materials. Why are teeth covered? Deep caries, fractures, loss of
substance, color problems may occur in the teeth. In order for such teeth
to look aesthetic again and regain their strength, it may be necessary to cover
with tooth hardness or harder materials.
Tooth coating types are named according to the materials used. Depending on the
development of technology and materials knowledge from past to present,
different materials have been used in terms of both durability and aesthetics. The
earliest materials were gold-containing alloys. They were very old and
have a very long history. But its aesthetic feature was very limited. Especially
ceramics are used in new materials. Ceramics are very advantageous
materials, especially in terms of replicating the tooth color. Ceramics
are also classified within themselves. Metal was used as the hardening
material under the ceramics. Since the durability-enhancing ceramics with
metal applied in the past were aesthetically limited, today we no longer use
metal-ceramic coatings. We mostly use zirconium-based or full ceramic
coatings. Zirconium and full ceramic material coatings are currently the
most technological materials in terms of aesthetics and durability.
How Is Teeth Veneer Done?
First of all, suspicious formations such as decayed old restorative materials or old
fillings in the tooth should be completely cleaned and the teeth are reduced to
the thickness of the material to be used from the teeth.
Who Is Dental Crown Applied or Not?
Dental coating application; It is mostly not recommended in developmental
children and individuals under 18 years of age. However, in some cases it
may be necessary to apply.
What are the Advantages of Dental Coating?
The advantage of tooth coating is that broken, problematic, decayed, weakened and
discolored teeth are restored to their original state or made more aesthetic in
terms of aesthetics and function.
What Problems Does Coating Solve?
It is used for broken teeth and color problems. When considered as a bridge, it is used
to complete tooth deficiencies.
What is the Permanence of Tooth Crown
Application?
Scientifically, it is 7 to 10 years. Because tooth coatings are applied to the teeth with
adhesives. These adhesives may melt over time depending on the temperature
balance in the saliva and mouth. Bacteria leakage may occur in the areas
where the adhesive is melted and may cause long-term decays and gum infections
in the coatings.
How Long Does Dental Veneer Application
Take?
The time may vary depending on the type of material used and the system applied. There
is an application period of up to 10 days from a single session in 1 day. Single
tooth coating can also be applied in an hour. If a person wants to have
all teeth covered in their mouth, this period may be longer. In addition,
this period may be prolonged in many crown or bridge prostheses.
All these coatings; They are classified as “full coatings” applied by
completely reducing the tooth. It is made by completely reducing the
front, back and side parts of the tooth. There are also partial coatings. There
are applications where only a part of the tooth is abraded and covered. These
are mostly leaf porcelains. It has become very popular, especially in the
anterior teeth. It is applied by adhering a thin layer of porcelain to the
visible part of the tooth. No application is made to the inner part of the
tooth and the parts where the tongue touches. Also called “partial
coating” or “segmented coatings”. In these applications,
the tooth is not completely covered and there is very little loss of material
in the tooth.
