Fillings Crowns and Dentures

No ones the true inventor. It appears that even during BC dates, people managed to use animal and human teeth to form a sort of false teeth/denture. http://wiki.answers.com/w/index.php?title=Alexis_Duchâteau&action=edit&redlink=1 is credited with making the first porcelain denture set.

Probably. The long-term prognosis on teeth with fractured roots is usually poor.

The saddle of a removable partial denture serves two purposes. First, it replaces the bone which previously supported your natural tooth and has resorbed after extraction. This supports your facial contours , shapes your sound chamber and provides a base of support to the partial in the areas where it will be riding on tissue to distribute biting forces. Secondly, it provides retention for the artificial premanufactured denture teeth through means of chemical bond with acrylic teeth and mechanical encapture with porcelain teeth. Typically the saddle is the pink acrylic part of a removable partial denture, but may be metal. flexible resin or another material.

For posterior teeth (back teeth especially like teeth #2 and 19), a monolithic zirconia crown would serve you better in the long term due to its strength. Captek has a very thin layer of metal and I don't think it would have the strength necessary for long term stability.

Yes, dentures are healthy for your gums. You apply dentures with a special glue that is not harmful to your gums. As long as you use glue that is specifically made for dentures, you should be fine.

Only if it's your dentist or someone working in the dental office who is qualified, that is doing the 'filing'. If by 'filing' you mean 'adjusting your bite', you should be okay.

You can use dentures as part of your medical expenses if you file a long-form Schedule A.

I am not sure what you mean, but: If you are talking about the crown PORTION (top) of the tooth, if it has broken off, you have to cut with a scalpel (Bard-Parker) just a bit around the gum, then you use a periosteal elevator to loosen the peridontal ligament all around the root of the tooth, then you get forceps that have the same shape as the root you are trying to remove (sort of a birds beak) to grab the root and wiggle it around until it comes out. Hopefully, if the root is otherwise healthy, it WONT CRACK.........if that happens, you just have to take more time to remove the pieces. Now, WHY is the tooth being extracted? You (DEPENDING ON THE HEALTH OF THE TOOTH IN QUESTION) can do a pin build-up of the broken off crown, and use a 'mold' to make a stub and then do an impression, and make a new crown, you don't necessarily HAVE to extract the tooth, unless the patient is requesting it because of money constraints.

rinse your mouth with hot water for about 30 seconds

Are you planning on putting the denture back in your mouth? This is important because you'll want to know if the glue happens to be carcinogenic (causes cancer) or if it has toxic properties that can make you sick. You will also want to be sure that the glue is biocompatible as well as designed for use with the particular material your denture is made of. You'll want to pay close attention to those studies that recorded the results of storing the cured glue in a warm, moist container at approximatedly 98.6 degrees for long periods of time.

You will also want to make sure you use an appropriate dental articulator with a stone model of your mouth and dentition so as to get the occlusion correct. Failure to do so, even being off by a fraction of a millimeter can result in the denture being unwearable. Also be aware that you will probably only get one chance to make this repair correctly. It is likely that that glue will obliterate the fracture, rendering the denture unrepairable from that point.

Or, you could go to a dentist who can have your denture repaired perfectly within just a few hours.

Torus palatinus (Boney growth on the roof of the mouth) can make it difficult or impossible to properly fit a denture. An upper denture is designed to create a mild suction on the roof of the mouth in order to hold it in place. A torus can interfere with this function.

The good news is that a torus can be easily removed by an oral surgeon. Once the surgical site has healed, the impressions for the upper denture can be taken and the denture can be properly fitted.

You should check Dental Schools in your area. Alot of universities have dental schools where student dentists will treat the public, and the cost is 30% of that of a regular dentist. Good Luck.

I understand that prices in Eastern Europe are very inexpensive for good-quality, modern dental care, far below the prices of dental care by inexperienced students in the US. The interior of Mexico is also good, and I would check with the faculty at dental schools. Prices in Mexico coud be as little as 10% of the price in New York. Some dental schools, like NYU and Columbia University are no bargains at all, and charge as much a lot of experienced dentists.

American dental schools are frequenly much more expensive than the local private dentists. They have discovered they can treat people who receive medicaid or other assistance at the newest and highest allowable rates. They also want their students to get all of the different kinds of experiences possible so they frequently run patients through procedures which they usually do not expect. Nonetheless, there is a government allowed rate for every procedure and they can collect those fees also.

I watched an episode of Doctor G. Medical Examiner, in which an older gentleman suffocated and died due to swallowing his dentures in his sleep. The dramatizations on the show are not real, but the story and death itself is real. Please be very careful, because it can and DOES happen.

There are many factors to consider. Are the teeth salvageable? Is the patient in good health? How old is the patient? How many teeth are involved? Can the patient afford the procedure?

With any procedure, (or no procedure) there are associated risks. There are also reasonable benefits to be expected, and there are almost always alternatives to be considered. All these need to be discussed in depth with the dentist until the patient is satisfied that they are making an informed decision. Sometimes, it is reasonable to seek a second opinion before making a decision on how to proceed.

So, get adequate answers to the following questions before deciding:

1. What is the dentist's recommended treatment?
2. What are the short term and long term risks associated with the recommended treatment?
3. What benefits can the patient reasonably expect as a result of the procedure?
4. What alternatives should be considered?
5. What can the patient expect if nothing is done?
6. How much is it going to cost?
