When people reach old age, they will have more or less all kinds of health problems, and their teeth will become weak or damaged in their later years. Such a phenomenon will bring a lot of inconvenience to the life of the elderly, especially in terms of diet, so now dentures are a very common thing, but in fact, repairing damaged teeth is the ultimate choice of many older people, the installation of dentures to pay attention to some matters in the process of wearing it? Take a look at it. The installation of a denture is a restorative method usually chosen by the elderly, the denture that the people speak of dentures. As for whether to install a fixed denture or an active denture, according to their own situation to choose. Fixed denture is also called “dead tooth”, is the use of missing teeth adjacent to the natural teeth for support, through the denture on the retention body paste fixed to the natural teeth, the patient can not take off and wear. Fixed denture can restore high chewing efficiency, and comfortable, beautiful and no foreign body feeling. However, it is required that the teeth on both sides of the missing teeth are strong, normal in shape and position, no excessive wear and tilt displacement, healthy periodontal tissue, no gum recession, etc.; secondly, there should not be too many missing teeth, 1 to 2 teeth missing is appropriate, no serious resorption of the alveolar ridge in the missing teeth area, and flat and smooth without pressure pain. If necessary, a part of the surrounding healthy teeth should be removed, and there is a certain amount of pain. A removable denture, also known as a “living denture”, is a restoration that can be freely taken and worn by the patient by using the natural teeth and the mucosa and bone tissue covered by the abutment for support and relying on the retainer and abutment for retention. It has a wide range of adaptations and can repair defects in any part of the dentition and alveolar ridge, and the number of missing teeth can range from one missing tooth to multiple missing teeth or even the whole mouth. The disadvantage of the denture is that it is large in size and has many parts, which often causes foreign body sensation, difficulty in pronunciation and even nausea, and the chewing efficiency is not as good as fixed denture. After the denture is installed, you should pay attention to care, brush your “teeth” after meals and before going to bed to remove the accumulated food residues and keep your mouth clean. The removable denture can be taken down and brushed with toothpaste using a soft bristle brush. Temporarily unused dentures should be soaked in baking soda solution or rice water before going to bed, not in hot water. The denture is made of polymer material, so be careful to hold it firmly when brushing and taking it on to prevent it from falling on the floor and cracking. If you have a full denture installed, if you still have pressure pain in the gums after repairing it several times, it may be an inflammation of the gums. In addition to taking anti-inflammatory drugs, you can also peel and slice purple garlic and contain it by biting it with your gums 3 times a day, which has a good anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect. Gum pain may also be a lack of vitamins, especially vitamin C. A serious lack of vitamin C can cause scurvy, bleeding gums, atrophy or inflammation of the tissues in the denture area, and the lack of vitamin C weakens the ability of the oral tissues to adjust to the denture and forms damage to the soft tissues. The solution is to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to replenish vitamin C and other nutrients. Even if a fixed denture is installed, when the patient is confused or in danger of convulsions, care should be taken to prevent the denture from loosening after prolonged use or loosening under strong force, resulting in accidental aspiration of the denture into the lungs and causing asphyxiation.
