Whether movable dentures or fixed dentures can cause a lot of discomfort, including pain, and these discomforts are generally modifiable, here will wear dentures in addition to the pain of many discomfort symptoms appropriate and adapt listed for the reference of patients wearing dentures, so that they have a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of the denture after wearing.
1, denture retention is not good, easy to fall off.
This mainly occurs in the full denture and part of the movable dentures. When biting food, talking, coughing, rinsing or adding dentures with tongue easy to fall off, even without any activity also fall off.
There are three reasons for this.
(1) Production reasons, such as imbalance in the bite of the denture, the edge of the denture abutment is too extended or too short to form a good edge closure. The abutment and tissue do not fit tightly; the denture teeth are arranged too much to the buccal or lingual side, affecting the occlusal balance and tongue movement; the movable denture ring is not in a good position, no ring role. These can be modified through follow-up examinations to address the causes.
(2) The patient’s oral cavity itself is caused by anatomical conditions, such as all the teeth are missing, the tooth socket is heavily resorbed and becomes low and flat, as well as missing teeth for too long resulting in an oversized tongue, which affects the retention. In addition to the measures taken by the doctor, the patient has to gradually adapt to these conditions by insisting on trying on the dentures. If the retention is still poor, consider using denture adhesives or surgery to improve the condition. Since dentures, especially full dentures are different from normal teeth, they are easy to fall off when opening the mouth or biting food and hard objects. Consider cutting the food into thin slices or pieces before biting.
Wear for a long time appears to be poorly fixed, mostly due to alveolar absorption and surface wear, should be repaired or rebuilt dentures.
(3) full dentures in the case of coughing, yawning and other open mouth too large may fall off, this is due to open mouth too large when the air into the destruction of the solids. Once patients are familiar with this situation, they can avoid making dislocating movements and practice using their lips, cheeks and tongue to assist in retaining the denture. When rinsing the mouth, the dentures should be removed in order to rinse clean.
2. After wearing dentures, there is an increase in saliva, nausea and reduced sense of taste.
These phenomena are temporary, after a period of adaptation can gradually return to normal. The increase in saliva is due to the denture just put into the mouth, not yet adapted, the denture as a foreign body will stimulate the salivary glands to secrete more. Nausea is caused by the edge of the denture abutment being too long, or not fitting tightly with the mucosa and loosening, and the irritation of the oral tissues, especially the maxillary denture on sensitive areas such as the soft palate.
It can also be relieved after modification of the fit and after a general period of persistent trial wear and adaptation. Dentures do not directly affect the taste receptors, only due to foreign body sensation and affect the sense of taste, generally after a period of trial wear, will also return to normal
3, the denture to take wear difficult.
May be due to the position of the denture carabiner is not suitable, the carabiner is too tight or plastic tight against the abutment teeth and other reasons. The position of the rings can be adjusted by the physician. Difficulty in taking on the denture due to the wrong direction, should be repeatedly practiced under the guidance of the physician.
Before wearing the denture, you should determine the up and down, front and back, left and right direction of the denture, put the denture into the mouth with the index finger, middle finger and thumb, and then press the denture lightly in the direction of the alveoli to make it seated. When removing the dentures, dislocate them in the opposite direction, or make one side of the ring dislocate first to the face, and then remove the dentures. Do not wear roughly, so as not to damage the dentures and nearby teeth.
4, wear dentures after pronunciation is not clear.
First wear dentures, especially full dentures, because the range of motion of the tongue is restricted, can often appear temporary pronunciation disorders. If the denture is not well fixed, the abutment is too thick, too large, or the position of the teeth of the denture is biased towards the tongue, the impact on pronunciation is more obvious. These problems should be modified in time. It is more important to rely on patients to gradually adapt, adjust, exercise, and consciously practice the often unintelligible sounds, most of them can quickly restore the normal pronunciation function.
5. Low chewing efficiency of dentures.
The bad shape of the occlusal surface of the denture, as well as the low bite or the flattening of the surface due to long-term use, can reduce the chewing efficiency. Therefore, when it appears that you can not bite the food or chew hard, you should go to the hospital to modify. This can be done by raising the denture face, improving the face profile, making grooves, or burying wear plates in the denture, which can be better restored. However, if the chewing function is poor due to poor retention, it should first restore the retention force.
6, denture bite cheek, bite tongue.
(1) Because the oral cavity is not yet adapted to the denture, it cannot be applied freely.
(2) artificial teeth arranged too much to the buccal or lingual side, the upper and lower jaw teeth super or anti-relationship is small, such as the tip of the tip of the opposite, or the tip of the real teeth is too sharp. The former should insist on wearing, so that they gradually adapt, the latter need to go to the hospital to modify.
7, wear dentures after the embedded food.
Some patients wear dentures after the brackets and mucous membrane, between the denture and the real teeth, between the ring and the real teeth can appear food embedding, these need to be modified during the follow-up.
8, the denture itself dentition off and the abutment ring fracture.
If these conditions occur, they should be repaired in time, should not be used reluctantly, so as not to damage the mucosa and other teeth, affecting the occlusal function, and even the risk of accidental swallowing of dentures.
9, stomatitis and denture stomatitis.
Because of the denture, especially the vertical distance of the full denture due to wear or other reasons to reduce, or because of poor denture hygiene, and other reasons to change the oral flora, resulting in mycobacterial infection, can occur in the corner of the mouth, mouth erosion or denture stomatitis, oral mucosal congestion, edema burning pain and other symptoms, these symptoms only with drug treatment is not good, should be timely repair denture, increase its height, maintain its hygiene.
10, denture color change and odor.
This is mostly due to the denture in the process of use in accordance with the normal teeth as cleaning and brushing, resulting in food pigment, or tobacco, tea pigment attachment, and even the formation of calculus attached to the base bracket, resulting in color change. Or the attached food residue fermentation decomposition produce odor. For these keys in the prevention, should adhere to the daily brush hills movable dentures may also be taken down to brush, take down after each meal to clean. If there is a pigment attached available denture plate cleaning agent.
11, facial muscles and temporomandibular joint discomfort.
Some people wear denture after feeling tight facial muscles and temporomandibular joint area, soreness, mouth opening difficulties. This is mainly due to the failure of the denture to accurately maintain the vertical distance of the patient’s face. If it is too high or too low, it destroys the coordination relationship between the cheek muscles and the TMJ. This results in increased muscle tension and displacement of the joint head. When these conditions occur, a hospital visit should be made. Take the modification of lowering or elevating the bite to restore the normal tension of the muscles and ligaments and the normal state of the joint structure.
12. The facial appearance is not coordinated after wearing teeth.
The facial shape can be collapsed due to low vertical distance or teeth alignment to the lingual-palatal side; or the lower 1/3 of the face becomes longer due to too high vertical distance, and the teeth are exposed to the lips, or the teeth are arranged to the lip and cheek side and appear to be protruding. These situations can be solved by modifying or rearranging the dentures.
