quotau" alloys can be used as infrastructure. Gold is one of the most precious materials used in dentistry, compatible with teeth and gums. Therefore, more healthy and aesthetic results are obtained with applications made using precious metals.
Metal-free crowns and bridges
They are made of reinforced porcelain. While many things affect the appearance of crowns, the most important is their response to light. Natural teeth transmit light. As a result, depth and vitality appear in the tooth. Due to the light transmission properties of porcelain crowns without metal support (full porcelain), their depth and vitality are greater, thus achieving the closest results to natural teeth.

2. MOVABLE PROSTHESES
Total Prostheses:
It is applied to mouths where all teeth are missing.
Parsiel Prostheses:
Classical Partial Prosthesis : It is applied to partially toothless pain. Retention is provided with nails and hooks on the teeth.
Precision Retained Partial Dentures: It is applied to partially edentulous mouths. They are aesthetic prostheses that do not have any visible apparatus such as hooks.
Unilateral Precision Partial Prostheses
Single-sided precision partial dentures offer wide possibilities for the patient. It is designed to meet patient satisfaction and expectation.
Double-Sided Precision Partial Prosthesis
3. OVER IMPLANT PROSTHESES (FIXED AND MOVABLE)
Fixed : Bridges and crowns made with support from the implant.
Moveable: They are total-like prostheses made with the support of preferred implants in mouths with insufficient bone support.
4. FLEXIBLE REMOVABLE PROSTHESES
These prostheses, which are widely used in the world but not recognized in our country, are elastic partial prostheses. These flexible prostheses fit very well into the recesses and protrusions of the mouth. Especially diabetic patients whose wounds heal late can easily prefer these prostheses.
The fact that there is no need for any action on the natural teeth of the patients during the construction of the Flexible Removable Dentures provides gains for our patients in terms of both cost and time. Our patients get their prosthesis in a very short time.
One of the biggest advantages of these prostheses is that metal is not needed. They are aesthetic prostheses that do not have a metal crochet look. The most important feature of the material used in the production of Flexible Removable Dentures is that it is anti-allergic.
