Lumeners

Lumeners

Much talk of modern dental ceramic faces, known as Lumeners, and contact lenses that meet the wishes of many seeking solutions to the problems of their teeth and the urgent need for a beautiful smile full of pearls and snow white.

Contact lenses that differ greatly from traditional porcelain veneers and porcelain faces named (Veneers).

These two differ in several aspects, we will review and compare.

The advantages and disadvantages

The tooth contact lenses is a very thin layer of porcelain and other plastic materials with thickness from 0.2 to 0.4 mm, a thickness adhesive eyes lenses. A layer covering the teeth without having to refund or preparation of the tooth surfaces, and does not require installation to any local anesthetic.

It is also used to cover the crowns and fillings that change color over time without the need to change them if they are not accompanied by any tooth decay or corrode, as well as a beauty treatment that can only be removed if you want to return to the original shape of the teeth.

Manufacture of contact lenses in laboratories and dental companies worldwide in countries such as China and Belgium, the large advertising campaigns to promote them at the expense of traditional ceramic faces, you need to sculpt and prepare the tooth to be covered and sometimes local anaesthetics, are more thickness of contact lenses.

All these advantages have impress people, who made them look for this new technology, believing it's the alternative to cosmetic dentistry, it's already like contact lenses, ophthalmic lenses, removed when they wanted.

The truth is, there are many disadvantages had not adequately explained by manufacturers to the general public. There are many drawbacks to this technique, of which it has not been tested yet and there is no sound scientific studies confirmed what the producers claim they fixed the color and not the histogram, and resistant to breakage, they are made from a combination of porcelain and plastic material similar to alkmbozight material used in dental fillings, and the existence of such article plastic makes it prone to discoloration and change color, lack of dental sculpture leads to an increase in the thickness of teeth covered.

Fatal drawback of this technology is also expensive, manufactured in special plants, and all it does is dentist diagnose the condition and edition of the teeth and sent to the appropriate laboratory, which manufactured and then sent to the doctor to the patient's composition.

Of course, this additional time will need four to six weeks, financial lab costs alone exceed 2,000 euros per jaw, not to mention the costs of attending physician, also between 2,000 to 3,000 euros.

Finally, the maintenance of contact lenses is also difficult, as any break or malfunction of any of the lenses not be repaired locally and sent to the lab to change.

Methods of preparation

The doctor in charge of cleaning the teeth, and then take a dental Edition choose the right color, and then sent to the lab that will manufacture the necessary lenses according to the required specifications.

And then be sent to a specialist, who is cleaning the tooth surfaces to be covered with phosphoric acid and then glued the lenses on the teeth.

Treatment of contact lenses are appropriate cases for contact lenses? The theory of this technique make it suitable for many situations, such as teeth with dark colors or infected tooth abnormalities in enamel layer or ivory, or simple blanks.

But I think it's too early to say that this technology is the perfect alternative to porcelain veneers, cosmetic reasons as I mentioned earlier due to the high price, remote maintenance, and lack of sufficient studies color fastness and powerful article.

But it seems to have a bright future if the cost was revised and many plants close to the referring physician, and improve the article to make it more consistent in color.

Traditional ceramic faces

The cosmetic dental ceramic faces, very much like a contact lens, but they are made of porcelain and only need to prepare the surface of the teeth, covering one or two surfaces of different ages, this ceramic crowns that covers the entire tooth. It is commonly used to cover the front teeth.

What remedial steps for cosmetic dental veneers? At first diagnosis by a physician, and discussion with the patient about the problems of his smile, and what he wants and what they expect from treatment, and called for implementation of the Edition for the upper and lower teeth.

One of the most important components of treatment that the patient is fully interested in clean teeth and gums surrounding it, and in some cases may require a surgery of the gums before starting installation.

 

Tooth preparation session

A topical anesthesia and sculpt front tooth surface by 0.5 mm or less of dentin age as needed, and then takes the tooth after preparation of the Edition, and is sent to a dental laboratory to prepare ceramic crusts.

And on the same day dental cover temporary betlbisat until the final veneer processing, visit the following doctor install veneer using a resin (resin).

Cosmetic dandruff treatment problems: some may suffer from sensitive teeth resulting from the cold during the processing of the teeth, gingival inflammation may occur as a result of an error in a porcelain veneer or in the process of preparation.

May be unbreakable ceramic faces, especially when eating solid foods such as carrots or hard nuts too.

Appropriate cases for ceramic faces

1. cases of tooth discoloration, which may be for internal reasons such as those resulting from the death of the asab age or fluoro hyperpigmentation caused by exposure to high doses of fluoride in childhood.

The color also may be due to the use of some types of antibiotics (tetracycline), or as a result of eating foods and beverages and smoking, or as a result of changing color charge old age.

2. cases of broken teeth and corroded surfaces.

3. some distortions and poor regular teeth, which prefers the patient treatment by cobalt porcelain instead of the calendar.

4. fill the blanks simple between the teeth.

Finally I like to refer to some important facts on porcelain faces

-Made some ceramic veneer color selection too white and think it is the best, but you must choose appropriate color facial skin and gums, as well as for the shape and size of the teeth, the more appropriate and properly selected they give smile to smile.

Therefore, the accurate diagnosis and case study patient and discussed with him is very important to avoid errors in treatment.

-Coverage porcelain veneers do not prevent tooth decay due to neglect cleaning teeth, where they cover age, partly so the opportunity for caries in the parts that are not covered by the greater if coverage has been deprecated.

-Cobalt porcelain is weaker than natural tooth structure, so care should be taken not to bite on solid objects or use teeth to open cans.

-That people who have a deep bite, who by virtue of their teeth during sleep is not recommended them to porcelain veneers because it will fracture and fracture easily, and sometimes a patient needs to put a protective (night guard).

-You must treat dental porcelain veneer-covered as natural teeth, so you must use a toothbrush and toothpaste and floss in cleaned.

-Coverage porcelain is not adverse to require tooth surface carving, so cannot return to form teeth, unlike contact lenses.

-The patient must visit the dentist for periodic examination of cobalt Sunni has, since the age of the plastic veneer can range between five to ten years of porcelain, one to two years of alkmbozight.

-No drifting behind advertising and looking for a doctor that you trust Secretary.
