The material of denture has a crucial effect on the life of denture. Dentures of different materials have different durability, mechanical properties and biocompatibility, which directly determine the service life of dentures and the comfort of patients. Here is a detailed analysis of how denture materials affect denture life:
1. Durability
Metal: Metal dentures usually have high strength and wear resistance, so they are durable and have a long service life. For example, the use of metal materials made of removable dentures, because it is more convenient to remove, cleaning and maintenance is also more convenient, can be used to about 25 years.
Resin material: Plastic denture materials such as PMMA, although the price is relatively low and easy to process, but the durability is poor, prone to aging, wear and fracture problems, thereby shortening the service life of the denture.
Porcelain material: Porcelain denture materials such as full porcelain teeth have high hardness and beauty, but the strength is low and easy to break porcelain, so the durability is poor compared with metal materials. However, the durability of porcelain dentures can be significantly improved by optimizing the preparation process and adding reinforcing agents.
Baked porcelain materials: Baked porcelain teeth and other baked porcelain materials combine the advantages of metal and porcelain materials, with high strength and beauty, so durability is better. However, the life of the porcelain tooth is affected by the adhesive, and it needs to be replaced after about 10 years of use.
2. Mechanical properties
Strength and toughness: The strength and toughness of the denture material have a direct impact on the life of the denture. The high strength and toughness of the material can resist various stresses during chewing, reducing the risk of deformation and fracture of the denture, thereby extending the service life.
Wear resistance: The wear resistance of the denture material determines whether the denture can maintain good shape and function during long-term use. Materials with poor wear resistance are prone to wear and morphological changes, which affect the service life of dentures.
3. Biocompatibility
Impact on oral tissue: The biocompatibility of denture materials has an important impact on the health of oral tissue. Better biocompatible materials can reduce irritation and inflammatory response to oral tissue, thereby reducing the risk of loosening, shedding and oral disease, and extending the service life of dentures.
Allergic reactions: Some patients may have an allergic reaction to certain denture materials, resulting in symptoms such as swelling of oral tissue, pain, etc. In this case, the life of the denture will be significantly shortened, and it is even necessary to replace the denture with other materials.
4. Maintenance and maintenance
Cleaning difficulty: The cleaning difficulty of the denture material will also affect the life of the denture. Easy to clean materials reduce the risk of bacterial growth and oral disease, thereby extending the service life of dentures.
Maintenance costs: dentures of different materials also vary in maintenance costs. Some high-grade materials may require more professional maintenance and maintenance measures, thus increasing maintenance costs. However, reasonable maintenance and maintenance measures can extend the service life of dentures and reduce the cost of long-term replacement dentures.
5. Patient factors
Oral health status: The patient's oral health status has an important impact on the life of the denture. Good oral health can extend the life of dentures by reducing the risk of oral diseases and loosening and shedding of dentures.
Usage habits: The patient's usage habits also affect the life of the denture. For example, frequent biting of hard objects or improper use can lead to damage or deformation of dentures, which can shorten their service life.
Sum up
In summary, the denture material has a crucial impact on the life of the denture. In the selection of denture materials, the durability, mechanical properties, biocompatibility and the patient's oral health and use habits should be considered comprehensively to develop the best repair plan and extend the service life of the denture. At the same time, reasonable maintenance and maintenance measures are also an important means to extend the life of dentures.
