Dental Implant Resin or Porcelain Protocol? Which is Better? Instagram: / drfernandogio In this video, you will quickly and directly understand the difference between porcelain dental implants or acrylic resin teeth (acrylic teeth) for total cases. And this is very important to emphasize. We are talking about implant-based prostheses for cases of replacement of all teeth, the so-called protocol-type prostheses - dental protocol implant - Branemark protocol implant. Once the dental implants are installed, understand that dental implants are the titanium pins that are placed below the gum, we then begin to make the implant-based prosthesis, which is the part that has the teeth and artificial gum and that is visible when smiling. This implant-based prosthesis has a metal structure to provide rigidity and prevent breakage, as if it were the skeleton of the prosthesis, and the teeth that are attached to this infrastructure. These teeth can be made of acrylic resin or ceramic, such as porcelain. To make it easier to understand, let's consider that the porcelain tooth is like glass. However, is a porcelain protocol prosthesis aesthetically superior to a resin protocol prosthesis? Dental protocols with porcelain teeth do not always look better than dental protocols with resin teeth. Dental implants for total cases (full-mouth implants) are made with an immediate loading protocol, that is, we install the implants and install the complete set of teeth in the same week (protocol prosthesis). This can only be done with resin teeth - protocol-type prosthesis with acrylic resin teeth. But what is the main disadvantage of resin teeth? The disadvantage is that these protocol prosthesis teeth need to be replaced over time. How long? It depends on each patient, but as a general rule, we can consider something between 5 and 10 years. Aesthetically speaking, both protocols with resin teeth and dental protocols with porcelain teeth promote excellent aesthetic results in the hands of qualified professionals, and it is much more a question of how it is done than what it is done with. In short: our recommendation is: all cases of immediate loading should be performed with a protocol prosthesis with resin teeth. Resin teeth are aesthetic, quick to manufacture, easy to adjust and better absorb potential excess load or potential unexpected occlusal misalignments. After at least 6 months to 1 year, your occlusion is stable, you are well adapted aesthetically and functionally, if you are interested in having a porcelain protocol prosthesis, you are a good candidate. Then we make the porcelain protocol prosthesis on the upper part and the resin protocol prosthesis on the lower part. However, the vast majority of patients remain with the resin protocol prosthesis and return to have their teeth replaced between 5 and 7 years. To learn more about resin or porcelain dental protocol, consult a trusted professional with surgical and aesthetic experience. ------------------------------ Dr. Fernando Giovanella Specialist in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Master in Dental Implants - CRO/SC 8237 All on four technique / zygomatic implants / immediate loading / dental protocol / allon4 protocol / zygomatic implant protocol ------------------------------ DR.
