The presence of orthopedic structures on the teeth implies the same scrupulous hygiene as with respect to the real ones. However, self-cleaning is in many ways inferior to hardware cleaning with ultrasound or the Air Flow system.
Professional removal of hard and soft dental plaque must be done twice a year in order to prevent disruption of the adhesion of the structures to the gum or destruction of the tooth under the crown.
Benefits:
✔ increases the service life of the orthopedic structure;
✔ prevents tooth decay under the structure;
✔ prevention of periodontitis;
✔ prevention of caries.
Disadvantages:
– a washout of the cement fixing the crown is likely;
– it is impossible to use ultrasound for ceramic structures (to prevent their destruction);
– the duration of the procedure is longer than in patients without crowns;
– bleeding gums are likely.
Types of cleansing performed by:
- Plaque indicator;
- Air Flow Teeth Cleaning;
- Polishing old fillings (to restore the gloss and smoothness of the surface); *
- Cleaning teeth with ultrasound (scaling); *
- Medical bandage *
* if necessary
Forbidden:
– cleaning of subgingival, supragingival overlays in the area of the tooth covered with a crown using ultrasound
– use of highly abrasive powders
– if necessary.
