Prosthetics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the restoration of the functions of the dental-maxillary apparatus by prosthesis with fixed and mobile prostheses, whose mission is to obtain a functional and aesthetically balanced dental arch. Prosthetic works are performed following a complex and complete analysis of each case, through an optimal collaboration with dental technicians. The choice of technicians is done according to the complexity of each case.
Prosthetic works can be:
- crowns: aesthetically and functionally reconstitutes a single tooth decayed or fractured. These can be metallic-ceramic, completely ceramic or ceramic on zirconium
- dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth
- mobilizable dental prostheses are indicated for cases that do not allow fixed prosthesis; prostheses are anchored by special systems to the remaining teeth and can be removed by the patient for hygienic purposes (skeletal, partial acrylic, flexible prostheses).
- mobile dental prostheses are extensive prosthetic works used in cases of total edentation (complete prostheses).
- the dental facets are used mainly for aesthetic considerations. With the help of the dental facets, the problems related to issues of aesthetic appearance of a tooth are improved (discoloration, irregular surface or shape).
- dental inlays are an alternative to the fillings, representing minimally invasive solutions if the tooth has suffered significant tissue loss, but a dental crown is not yet recommended for restoration purposes.
