Clasp prosthesis quadrotti is a removable dental structure, which is used in the absence of several teeth, and a whole dentition.

The prosthesis is made of plastic under the influence of high temperature.

The gingival base of the structure is soft, painted in pink. Dental crowns are made of ceramic.

In the manufacture of the construction, hooks are cast together with the gingival base, with which Quadrotti is fixed to healthy teeth.

If the prosthesis is fixed to the front teeth, then the fasteners (clasp) and the base are made of white plastic.

When restoring the posterior teeth, the clasp with the base have a natural pink color. This is important to give the jaw a natural look.

In the latter case, the abutment teeth look shorter due to the pink gingival imitation mounts.

Quadrotti dentures, like any dentures, have pros and cons.

Advantages and disadvantages

There is no need to cover the supporting teeth with crowns.
The design is equipped with elastic clasps, which when attached to the abutment teeth do not injure the enamel.
To fix the removable structure does not require turning of the teeth.
Quick addiction to quadrotti due to ease of use.
The absence of an allergic reaction in patients to the material from which the prosthesis is made.
The design is not stained with food colors and does not absorb odors.
Using the quadrotti system does not affect the diction of the patient.
In the manufacture of the construction, the addition of various flavorings is possible.
The strength and lightness of such structures allows them to prosthetics athletes.
Convenient fixation of the structure and withstanding high loads arising during chewing.
High aesthetics of the system.

disadvantages removable dentures:

The high cost of the product.
Expensive in maintenance, since it is necessary to care for the prosthesis using special means, which ultimately affects the final cost.
Designs are not able to withstand extreme loads (just like teeth). And this must be considered before prosthetics.

Manufacture

Before making a denture, all teeth and gums must be carefully treated.

Only after complete rehabilitation of the oral cavity do they begin to manufacture the structure.

The production of quadrotti takes place in several stages:

Using a special scale, the color of the base and teeth is selected.
Taking impressions from the jaws of the patient.The more accurately the impressions are made, the more comfortable the design will be when used.
Based on the print, a removable structure is cast.
After manufacturing the prosthesis, the structure is fixed in the oral cavity.
Then the dentist must tell the patient in detail how to properly care for the prosthesis.

How to care

The removable Quadrotti designs are very easy to clean:

After each meal, they must be washed under a stream of warm water.
Designs can be cleaned with a soft toothbrush, both at the same time as the teeth, and removed from the mouth.
But before going to bed, the structure must be removed from the oral cavity, cleaned well of food particles and, rinsed well with water, left on a clean surface.
But, it is better to store the system in a special solution, which has a disinfecting effect, preventing the processes of decay in the pores of the plastic.

It is better to choose a frosted or dark glass for storing the structure in order to prevent direct sunlight, which can cause deformation of the structure, to hit the prosthesis.

Life time

If you properly care for the design, then the life of the prosthesis can be about seven years. Throughout the entire period of operation, structures do not absorb odors, do not change color.

However, it should be remembered that at the slightest chips and deformations, it is urgent to show the design to the dentist. And do not try to repair the structure yourself.

Reviews on Quadrotti Dentures

I had several teeth missing. For a long time, she doubted the choice between an implant and a quadrotti system. As a result, I chose the clasp design. The result exceeded my expectations: it is convenient, aesthetically pleasing, and most importantly - hygienic. The prosthesis is small, takes up very little space in the oral cavity, does not change the taste of food.
Put the clasp construction quadrotti. I got used to the prosthesis quickly. I take off only in order to clean from plaque and food debris. Sometimes I even leave the prosthesis in my mouth for the whole night. I do not feel any discomfort.
I wanted to put a bridge, but the dentist said that due to the fact that several teeth are missing in a row, the supporting teeth may not withstand the load. Opted for a removable prosthesis quadrotti. I’ve been using it for 8 years already. Everything is in order, the teeth do not loosen, the jawbone does not atrophy either.
On the recommendation of a doctor, after the loss of an extreme tooth, he installed a clasp prosthesis. A little more than a month getting used to the plastic. The disadvantage for me was that the design is unstable on the gums, which makes it difficult to chew solid food.
I suffer from allergies and for a long time I could not find a suitable prosthesis. On the advice of the dentist, a quadrotti was installed. These prostheses are quite flexible and comfortable. I also enjoy using them because they look very aesthetically pleasing.

Cost

The cost of manufacturing the system depends on the material from which the artificial teeth will be made, the method of manufacturing the design, the amount of consumables.

The final cost of prosthetics is affected by the qualifications of the dental clinic and specialists.

The price of a quadrotti system averages between 30,000 rubles.
