Dentistry is a broad science. It includes various directions and techniques. Today, advanced orthopedic dentistry includes procedures that are aimed at the complete restoration of damaged dentition; procedures are carried out using the latest, effective technologies. Based on the department of dentistry in which the dentist works, he is awarded a specialization. This is an orthopedic dentist, orthodontist, and surgeon. These vacancies are in great demand today. In turn, an orthopedic dentist is a doctor who knows how to qualitatively reconstruct the dentition in a short period of time.
What is orthopedic dentistry?
Orthopedics highlights
Orthopedic dentistry is aimed at research, diagnosis, prevention, and defective treatment of the speech and masticatory apparatus. The specialization of orthopedic dentistry is dentures (part of the tooth is restored internally and externally).
Unnatural teeth, which are inserted into a patient by an orthopedic dentist, are very difficult to distinguish from ordinary ones, according to their external and functional characteristics. Teeth are restored for both elderly and young patients.
Zirconium is used to create the crown. For a higher quality ceramic prosthesis, the metal base is made of an alloy. They use gold or platinum, palladium.
Job vacancies are popular and in demand today pediatric dentist orthopedist A dentist restores a child's lost baby tooth with help children's prosthetics, which fell earlier than expected, and the expected date for the appearance of a new one permanent tooth is more than 1 year. This procedure is necessary to prevent:
- development malocclusion during the absence of a tooth;
- provide the child with the opportunity to fully bite and chew food, since in the absence of a tooth, disturbances in the functioning of the digestive system may occur.
Work on children's prosthetics may be limited to one visit to an orthopedic dentist.
Problems and diseases dealt with by an orthopedic dentist
An orthopedic dentist specializes in removable, non-removable, conditionally removable methods of tooth restoration. The orthopedist also takes impressions for the patient’s future crowns and stump inlays.
Reasons for dentures:
- significant destruction;
- protect the tooth from complete decay;
- modification of minor damage.
The factor of deep tooth decay can

switch as in advanced stage caries and physical damage. Doesn't look good in this situation appearance smiles and the functional side. A person cannot chew food thoroughly and correctly, which leads to problems with the stomach and intestines.
Therefore, the work of an orthopedic dentist is aimed at the immediate restoration of the latter chewing teeth. Because each tooth has its own function and if it is lost, the functioning of the entire folding organism can be disrupted. Very often, patients seek the help of an orthopedic dentist after they have lost their front teeth.
To protect them from destruction completely, not all types of prostheses can be used, since there are also types of prostheses that restore only a certain part of the tooth. If we take the installation of a fixation on the stump (the finished part of a natural incisor), then dentures are performed not only if the tooth is destroyed, but also to prevent destruction.
When a tooth may be subject to decay, it is very fragile and may break at some point, then it is necessary to prevent possible breakage earlier. This is necessary so that its function and the person’s appearance are not impaired, and the breakdown does not cause pain.
It happens that the teeth fully perform their function, although the patient is not satisfied with their appearance. And in these situations, an orthopedic dentist performs dentures. Thanks to thin ceramic plates, it is possible to hide minor flaws. These include:
- chipping;
- scratch;
- significant gaps between teeth;
- curvature.
The job of a dentist is to prepare and install dentures; he also prepares a person’s teeth for the upcoming operation.
Dental prosthetics and its results
