Dentistry: covering prosthesis

Today, dentists have a huge arsenal of funds for the reconstruction of teeth. Cover prostheses are removable elements that cover the roots of teeth that are present in the oral cavity, or already installed implants. That is why they are called covert. Such prostheses are now very popular, because they are securely attached both at rest and during chewing. The use of this type of prosthesis is indicated in the following cases:

• With partial or complete absence of teeth;
• At a fracture of the crown;
• When it is necessary to remove the crown portion of the tooth;
• When erasing hard fabrics.

With a complete absence of teeth, an implant is installed on the implants. Many dentists are sure that this is necessary. Implants are more durable than their own teeth. The fixed prosthesis on their teeth redistributes the load on them, thereby significantly reducing their life.
