Melbourne denture clinics are conducting an historic beautification technique that has been around for centuries. Aesthetic dentistry has become increasingly popular do to the global advances in dentistry practices.
The purpose of a denture or dentures is to firstly, improve the aesthetics of a person’s mouth and secondly, as a practical measure when there has been irreparable damage to the tooth and its roots. A full denture replaces both the tooth and the underlying bone. A lesser denture is a smaller version, where a partial denture is fixed, also known as a fixed bridge. Today porcelain dentures ensure beauty and durability and maintain a luminous quality that very closely resembles your natural teeth. This said, acrylic resins generally make stronger teeth than porcelain made dentures and so are more widely used. Dental implants are the latest in tooth-replacement technology and are prosthetic teeth to be implanted directly into the bones of the jaw.
The historicity of dentures is particularly interesting and has proved to be one of the most amazing art forms of our time. Each denture is custom made to suit the individual. The latest methodology used in denture design, known as dentogenics, is based on research conducted in Switzerland in the early 1950s. Despite this, aesthetic dentistry has been around for much longer than the 1950s. Tooth manipulation dates right back to the Mayans in 1000 AD, and have carried forward as a beautification technique used across the millennia. The aforementioned study on Esthetic Dentistry details this phenomenon. “Interest in dental esthetics was virtually absent during the Middle Ages. It was not until the eighteenth century that dentistry was recognised as a separate discipline and its various branches were established.”
Gordon J. Christensen, DDS, MSD, PhD, wrote in a forward for a massive collaborative study on Esthetic Dentistry, “The change in dentistry from need-based dentistry to elective dentistry has made a significant impact on the profession and the public perception of dentists.” This second edition was published in 2001. The first modern use of dentures was proliferated by the father of modern dentistry Pierre Fauchard (1678-1761). He encouraged aesthetic oral practices and “introduced a technique for the manufacture of mineral (as opposed to ivory or bone) ‘incorruptible’ teeth for use in dentures.” The materials used in denture formation have not changed too dramatically. “The introduction of mineral teeth in 1817 was soon followed by the manufacture of porcelain teeth,” which is still used today. During the early 1930s,synthetic materials were introduced such as vinyl acrylic resins, copolymer acrylic resins and styrene acrylic resins. The material “Vulcanite was the first universally acceptable denture material.” The manufacturing process involved “heating caoutchouc (Indian rubber) with sulphur, resulting in a firm yet flexible material.” Nelson Goodear patented this product in 1851.
One of the most challenging aspects to ensuring that a modern denture perfectly matches the shading in an individual’s mouth is named hue sensitivity. Matching colour and shade gets difficult because “After 5 seconds of staring at a tooth or shade guide, the eye accommodates and becomes biased.” The process of hue sensitivity occurs when “a person stares at any colour for longer than 5 seconds and then stares away at a white surface or closes his or her eyes, the image appears, but in the complementary hue.”
Modern denture technology has definitely proved highly effective in repairing the aesthetic and function of decaying oral interiors.
