Prosthetic Dentistry pertains to the diagnosis, treatment
planning, rehabilitation and maintenance of the oral function, comfort,
appearance and health of patients with clinical conditions associated
with missing or deficient teeth and or tissues using biocompatible
substitutes .
Oral function is restored through dentures
complete and partial,fixed bridges, crowns of various materials ,
implant supported dentures.
| CROWNS - Full
coverage restorations of the teeth. |
|
CROWNS - Typically porcelain crowns are placed when a significant amount of
tooth structure is lost and when placing a filling would jeopardize the integrity
of the tooth or compromise the aethetics or strength.
Generally, they cover the top
of the tooth and go down the side of the tooth, holding it together to prevent further
damage to the teeth.
The newer porcelain crowns
are called "second-generation" materials because they are stronger and
more durable than the original porcelain type materials that were used thirty years
ago. These new materials have more flex, better wear, more translucency to match
the natural color of your teeth and they bond better to either the tooth or the metal
underneath the porcelain on the porcelain/metal crowns.
All
Porcelain Crowns can provide the same sort of major cosmetic changes
that porcelain veneers can make. However, unlike porcelain veneers that
only cover over the front sides of teeth, All Porcelain Crowns cup over
and encase the entire aspect of a tooth which lies above the gum line.
In comparison to porcelain veneers, All Porcelain Crowns are stronger
and more durable but because making one involves trimming away a
significant amount of tooth structure they usually aren't the best
choice for making a cosmetic change for a tooth, unless the tooth also
requires the non-cosmetic benefits the crown can provide.

At Dr Swarup's We Offer you the world's top all Ceramic Crown from Nobel Biocare.
Nobel Biocare's unique Procera® technology offers aesthetic and
functional dental restorations. Based on the latest scanning, CAD/CAM
(computer aided designing and computer aided milling) and manufacturing
technologies, the Procera® system provides completely individualized prosthesis with unbeatable precise fit for crowns, laminates,
abutments and bridges.
Procera® AllCeram is a coping made extremely densely-sintered aluminum oxide.
The
coping is produced in an industrial process known as the Procera®
method, which ensures optimal fit, great strength, non-porosity and has
the ability to transmit light without being transparent.
- First universally recommended all-ceramic crown for both anterior and posterior applications.
- Densely sintered Aluminous oxide coping milled using CAD-CAM technology for optim
al fit.
- All Cerami
c low abrasion porcelain is specially adapted to the coping's translucence and fluorescence.
- Allows light to pass through but won't show grey from posts or amalgams.

| | BRIDGES -
Replacement of a missing tooth or teeth. |
|
BRIDGES are placed when there are one or more
teeth missing and the objective is to stabilize the bite, prevent
the adjacent teeth from tilting, and the opposing teeth from dropping
down into the space that has been lost.
When there is no adjacent
tooth on one side, we may do a cantilever bridge, which is supported
by only one tooth. (It can have two teeth on one side and then extend
out on the other by itself.) There are a few different types of
bridges including the Maryland Bridge, which can be placed conservatively
in the areas that have low torque and two teeth that have never
been touched.
Procera® Bridge Zirconia up to 9 units
- Extends the span for existing bridges from four units within 15 x 50 mm to bridgemaintaineds from 25 x 60 mm
- Marginal fit to less than 15 microns along full length of bridge
- Excellent esthetics when combined with NobelRondo™
- Highly biocompatible material
- Indicated for all positions within the mouth
Procera® Bridge Alumina
- Densely sintered Alumina bridge
- maintaineded for the anterior region, premolar to premolar
- Unsurpassed light transmission for the best cosmetic results
- Possible with conventional cementation, saving valuable chair time compared to bonding

| DENTURES -
Replacement of a missing teeth or a full arch. |
|
DENTURES generally refers to the replacement of an entire arch of teeth with
a removable appliance with either plastic or porcelain teeth on it.
If there are
a few teeth left, then it is referred to as a PARTIAL DENTURE. This will either
have acrylic base holding it in place, or it will have metal clasps to secure it
to the adjacent teeth.
Generally when a denture is placed for the first time, it
takes a while to get used to it, since it is a foreign body in your mouth. Dentures
should be cleaned because they can build up
tarter on them as well
