Making porcelain dental prostheses is a stage that is performed before restoring teeth that have previously undergone endodontic treatment and have lost a lot of tooth tissue due to tooth decay or trauma to make porcelain teeth.
So what is a prosthesis? In what cases is artificial pulp used? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Should I attach a prosthetic leg?
1. What is a denture base?
A denture stem (is a simulation of a tooth post, attached to the tooth before being coated with porcelain) to replace a real tooth base with the purpose of making the tooth stronger, increasing its lifespan and the ability to retain porcelain teeth.
Because the condition for porcelain crowns is that the tooth root must be solid, not broken, the tooth tissue needs to be healthy, to keep the tooth between the teeth good. In case the tooth post is chipped or broken and the contact surface with the porcelain crown is not enough, it is necessary to make a denture base
2. Types of dentures – in what cases are dentures used?
Currently, there are 2 types of dentures: metal and all-ceramic. Each type of prosthesis will have its own advantages and disadvantages.
-
Metal prosthesis:
In case the tooth is lost too much, the remaining tooth crown is not long enough to fix the porcelain tooth, the doctor will attach an additional prosthesis to pull it. tooth crown length
Metal prosthetics are composed of two layers: the frame is made from Cr – Cb, Cr – Ni or Titanium alloy and Ceramco III ceramic shell
The advantages are: Low cost, High ability to withstand chewing force, 1 to 2 times stronger than real teeth, color relatively similar to real teeth, longevity on average, about 5 to 10 years
Despite its high hardness, metal prosthetic stems are not as aesthetically pleasing as all-ceramic stems, often blackening after a period of use.
-
All-ceramic fake stems:
All-ceramic prosthesis is a type of imitation of a real tooth post that has been ground (made of pure porcelain) to cover the porcelain tooth.
This type of post has natural properties like a real tooth post, helping to restore teeth in cases where a customer has a large broken tooth.
All-ceramic prosthesis is the best choice. Optimal for customers who want to have cosmetic porcelain crowns, but the tooth structure is not yet guaranteed, has the ability to adapt to the oral cavity environment very well because it is made from 100% porcelain. Does not cause irritation, ensuring safety for customers to use. All-ceramic prosthesis has the ability to saveHolds porcelain crowns well and achieves very high aesthetics.
Prosthetic crowns are attached before porcelain crowns when:
-
The tooth has lost most of its tooth tissue, it is necessary to place a post and reconstruct the crown.
-
The tooth has lost most of the tooth tissue, a crown is indicated.
Some cases that cannot be used as a prosthetic root are:
-
The missing tooth is too large, the tooth tissue and root are too weak
-
Teeth with periodontitis, periodontitis, and alveolar bone inflammation around the tooth root. Tooth roots are loose and unstable.
-
Weak periodontal tissue

Affordable cost: the price of denture stems only ranges from 200 thousand to 1 million/piece depending on the type of metal stem or all-ceramic stem.
Restoration is quick and safe because the process is not too complicated. Just create a core, then install a porcelain crown to have a complete porcelain tooth.
Limits bone loss because you do not have to extract teeth, effectively prevents disease, does not affect oral health.
Does not invade or affect neighboring teeth
The disadvantage of attaching prosthetic limbs compared to other methods is low durability and not long life.
4. Is attaching a prosthetic stem painful?
Whether attaching an artificial stem to a tooth is painful depends on many issues. The technique of attaching a prosthetic stump will cause pain to the patient because it affects the jawbone and gums.
However, whether or not attaching a prosthetic stump is painful depends on the doctor’s skills and the customer’s specific tooth condition,… the level of pain will be different because it is also related to whether the tooth implant technique is standard, the level of invasion and separation of the gums or not,…
