Fixed Prosthesis: It is the general term used to describe crown and bridge prosthesis. It is the most preferred type of prosthesis as a function in tooth deficiencies. However, sometimes it is not possible to do it depending on the area where the tooth is missing.

Crown: It is a type of prosthesis made on a single tooth. It is applied by the dentist by reducing the natural tooth and cannot be removed by the patient.
Bridge: It is a type of prosthesis made to replace the missing tooth or teeth by taking support from the natural teeth on both sides of a missing tooth.
Reducing some teeth in the mouth to support while fixed prosthesis is made is a procedure that patients generally worry about. However:
• With the fixed prosthesis to be made, your chewing will be easier and more comfortable. In case of missing teeth, you should use the teeth on the other side, if any.
It will cause problems in the teeth and gums on the side you use.
• The teeth around the edentulous area will move towards this space. Due to the displacement of these teeth, the closure of your lower and upper jaw will change, causing complaints that range from pain to more serious problems in your jaw joint, facial muscles that allow chewing and speaking. pain in some cases; It can extend to the face, head, neck and back areas.
• There will be positive changes in your speech and appearance with the prosthesis to be made. Because tooth positions have an important role in speaking and supporting the lips and cheeks.

Fixed Prosthesis Maintenance:
Your teeth, which are reduced for crown and bridge construction, are covered with the crowns we have prepared as “temporary”. Temporary crowns are made in order to prevent the teeth from being affected by the cold, to prevent their displacement after the teeth are reduced and measured, and to provide some lost aesthetics. Although they are not very sturdy, you can use these temporary crowns with care.
In terms of the health of your gums, you should clean around the temporary crowns very well.
In any case where one or more of your teeth is missing, if you have a crown and bridge prosthesis, your use and care will extend the life of this prosthesis and your teeth under the prosthesis.
Oral care: No matter what material the prosthesis is made of, it is a foreign substance in your mouth. You should pay attention to oral care in order to protect the health of your teeth near the crown and bridge and the surrounding gums. As a result of poor oral care, problems in the gums and cavities on the side teeth can occur. Oral care; normal toothbrushing at least three times a day, good cleaning between the teeth and under the missing teeth in the bridge (the underside of the bridge body facing the tissue) with the interface brushes.
should be done. In addition, you should use dental floss in the interdental areas and under the bridge body. You can even brush your porcelain crown and bridge without using toothpaste. It is important that brushing is done slowly from the gums to the teeth. In addition, pressurized water, toothpicks, plaque staining solutions, rubber stimulators, etc. You can clean food residues using Some thin, some thick threads clean the interfaces of crown-bridge prostheses more easily. Chewing gum after meals can have a harmful effect as it will push the existing food residues between the gums. It may also cause displacement or dislocation of the fixed prosthesis.
