Ортопедія під мікроскопом у Києві

MED-DEO combines orthopedic treatment with advanced diagnostics, digital scanning, and microscope-assisted procedures.   This ensures greater precision when preparing a tooth for a crown, veneer, or other restoration, and allows for better control over the fit of the final appliance.

Before proceeding with prosthetics, the dentist evaluates the condition of the teeth, roots, gums, bone tissue, and bite to develop a personalized solution rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The clinic offers ceramic and zirconia crowns, bridges, veneers, removable dentures, partial frameworks, and implant-supported restorations..

With multiple locations across Kyiv, MED-DEO makes it convenient for patients to schedule consultations, undergo treatment, and attend follow-up appointments after their prosthetic procedures.

A prosthodontist is a dentist who diagnoses, plans, and carries out tooth restoration using crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays/onlays, removable and fixed dentures, as well as implant-supported structures. Their primary goal is to restore the function, aesthetics, and comfort of the dentition.

People consult an orthopedist in various situations:

• if one or more teeth are missing;
• if a tooth is severely damaged and a filling is no longer a reliable solution;
• in cases of pathological tooth wear;
• when crowns, veneers, or inlays are required;
• if old crowns, bridges, or dentures have become uncomfortable or aesthetically unpleasing;
• for implant-supported prosthetics;
• in cases of partial or complete tooth loss.

It is important to understand the distinction between a prosthodontist and other dental specialists. An implantologist places the implant into the bone, while a prosthodontist restores the tooth on top of it—securing a crown, bridge, or denture. An orthodontist straightens teeth and corrects the bite. A gnathologist addresses issues involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), muscle tension, pain, clicking sounds, and occlusal disorders. In complex cases, these specialists may collaborate; however, when the primary goal is to restore or replace teeth using prosthetic structures, the key specialist is the prosthodontist.

Orthopedic structures are selected depending on the condition of the teeth, the number of missing units, bite, the condition of the gums and bone tissue. Most often, an orthopedic dentist works with the following solutions:

• Crowns. These are placed when a tooth is severely damaged, but the root and supporting tissues are still in a condition that allows the tooth to be saved. A crown covers the tooth on all sides, restoring its shape, strength, and chewing function. In modern prosthodontics, ceramic and zirconia crowns are frequently used: ceramics effectively mimic the appearance of a natural tooth, while zirconia combines high strength with an aesthetic look.
• Dental bridges. These structures are used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge is anchored to adjacent teeth or dental implants, restoring the integrity of the dental arch. This can be an excellent solution, provided there are reliable anchor points and the clinical situation allows for the placement of a bridge.
• Veneers and Lumineers. These are primarily used in the “smile zone” to improve the shape, color, or proportions of the teeth. They consist of thin facings that help conceal minor enamel defects, gaps, irregularities, or other aesthetic imperfections. Veneers typically require minimal tooth preparation, while Lumineers—which can be even thinner—may not be suitable for every patient.
• Removable and fixed prostheses. The specific type of prosthetic treatment is selected on an individual basis. The choice depends on factors such as the number of missing teeth, the condition of the gums, the state of the supporting teeth and bone tissue, the patient’s bite (occlusion), and their budget. Fixed restorations include crowns and bridges, while removable options include full or partial dentures—made from materials such as acrylic or nylon—as well as cast-framework (clasp) dentures.
• Implant-supported prosthetics. This method allows for the restoration of either a single tooth or an entire row of teeth. Implants can support individual crowns, bridges, or full-arch fixed restorations, such as those using the All-on-4 or All-on-6 protocols.
• Splinting of mobile teeth. This procedure is used to stabilize teeth, reduce their mobility, and evenly distribute the forces generated during chewing. Most often, splinting is part of a comprehensive treatment plan for periodontal issues.

For a dental crown to last a long time, it must fit the prepared tooth precisely. If a gap remains between the edge of the crown and the tooth, plaque can accumulate, the gums may become irritated, the dental cement can gradually break down, or secondary decay (recurrent caries) may develop.

This is precisely why the quality of tooth preparation is so critical. The more accurately the foundation for the crown is shaped, the better the restoration fits onto the tooth. Consequently, this reduces the risk of microleakage, gum inflammation, discomfort, and the need for the work to be redone.

Therefore, the use of a microscope is not merely an “optional extra”—it is a matter of precision. By allowing the dentist to better monitor every stage of the procedure, optical magnification increases the likelihood of a tight fit, a stable outcome, and a longer lifespan for the dental restoration.
