Dental prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Hello.
My dentist extracted the lower right central incisor, which had previously been built up on metal together with the lower left central incisor. He is treating the lower right lateral incisor. What would currently be the best way to replace the extracted tooth? He mentioned a "žabica" temporary denture. What does that mean?
Thank you for your answer. Regards,
Simona
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
A "žabica" is a removable temporary replacement that primarily serves aesthetic rather than functional rehabilitation. Its advantage is that it can be made quickly, but it is certainly not intended as a permanent replacement. In your case, a bridge or a dental implant should be made for a permanent solution. The latter is the best option.
Have a nice day!
