ACCEPTING A PROSTHESIS MAY NOT BE EASY…
Turkey Medicals – the feeling of not being able to accept a dental prosthesis, which can even cause depression, affects the quality of a person’s life. However, with an implant, that is, a fixed prosthesis, the patient will be comfortable.
The feeling of alienating the prosthesis is a condition that is manifested subjectively by various complaints of patients, despite the fact that the dimensions and function of the prosthesis are good, there are no abstract changes in the tissue. Sometimes there are minor, uncomfortable changes caused by the prosthesis, but exaggerated subjective complaints that do not fit the image at all are at the forefront. In such a case, a prosthesis inserted into the mouth is a phenomenon of non-acceptance for spiritual reasons, sometimes rarely due to the perception of a filler or something similar as an unusual foreign substance. Patients are not in a state of perception of the prosthesis as part of their body.

THE EMOTIONAL DIMENSION OF TOOTHLESSNESS
Loss is one of the inevitable aspects of life. Especially when a person loses something that belongs to him, especially when it is an organ in his body, trauma is inevitable. When a person loses a hand, an arm, a leg, his whole life changes. This event, which affects the way of life, movements and ability to weaken, will be very heavy for the patient emotionally. Just like these organs (although it may not seem so dramatic), tooth loss can also be traumatic enough to change a person’s life pattern. For example, when a person who has lost all his teeth is sentenced to use a palate prosthesis, it takes time for him to adapt to this situation, the person may be worried, this condition can lead to depression. Even the gag reflex can be an emotional reaction to tooth loss. November function can be significantly impaired and cause poor coordination, inability to perform jaw movements correctly.
.
ANXIETY AND STRESS ARE NATURAL IN TOOTH LOSS
Everyone is somewhat worried about the dentist’s examination. But the increase in the size of anxiety prevents both treatment and makes the patient unhappy. Anxiety towards the dentist is caused by financial worries, fear of pain, thinking about the possibility of not achieving the desired result, and often previous bad experiences. Some researchers have concluded that the mood of the person is important in determining the patient’s ability to adapt to the denture and accepting this situation. Normal patients respond to fear and anxiety at 3 levels. The first level is the level of mental response. This is the highest level. The patient is willing to accept and face the difficulties in order to achieve certain results and benefits. The second level of the provided provision is of two types: physiological and psychological. It can be expressed in various degrees of emerging resistance and hostility, which leads to quarrels. The third level of response is the lowest. These patients only look at what they want; they accept what is pleasant, they reject what is not. Such patients are not too worried about the outcome or nature of the treatment. They do not accept what is comfortable and accept others. It is believed that being satisfied with the denture is primarily about personality.

ARE IMPLANTS PAINFUL?
The biggest fear about dental implants is the worry of feeling pain. A large part of the patients who have had implants express that this concern, which they carry for the operation and its aftermath, is unnecessary. During the procedure, only local anesthesia is used, and there is less pain during tooth extraction. Mild complaints that may occur after the operation can be resolved with a simple painkiller.

HOW CAN IMPLANTS CHANGE YOUR LIFE?
Implants mimic the natural tooth root, but also maintain the natural shape and volume of the jawbone. Subsidence and shaped asymmetries in the facial lines that occur due to tooth loss are prevented. Missing teeth can be easily placed in this area without damaging neighboring teeth, so that the person can regain their natural smile, functions such as chewing and speaking. Patients who have lost a large number of teeth have to use movable prostheses. They can easily have fixed prostheses with implant application

POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED DURING THE PROSTHESIS CONSTRUCTION PERIOD
At this stage, psychological factors are much more important than the anatomical condition of the mouth and the quality of the prosthesis being made in order to accept the denture and adapt to the denture. It is much more important to talk to patients before the construction of prostheses and find out what they want, what they think. It represents the expectations, attitudes of patients. If the patient’s expectations are beyond the limits of possibility, they are too high, which will lead to complex and inconsistent reactions and dissatisfaction. And no matter how well you make dentures for this type of patient, the result will be unsuccessful for the patient. The most correct thing to do at this stage will be to talk to the patient and talk about realistic results, to raise his expectations to the right levels.

THEY CAN GO TO A PSYCHIATRIST
Symptoms of alienation of the prosthesis; Although there is no objective change in the oral tissue clinically, burning, especially at the tip of the tongue, very painful burns on the palate or, less rarely, on the lips and throat, a feeling of bitter alienation, taste disorders, taste of any substance that is not present in the mouth, dry mouth are usually severe symptoms such as. Patients constantly try to establish various diseases and complaints and establish a connection with their ailments. In contrast to such diseases, patients with problems caused by a pronounced denture stroke, characterized by inflammatory rashes, do not make such complaints, and they usually do not perceive the change in their mouth as disturbing.
The cause of the disease:
Such complaints occur more often in depressed people. This depression is usually hidden (masked), which is not very obvious. Such complaints can easily occur in people who are in a state of resistance to social and economic pressures in their immediate environment, who are meticulous, struggle with personality, and who have an emotional outweigh. The likelihood of not being able to withstand prosthetics increases with the presence of other factors in women after menopause. In addition, the incidence of this problem is high in very elderly patients, those with impaired cerebral circulation.
Treatment:
The problem can be overcome more quickly if the focus points can be shifted in another direction so that the patients do not listen to themselves. In stubborn cases, a psychiatrist’s consultation and antidepressant medication therapy in Turkey may be required.
