Hybrid

When implant-supported hybrid prosthetics are compared to traditional fixed prosthetics, it has been seen that they provide better support for soft tissue. With the developing technology, hybrid prosthetic designs are made in a digital environment and prosthetic materials are developed, soft tissue loss can be eliminated more easily and the gaps between teeth can be filled aesthetically by using pink porcelain for the gums.

Hybrid dentures can be easily used in both complete tooth loss and partial tooth loss. Hybrid dentures can be made in the treatment of bone and soft tissue of patients with moderate and advanced bone resorption, in edentulous crests with excessive bone loss as a result of tumoral resection, in irregular alveolar bone resorption, and in cases where upper jaw lip support is desired. The first criterion to be taken into account in deciding on the construction of this type of prosthesis is the distance between the jaws; However, lip support, high smile line in the upper jaw, and lip line in the lower jaw during speaking are other aesthetic parameters to be considered.

First of all, patients need to continue brushing their teeth regularly. In addition, patients are advised to use an interdental brush and superfloss floss to clean under the dentures. Patients can also provide oral care using fast, effortless, and cheap ultrasonic and sonic denture cleaning devices. Using an air brush, also known as an oral irrigator, also provides convenience for patients.

It is not possible to say a clear period for any of these treatments. However, the patient's care for their oral health and regular check-ups will ensure that a properly made denture can be used for many years or even a lifetime without any problems.
