Implant teeth-porcelain teeth, silly can not tell?

For people who can't tell the difference between implant teeth and porcelain teeth, the subsequent teeth will suffer more.

First of all, let's start with their concepts.

Implant teeth: implant an artificial root equivalent to a nail in the alveolar bone of the missing tooth, and then insert a porcelain tooth on it, both in appearance and function like your own real tooth.

Porcelain teeth: grind the two adjacent healthy teeth small, and then put the porcelain teeth on, and the worn natural teeth will not regenerate, which is equivalent to permanent damage.

Secondly, both implant and porcelain teeth are for dental restoration, but there is a big difference between the two.

Moreover, both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of dental implants:

1) basically no pain: dental implant is a minor operation, the whole operation can be completed in tens of minutes to a few hours, "immediate use" dental implant can shorten the time to less than 60 minutes.

2) five injuries to neighboring teeth: exist independently like natural teeth and do not need to wear out healthy neighboring teeth.

3) comfortable and stable: the implant teeth are fully fixed, and there are no hooks or covers of traditional dentures.

4) similar to real teeth: the appearance and function of implant teeth are the same as real teeth, easy to use and easy to clean.

5) the service life can be as long as 40 years.

Disadvantages:

1) the price of implant teeth is higher than that of traditional dentures and porcelain teeth.

2) there is a certain degree of technical difficulty, and the technical requirements for doctors are higher.

3) there is a strict range of adaptation, not all people with missing teeth are suitable for dental implants.

Advantages of porcelain teeth:

1) good edge closure. The manufacture of porcelain teeth requires edge fitting, in the subgingival 1mm, coupled with a special non-water-soluble adhesive material to ensure the edge seal.

2) good biocompatibility. In particular, porcelain teeth and all-ceramic teeth made of biological precious metals are anti-corrosive and non-allergic because of their electrochemical inertia.

3) extremely high strength. After melting and combining with ceramic powder at high temperature, it is enough to withstand the chewing force in the mouth, and the bonding force between precious metal and ceramic teeth is stronger.

4) the price is cheaper than that of dental implants.

Disadvantages:

1) destroy healthy neighboring teeth

2) short service life

3) when the ordinary stainless steel porcelain teeth are worn for a period of time, a dark gray edge can be seen on the gingival margin.

Finally, in the restoration of missing teeth, we should combine our own conditions and choose a suitable restoration scheme.
