Metals in the mouth
The problems of the load of patients with metals take before all in the higherdeveloped industrial nations anincreasing value and are discussed inconnection with the increase chronicallyof inflammatory illnesses. Beside the metal admission about the food andabout the respiratory tract the metals medically introduced in the body aboveall also count to the important treaclymetal springs for the human organism. Besides, a particular importance has beside the surgery also the dental medicine. Implants, prosthesis, fillings, crowns, bridges and braces show permanently in the body introduced metallic irritant factors.
The corrosion stability is an important quality criterion of metallic set ofdentures. A high corrosion rate existingby processing mistake causes a stronger emission of the metals and shows therefore the condition for the admission in the organism. The problem is often strengthened by the fact that such a prosthesis by the dentist is used in a mouth in which already other metallic constructions are like fillings, crowns or implants. Galvanic events (principle of the battery) begin with it, i.e. it go by corrosion increasingly metalions in solution and are taken up about the mucous membranes of the mouth and digestive tract in the organism constantly. About the years the load adds up in the organism.
The results by corrosion or wear caused metal emission in the oral cavity can be: demineralisation of the teeth, reddening, swells, burnings and discolorations of the mucousmembranes, chronic Parodontitis, metallic taste, bad breath up to celldegeneration.
The system broads effects of the metals strongly depend on the individualdelicacy of the affected person.
In our practise we renounce so far at all possibly metalliferous set of denturesand offer set of dentures free of metal of modern high-capacity plastics and ceramics.
