(1) Dental implants: artificial tooth roots are implanted in the alveolar bone of the missing teeth, and then porcelain teeth are made in the upper part, which are fixed dentures and do not need to be worn and are closest to the physiological state.
(2) Porcelain teeth: The healthy teeth before and after the extraction are ground down to one circle, and then the teeth before and after the extraction are restored in the form of braces, which are also fixed dentures and do not need to be taken out and worn.

1.What is a sulcus closure?
A: It is an effective method to prevent the occurrence of caries by using harmless material to coat the tooth sockets without removing the tooth tissue and protecting the tooth from the erosion of bacteria and metabolites to form an effective protective barrier.
2.How old can children have their sockets closed? A: Different age groups can have their teeth sealed
For children aged 3~4 years old, seal the milk molar
For children aged 6~9 years old, the first permanent molar should be closed (sixth age teeth), and for children aged 12~15 years old, the second permanent molar should be closed.
3.The indications for sealing the sulcus?
The best time: teeth are fully erupted and no caries has occurred yet.
The most suitable age: the milk molar is 3~4 years old, the first permanent molar is 6~7 years old, the second permanent molar is 11~13 years old The sulcus is deep and the probe can be inserted or stuck.
The sulcus is deep enough to insert or jam the probes (including suspected caries) of other teeth, especially for sympathetic teeth with caries or tendency to have caries.
