In our lives, many people have had the experience of tooth stumps due to tooth decay, trauma and other reasons. Such a condition not only affects the aesthetics, but also affects the chewing function and even the pronunciation. A lot of people are annoyed by this and don't know how to solve it. The emergence of dental implants has undoubtedly brought hope to these people.
Below, I would like to share with you a real case of dental implants.
Mr. Li is a middle-aged patient who has suffered severe tooth wear and tear and even stumps due to his poor oral habits when he was young. This caused great inconvenience to his life, affecting not only his chewing function, but also his aesthetics. On the advice of his doctor, Mr. Lee decided to undergo dental implant surgery.
During the procedure, the implant was implanted into Mr. Li's alveolar bone, and the artificial crown was installed after the implant was firmly integrated with the alveolar bone. After a few months of recovery period, Mr. Li's dental implants have fully grown, his chewing function has been restored, and his oral aesthetics have improved.
Mr. Li was very satisfied with the results of the dental implant and said with emotion, "Great! With dental implants, my tooth stump has finally been saved! I can now enjoy my food to my heart's content and never have to worry about my teeth anymore. ”
So how is the stump and crown formed?
Formation of stump and stump The formation of stump and stump is mainly caused by two factors. First of all, poor oral hygiene habits. If teeth are not cleaned and checked regularly, teeth are prone to caries and periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth stumps and crowns. Secondly, external forces act. Accidents, chewing hard objects, etc., can lead to cracked or broken teeth, forming stumps and crowns.
What are the hazards of stump and crown stump?
The harm of stump and crown is mainly reflected in two aspects. On the one hand, stump roots and crowns are prone to bacterial growth and cause oral diseases, such as periodontal disease and pulpitis. These diseases not only affect oral health, but can also pose a threat to organs throughout the body, such as the heart. On the other hand, the stump affects chewing and pronunciation, reducing quality of life. In addition, the stump may affect the patient's appearance and cause psychological stress.
What is the treatment of stump and crown stump?
