Psihološke in estetsko-funkcionalne posledice izgube zob ter proces sprejemanja protetične oskrbe : diplomsko delo

Ravnik, Ema (avtor), Rojko, Franc (mentor), Lampe, Tomaž (recenzent)

Uvod: Zobje so sami po sebi ključnega pomena za preživetje in imajo zelo pomembno vlogo pri žvečenju, tvorjenju glasov in videzu. Če pride do izgube zob, pa to lahko močno vpliva na počutje in te tri dejavnike. Nekatere osebe doživijo izgubo zob, kot da bi izgubile del telesa, zaradi tega se tudi izogibajo druženju. To lahko učinkuje na njihovo duševno stanje, lahko zapadejo v depresijo. Če pride do izgube zob, pa je to mogoče popraviti in zobe nadomestiti. Po nadomestitvi manjkajočega zoba ali zobovja se sicer pojavijo nove težave, saj je za pacienta protetični nadomestek tujek, na katerega se mora navaditi. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti, kakšne posledice doživijo pacienti po izgubi zob. Želeli smo raziskati, od kod izhaja strah pred zobozdravnikom, kaj nanj vpliva in kakšne so lahko posledice. Najbolj pa nas je zanimalo, kako poteka postopek po izgubi zob, za kakšno protetično oskrbo se odločiti. Zanimalo nas je tudi, koliko časa potrebuje pacient, da se navadi na protetično oskrbo in na kaj vse ta novost lahko vpliva. Metode dela: Pri pisanju diplomskega dela smo se usmerili na pregled literature, in sicer zbiranje in analiziranje literature, kot so strokovni članki, znanstvene revije in strokovne knjige. Literaturo smo iskali na spletnih straneh, kot so Google Scholar, PubMed in Medline. Po raziskavi literature smo izdelali izdelek za pacientko, ki je zaradi bolezni izgubila vse zgornje zobe. Rezultati: V okviru diplomskega dela smo za pacientko, ki je zaradi parodontalne bolezni izgubila vse zgornje zobe, izdelali totalno snemno protezo. Postopek je vključeval ekstrakcijo zob, celjenje ran, izdelavo začasne proteze in kasnejšo izdelavo končne totalne proteze. Pacientka je imela začetne težave s prilagoditvijo na protezo, vključno z bolečinami in težavami pri prehranjevanju, vendar je sčasoma izboljšala funkcijo in samozavest pri nošenju proteze. Razprava in zaključek: Zdravje zob je ključno za telesno, psihološko in socialno dobro počutje posameznika. Težave, kot so izguba zob ali strah pred zobozdravstvenimi posegi, lahko vplivajo na samozavest in družbene interakcije. Pomembno je, da zobozdravstveni strokovnjaki prepoznajo povezavo med telesnim in duševnim zdravjem ter zagotovijo celostno podporo, ki vključuje tako učinkovito zdravljenje kot čustveno pomoč.

Introduction: Teeth are crucial for survival and play a vital role in chewing, speech formation, and appearance. Tooth loss can significantly affect well-being and these three factors. Some individuals experience tooth loss as if they have lost a part of their body, which can lead them to avoid social interactions. This can profoundly impact their mental health, potentially leading to depression. However, tooth loss can be addressed, and missing teeth replaced. Despite this, new challenges may arise after the replacement, as prosthetic substitutes are foreign to the patient and require adjustment. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to present the consequences experienced by patients after losing teeth. The study aims to explore the origins of dental fear, the factors influencing it, and the potential consequences of tooth loss. Furthermore, it investigates the time required for gums to heal, and the duration of patient adjustment to prosthetic care. The study also examines the impact of prosthetics. Methods: In writing this thesis, we focused on a literature review, collecting and analyzing professional sources such as scientific articles, academic journals, and professional books. Literature was sourced from websites like Google Scholar, PubMed, and Medline. Following the literature review, we created a product for a patient who lost all upper teeth due to disease. Results: As part of the thesis, a complete removable denture was created for a patient who had lost all upper teeth due to periodontal disease. The procedure involved tooth extraction, wound healing, the creation of a temporary denture, and eventually a final full denture. The patient initially faced challenges in adapting to the denture, including pain and difficulties with eating, but eventually experienced improved functionality and confidence in wearing the prosthesis. Discussion and conclusion: Dental health is essential for an individual’s physical, psychological, and social well-being. Problems such as tooth loss or fear of dental procedures can significantly affect self-confidence and social interactions. It is crucial for dental professionals to recognize the connection between physical and mental health and provide comprehensive support, including effective treatment and emotional care.
