Metal ceramic on the front teeth - a reliable way to protect

Front teeth require special attention, because they are in the visible zone, they show the slightest defects. It is believed that cermets on the front teeth - one of the most reliable and effective options for reconstruction of the dentition. This is the most commonly used method of denture replacement. Its spread is due to not too high price, strength and excellent aesthetic qualities.

Crown made of cermets is a fairly simple structure, which consists of a frame made of metal and several ceramic layers. The frame can be made of different materials. Usually, platinum, gold, chromium, cobalt and nickel are used for its production. Its thickness is up to 0.5 cm. Cobalt-chrome alloy is the most common of the currently used, followed by a nickel-chrome alloy. They are well combined with the tissues of the gums and are relatively inexpensive.

Platinum or gold frames serve much longer, have better aesthetic qualities, but a much higher price. On the made skeleton a layer after a layer is put or rendered ceramics, and after drawing of each layer it is fired in a special furnace at temperature in 950 degrees. As a result, a particularly strong bond exists between the ceramics and the metal. This ensures the integrity of the structure for a long time.

Metal ceramics on the front teeth has a number of undeniable advantages:

- magnificent appearance;

- Strength and reliability of the structure;

- long service life; Such crowns, made on the basis of inexpensive metals, can last more than 10 years, and with a gold or platinum skeleton - more than 15 years;

- a fully justified acceptable price.

However, not everything is as rosy as we would like. Metal ceramics on the front teeth also has disadvantages:

- To establish such a crown, the tooth is very strongly sharpened;

- the incisor or canine is depopulated before the crown is inserted (the nerve is killed) - the tooth remains more fragile under the crown.

Metal ceramics on the front teeth is established after careful preliminary preparation. Initially, an X-ray examination is performed. This is necessary in order to completely eliminate inflammation in the apex of the tooth. If an inflammation is found, the tooth must be cured and then prosthetized. If there are old fillings in the teeth, you need to find out how well they are installed. If defects are found, the channels are cleaned and refilled with filling material.

The tooth is carefully discarded. This is a prerequisite for anterior teeth that share a common root. If necessary, caries is healed. In some cases, the question of installing a cult insert for a crown may be considered. If the tooth is half destroyed, a pin is inserted into its channel, and then the coronal part is strengthened with filling materials.

The crown on the tooth of the cermet is installed after a thorough grinding of the tooth. This is a long process, which must be performed with filigree precision to ensure the high quality of the prosthesis.

If you want to have beautiful front teeth, cermets, prices on which on average in Russia are about eight thousand rubles, the most suitable option. Do not spare money for a quality "reconstruction" of your smile. You will get the expected result and will enjoy it for many years.
