The forces of eating transferred from the natural tooth to the bone and then to the jaw joint. This mechanism called as mastication. Under normal circumstances the load of therefore chewing controlled by the feedback mechanism of the naturally shock absorbable periodontal ligaments.\u00a0Eating with SAPTeeth dental crown feels light as the crowns enhance your aesthetics and functionality of bite. SAPTeeth are designed for comfortable chewing and fixed teeth rehabilitation in selected cases. Learn what to eat, what to avoid and how to maintain them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In cases where dental treatment done and extremely rigid prosthetic materials like metal and zirconium used, they can withstand natural torsion of the jawbone but if they connected in the premolar and the molar region the compressive and tensile forces transmitted to the natural root and implant increases. In cases whereas of weak bone this is highly unadvisable, as this may lead to early aging of the prosthesis and loss of the support structures.\u00a0Compared to titanium, zirconium, or ceramic, rehabilitation with SAPTeethTM <\/sup>dental crowns significantly reduce the peak load during eating. This shock absorbable property produces a positive effect for the patient and increases the durability of the restoration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Who is this article for?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This article is for patients who have been advised SAPTeeth or full-mouth fixed teeth and want to know whether they can eat comfortably after treatment. It is especially useful for patients with implants, weak bone, worn teeth, full-mouth rehabilitation, or old crowns and bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you eat comfortably with SAPTeeth?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, many patients can eat comfortably with SAPTeeth when the bite, implant support, gum health and prosthesis design are planned properly. SAPTeeth are used in selected cases to support chewing comfort, smile appearance and fixed teeth rehabilitation. However, patients should follow diet instructions during the initial healing and adjustment period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why bite planning matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eating comfort does not depend only on the crown material. It depends on how the upper and lower teeth meet, how forces are distributed, whether implants or natural teeth are supporting the prosthesis, and whether the patient has habits such as grinding or heavy chewing. Proper bite adjustment is important for long-term comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What foods should be avoided initially?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Immediately after treatment, patients may be advised to avoid very hard, sticky, crunchy or extremely chewy foods. Even if fixed teeth are given on the same day, heavy biting should be avoided until the dentist confirms that healing and bite stability are satisfactory.<\/p>\n\n\n

What is an SAPTeeth Crown?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SAP stands for Shock Absorbable Permanent Teeth, but don\u2019t let that long title scare you! SAPTeethTM<\/sup>\u00a0are a group of highly advanced polymers which are specially made to protect the bone, implant and the natural tooth under it. SAPTeethTM<\/sup>\u00a0means\u00a0Shock Absorbable Permanent Teeth<\/a>. Our natural teeth have a hardness of about 350 mpa to 450 mpa. Ceramic or porcelain or zirconia teeth are very hard compare to natural teeth. Their hardness usually ranges between 2000 to 4500 mpa. We never had an ideal material for making artificial teeth in dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n

How does SAPTeeth dental crown force get transferred?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Natural teeth: <\/strong>Sharpe’s fibers support the retention of the tooth into the jaw bone and also absorb the forces which applied to the tooth. These fibers also contain nerve endings which gives a feedback to the brain in case of excessive force. Hence the maximum load borne by the tooth and little load transmitted to the bone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Implant: <\/strong>In case of Osseo integrated dental implant, no fibers or nerve endings are present. Also, the feedback to the brain is very low. As there is no shock absorbing capability in titanium dental implant, the entire load is directly borne by the natural bone. whereas Under such large forces of eating the natural bone tends to get damaged and weak. <\/p>\n\n\n

The doctor<\/a> during consultation will give options for 28, 24 or 20 teeth, how do you decide?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A 28 teeth rehabilitation is truly a full mouth rehabilitation. With the restoration of the bite and aesthetics, the patient can lead a relatively normal like and enjoy the taste of life. These rehabilitations may include the needs for desensitization of natural teeth to save them along with replacement of missing teeth with implants. These treatments usually take 1-3 days to completely rehabilitate. After the treatment, the muscles and the joint relax in about 3-4 weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do SAPTeethTM<\/sup><\/a> <\/sup>manage these forces?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Natural teeth: <\/strong>Crowing or capping of natural teeth is usually indicated in cases where the tooth is already damaged due to infection, mobility, and cavity or has been altered by cosmetic dentistry, in such cases the ability of the Sharpe\u2019s fibers reduces. SAPTeethTM <\/sup>redistribute these forces and reduce the load and pressure on the natural tooth, Sharpe\u2019s fiber<\/a> and the bone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
