They are supported dentures dental partial dentures are used in very small, ie when the patient has left few teeth in the mouth.The status of these teeth determines, in most cases, success or failure of this treatment, so periodic checks should be made for cleaning thereof and to detect the existence of possible decay.

The patient’s mucous membranes will be cleaned daily with a soft brush and hygiene in overdenture will be held in the same manner as for removable full dentures.

Natural teeth are brushed with a normal toothbrush, interdental brush (to clean the space between teeth) and / or dental floss, depending on the construction of the abutment teeth and possibilities of the patient.

When mechanical cleaning is inadequate is also used chlorhexidine rinse or fluoride gel and gel on the pillars and brushing.

Plaque is one of the most common problems that attack the teeth. Rather than being an aesthetic problem can become a serious health problem that damages the teeth, because if not removed can cause inflammation of the gums, bleeding of the same, bad breath and even tooth loss.The scale is also called calculus or tartar, and no more than a layer formed by the mixture of food debris, minerals, cellular debris and millions of bacteria that are gradually adhering to the teeth due to lack of hygiene appropriate.

Plaque tends to accumulate in the inner faces of the teeth (or lingual) anterior. It is recognized as being of a hard, irregular, brown, and feeling bitter mouth, as well as halitosis or bad breath.

Dental plaque is not removed from the outer surfaces of the teeth hardens and becomes tartar. When he acceded to the teeth, is avoided only through a painless procedure performed by a specialist, known as tartectomía.

To prevent tartar to use good brushing technique, using a mouthwash 2 times a day and floss or dental floss.

Toothbrushes should be small and soft, rounded bristles, allowing access to all corners of the teeth. Should be changed every 2 or 3 months, using a floured toothpaste, dental floss, eating sugary products, and visit the dentist every 2 or 3 months.

Dental plaque and pigmentation produced by microbial plaque, can change dramatically the appearance of the teeth and cause health problems.

To prevent accumulation of bacteria in the mouth, which have also been associated with systemic diseases and digestive problems, is essential to maintain proper hygienic care of the teeth.

As in all our body, the health of our teeth and gums depend on our diet. Besides calcium and vitamin D, other minerals and vitamins play an essential role for teeth and gums.

Do the teeth in orthodontic treatment need special care?

How much does orthodontic treatment?

If the pulp of the tooth is infected (pulpitis), you may need to have root treatment. A dentist (or a specialist called an endodontist) takes out the gradient pulp, fills the space with a paste, and covers the tooth with a crown to protect and seal.

Treatment

It is determined that the stains are in the tissue called enamel, then isolate the teeth to prevent the chemicals used in contact with the gums or other soft tissues of the mouth. Chemicals are rubbed against dental stains up to 60 seconds at a time, to reduce these stains. This action is repeated as many times as necessary, then washed and observed the progress of technology. The whole treatment can last up to 60 minutes for the whole mouth.

With this technique can be eliminated:

All spots are in the surface layer called enamel. Pigment spots from food and sweets. Spots by fluorosis (excessive intake of fluorine), certain spots of development, etc.
Dental Stains

After treatment:

The teeth were observed to be slightly opaque hydrated by contact with saliva, then become normal in color and appearance, but without the spots that once damaged his appearance. After treatment, the teeth should be polished well, making them less susceptible to decay.

The microabrasion is a proven treatment in both its effectiveness and safety. In experienced hands is an excellent technique for removing stains that dull the appearance of teeth in children and adolescents.

The dental laser is a highly focused light beam literally vaporizes the infected tissue. Travels through optical fiber. The dentist uses a hand piece similar to the conventional (but not strawberry), which leads to decay.The laser action is selective and timely. Has the ability to distinguish between the infected tissue and normal tissue, making it a mechanism to preserve most of the tooth, while generating high disinfecting effect in the area where applied.

This revolutionary technology allows the elimination round for the treatment of cavities, avoiding the annoying noise, vibration, pain, anesthesia, puncture and allowing much more durable esthetic restorations.

Use in Dentistry
The laser has many applications in the field of Dentistry: used in soft tissue surgery in pain relief, therapeutic, anti-inflammatory, regenerative and healing.

Currently it is used in tooth whitening, cavity prevention, dental hypersensitivity, incipient caries and deep abscesses, crown fractures of enamel and dentin, root canals or channels, among others.
