Restoring a front tooth damaged by super glue with a CEREC inlay

According to statistics, in the first year of use, about 13–15% of prosthetic structures made of acrylic and 8–10% of modern thermoplastic materials break. Unfortunately, breakdowns always happen, as circumstances vary. Damage can be caused by injury, excessive load, or improper care of the structure. Many patients who are faced with this situation are interested in whether it is possible to glue a denture and how to do it.

The use of modern high-quality and high-tech materials does not make the service life of crowns unlimited. A dental crown has a specific lifespan of 12 years. Sometimes it happens that the crown falls out. Immediately after this trouble, increased sensitivity of the stump may appear. Contact your doctor without delay. If this is not possible, follow your doctor’s recommendations to save the tooth and reduce discomfort as much as possible.

Prevention of denture breakage

No matter how high-quality the materials from which the orthopedic structure is made are, its service life depends not only on this. The following recommendations will help you avoid breakdowns:

• put on and take off dentures correctly;
• in the first days of use, exclude hard foods, try not to bite with your front teeth, get used to the design gradually;
• clean the denture twice a day, rinse thoroughly with water;
• use special tablets for disinfection;
• See your dentist every six months;
• Do not adjust the prosthesis at home.

High-quality manufacturing, careful operation and good care will help avoid damage and extend the life of the denture.

Why is this happening

The following reasons for loss are possible:

• The service life of the cement has expired, the composition has lost its fastening properties - the crown has decemented;
• The patient put too much stress on the crown by including hard foods in the menu;
• During installation, temporary cement was used, which had to be replaced at the appointed time;
• A destructive process was underway under the crown - caries developed, as a result, the tightness of the connection was broken;
• The person often consumed chewing candies and toffees - the viscous consistency of the products contributed to the tearing of the crown from the tooth;
• The crown was placed on a tooth that was too small, and the insufficient tooth height reduced the bond;
• The size of the crown exceeded the size of the stump;
• The tooth stump turned out to be pointed, so the crown was weakly fixed;
• The material used to make the prosthesis was not strong enough.

Cream "Korega"

Products from an Irish manufacturer. Provides convenience and comfort throughout the entire period of use, effectively prevents displacement of the prosthesis and allows you to lead a full life without embarrassment and awkwardness.

The composition has many advantages:

• convenient packaging with dispenser;
• dense consistency, most convenient for application and uniform distribution;
• ensures a tight fit and prevents food from getting under the dentures, thereby counteracting infections and bad breath;
• innovative formula without zinc;
• several release options to choose from, including in the form of a cream with a refreshing effect;
• neutral taste, does not change the taste properties of food;
• guarantee of stable fixation for 12 hours;
• when hardened, it takes on a gum shade that is as close as possible to the natural shade.

Before using the cream, the denture should be thoroughly cleaned; the manufacturer produces cleaning tablets specifically for this purpose.

What to do if it is not possible to see a doctor immediately

• Apply clove oil to the tooth and the pain will decrease.
• Wash the crown and install it on the tooth using cement, which is sold in the pharmacy chain. It is not advisable to do this, but if you contact your dentist and get the go-ahead, you can fix the product temporarily, according to the recommendations of a specialist. You should first rinse your mouth with an antiseptic.
• If necessary, you can take painkillers.
• If the crown falls off and cannot be found, you can simply lubricate the tooth with pharmaceutical cement - this technique will somewhat reduce the discomfort.

Independent restoration of the prosthetic structure

You can try to solve the problem on your own only when it is not possible to see a dentist in the near future. For example, if a crown falls out, you can temporarily fix it in the base using special adhesive for dentures. Action plan:

• First, thoroughly clean the separated parts of the structure and dry thoroughly.
• Then apply adhesive to the crown and place it in place.
• After this, put on the denture, clench your jaws and wait a minute until the glue sets.
• Refrain from eating or drinking for the next 45 minutes.

It will not be possible to restore the structure in this way for a long time, but time can be gained. Later, it is still worth visiting a dental clinic and taking the product for professional repair.

Some patients try to fix the crowns in the prosthesis base with superglue. But this method is hazardous to health due to the toxic composition of the adhesive. After using it, you can get poisoned or have a severe allergic reaction. In addition, superglue will also solve the problem for a short time, since it is not intended for these purposes. After its use, the prosthesis may break completely, and it will most likely not be possible to restore it.

Possible options

If the old crown can be used, it will be reinstalled using fresh temporary dental cement. The patient will have the opportunity to wear the crown again for some time; if discomfort does not arise, the fixation will be performed with permanent cement. If wearing it is impossible, the dentist will offer to make a new crown and give reasons for his recommendations.

Minor damage to the crown (chips) can be repaired. Significant damage cannot be repaired. A new product will need to be manufactured.

The patient was extremely satisfied!

Moreover, pay attention, next to it there is a tooth with a metal-ceramic crown and this crown has dark gums. Naturally, we cannot copy dark gums; this is not necessary. The patient, having seen such a wonderful result, wanted to redo her already old, metal-ceramic crowns on the left and right. That is, the patient was so impressed that we made her new tooth look natural. But that is another story. ))

Glue selection

Depending on the individual characteristics of the patient, the doctor may prescribe a specific adhesive for dental crowns. But you can choose the remedy yourself, testing different options. This is how their quality is checked and sensations are observed. As a result, a suitable option will remain.

There are 3 types of dental crown adhesives produced by pharmaceutical companies:

1. Viscous.
2. Medium viscosity.
3. Liquid.

The latter option costs more, but is more often chosen by people who have recently had crowns installed. The reason for this is ease of use. But gradually many people acquire viscous compositions, since liquid ones take a long time to dry.

Patients do not immediately get used to wearing a prosthesis, so in the first time after installation, changes in the perception of taste may be noticeable. In order not to aggravate the situation, experts advise not to use products with fragrances until you become accustomed to the foreign body.

Some manufacturers confidently believe that their products provide fixation for half a day, and sometimes more. But there are factors due to which the duration of fixation is noticeably reduced. This arises from laughter, food composition, food consumption. According to statistics, almost every crown adhesive lasts no more than 9 hours. this indicator varies depending on the quality of the product.

The president

After application to the prosthesis, it forms a dense film, which ensures protection against the ingress of food debris. When drinking hot drinks and food, the fixation weakens. “President” contains zinc and is therefore not recommended for use by people who take dietary supplements with zinc oxide.

Advantages:

• 50 ml in a tube (other products are packaged in 40 ml);
• Excellent fixation (thanks to the composition, the prosthesis will last up to 40 hours);
• it can be used to glue the crown to the tooth;
• low price.

Flaws:

• sensitive to temperature changes (fastening quality decreases);
• has a pronounced aroma and taste.

The product manufacturer is Italian.

How much does a re-restoration cost?

How much does it cost to put a dental bridge in place if it falls out? If the supports do not need to be treated or removed, then fixation with new cement will cost approximately 1000-1500 rubles. If the screws on dentures on implants have come loose, then fixing them with new screws will cost about the same. If the patient needs to treat/remove supports, install new pins or inlays - and, as a result, make a new prosthesis, then the cost of restoration starts at 30 thousand rubles. And the final cost is calculated individually.

Treatment of a tooth under a crown without removing it

In dental practice, there are cases when it is possible to cure a tooth without removing the crown. Usually we are talking about secondary caries and simple endodontic manipulations, carried out through a hole, which is then filled with a composite material. In some cases of surgery, such as cyst removal, the surgical site is accessed through an incision in the gum. In this case, the product usually still has to be removed for additional manipulations.

Does it hurt to remove a crown?

No, especially if the procedure is performed under anesthesia. Removing a crown from a tooth is painful if there is a living tooth underneath it that is undergoing an inflammatory process, but in the vast majority of cases, crowns are placed on pulpless teeth. In such a situation, the procedure may cause some discomfort, but you most likely will not experience severe pain. If your teeth hurt after removing crowns, there are two options. Either mechanical damage has been caused to the gum, or pulpitis, periodontitis or granuloma develops in the tooth. In this case, complex endodontic treatment is required.

Relationship between loss and service life

Dental bridges can fall out due to natural wear and tear or the end of their life. On average it is 5 years. And with good oral hygiene and careful treatment, the bridge will last up to 10 years. If the bridge is supported by implants, the service life increases. For ceramic and metal-ceramic it is at least 10 years, and for zirconium dioxide and ceramic-composite – from 20 years.

“My mother built golden bridges for herself back in the 90s. So, they stayed with her for almost 20 years. Either the doctor was such a good one, or she was taking care of her teeth. But she definitely never ate nuts. And I installed metal-ceramic ones in 2014. And they fell out after only 6 years. The doctor was able to glue them in place, but I understand that it is no longer so convenient. We'll probably have to change it."

Anastasia G., review from gidpozubam.ru

Protefix

The manufacturer guarantees reliable fastening of the removable denture for 12 hours. The product has medium viscosity.

The following varieties of Protefix are produced:

1. With mint. It is recommended for use during the period of getting used to the prosthesis; the main component of the product is mint essential oil, thanks to which the gag reflex is reduced. When using the product, gum trophism improves and inflamed tissues calm down. The product is hypoallergenic, does not contain fragrances or dyes, which is important for people with sensitive gums and a tendency to allergic reactions.
2. Extra strong. Contains fixing components in the maximum dose, so the installation of the prosthesis occurs in the shortest possible time. After the structure is placed in the oral cavity, you need to wait only 5 minutes, not 15, after which you are allowed to drink and eat.
3. With aloe vera. This glue should be used by people with irritation, chafing, redness and swelling of the oral mucosa, as the product has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties. The use of the composition ensures the prevention of dental tissue, improves metabolism, and normalizes the process of soft tissue restoration.

The glue manufacturer is German, which is known throughout the CIS thanks to the products of the Doppel Hertz series.
The quality of the glue complies with the standards and regulations that apply in the EU and Germany. Advantages :

• is used sparingly;
• holds well;
• does not affect taste sensations;
• can be used for severe salivation;
• Can be applied to dry or wet prosthesis;
• side effects are almost completely absent;
• has no taste or pungent odor.

Flaws:

• small packaging volume;
• not very convenient dispenser;
• The tube must always be positioned vertically, otherwise the composition will leak out of it.

Advice! "Protefix" should not be used by people allergic to aspirin, as well as by those who have damage to the oral mucosa.

Recommendations

If you follow safety measures, you will be able to prevent the occurrence of side effects:

1. The glue can be used after your doctor's permission.
2. It is important to follow the instructions.
3. The product should be stored out of the reach of children.
4. Water should not get inside the package.
5. The glue is stored with the cap closed and at room temperature.

Thanks to simple rules, it will be possible to protect the body from adverse consequences. If stored incorrectly, its service life will noticeably decrease, so you will need to buy a new product.
