5) Cleaning and Care
Daily Cleaning
Oral Hygiene:
Brushing:
- Recommended brushing teeth twice a day, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste.
Flossing:
- Recommend daily flossing to remove plaque and debris from between the teeth and around the fixed restoration. A floss threader may be needed for hard-to-reach areas (for bridges). Care must be taken to prevent the dislodging of the restoration.
Mouthwash:
- Alcohol-based mouthwashes tend to dry out the mouth, leading to increased plaque and tartar buildup.
Dietary and Habit Recommendations
- Avoid abrasive foods: Limit hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that can damage the restoration or cause it to loosen.
- Avoid sugary foods, as they can form new cavities or cause premature decay of the restorative margins.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps keep your patient’s mouth clean and prevents gum disease.
- Avoid bad habits: Refrain from using teeth to open packages or biting on hard objects.
6) Storage
Requires a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight, extreme heat (above 77°F/25°C), moisture, dust, and contamination, as these conditions can degrade the material or compromise its integrity, affecting temporary use and ultimately impacting shelf life and performance.
7) Expected Life / Service
PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) dental bridges generally last 3 to 5 years, but often require more frequent attention than other materials, depending heavily on oral hygiene, habits (avoiding hard/sticky foods), bridge design, and location (front vs. back teeth).
8) Incident / Complaint Reporting
Report suspected serious incidents associated with this device to:
- The Manufacturer and/or Dandy Australia entity using the contacts above, and
- Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)
In Australia, serious incidents involving medical devices must be reported to the TGA in accordance with the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989.
INFO
For full contact details of the local Authorized Representative, refer to: Authorized Representatives — end of this document.
9) Disposal
- Disposal of PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) dental restorations involves recycling, often through specialized dental waste handlers who can chemically break it down into its monomer (MMA) or manage it as plastic. However, it should not be placed in the general trash due to environmental concerns.
- Fully cured PMMA might also be treated like general plastic waste if not mixed with metals or hazardous components.
- No Regular Trash: Do not dispose of PMMA dental waste in the regular garbage or medical waste streams.
- Hazardous Components: If mixed with solvents or other hazardous materials, it requires specific hazardous waste handling.

⚠PRECAUTIONS
na
5) Nettoyage et entretien
(Instructions relatives aux soins aux patients — selon les directives du professionnel des soins dentaires) Nettoyage quotidien
Hygiène buccodentaire:
Brossage :
- Il est recommandé de se brosser les dents deux fois par jour, à l’aide d’une brosse à dents à poils souples et d’un dentifrice fluoré.
Utilisation du fil dentaire:
- Recommander une utilisation quotidienne du fil dentaire pour éliminer la plaque dentaire et les résidus alimentaires entre les dents et autour de la restauration fixe. Un enfile-fil dentaire peut s’avérer nécessaire pour les zones difficiles d’accès (comme les bridges). Il faut veiller à ce que la restauration ne se déloge pas.
Bain de bouche:
- Les bains de bouche à base d’alcool ont tendance à sécher la bouche, ce qui entraîne une augmentation de la plaque dentaire et de l’accumulation de tartre.
Recommandations alimentaires et habitudes
- Eviter les aliments abrasifs : Limiter la consommation d’aliments durs, croquants ou collants qui pourraient endommager la restauration ou la faire se desceller.
- Éviter les aliments sucrés, car ils peuvent former de nouvelles cavités ou provoquer une dégradation prématurée des marges de restauration.
- Rester hydraté : Boire beaucoup d’eau aide à garder la bouche de votre patient propre et prévient les maladies des gencives.
- Éviter les mauvaises habitudes : Ne pas utiliser les dents pour ouvrir des emballages ou mordre sur des objets durs.
6) Stockage
Nécessite un endroit frais et sec, à l’abri de la lumière directe du soleil, de la chaleur excessive (supérieure à 25°C), de l’humidité, de la poussière et de toute contamination, car ces conditions peuvent altérer le matériau ou compromettre son intégrité, ce qui affecterait son utilisation temporaire et, à terme, sa durée de conservation et ses performances.
7) Durée de vie / Service attendu
Les bridges dentaires en PMMA (polyméthacrylate de méthyle) ont généralement une durée de vie de 3 à 5 ans, mais nécessitent souvent un entretien plus fréquent que ceux fabriqués dans d’autres matériaux. Cela dépend fortement de l’hygiène bucco-dentaire, des habitudes alimentaires (il faut éviter les aliments durs ou collants), de la conception du bridge et de son emplacement (dents de devant ou de derrière).

Sicherheitsdatenblatt für provisorische Kronen und Brücken
3) Kontraindikationen
Provisorische Kronen sollten bei Patienten mit unkontrollierter Parodontalerkrankung, schwerer Knochenresorption, aktiver Karies oder Läsionen der Mundschleimhaut nur mit Vorsicht eingesetzt werden
4) Warnhinweise / Vorsichtsmaßnahmen / Potenzielle Risiken
⚠WARNHINWEISE
Die Verwendung von provisorischen Brücken birgt potenzielle Risiken, einschließlich Versagen, Passungenauigkeit, Bruch und Sekundärkaries.
*Warnhinweis – Reizung:
- Aufgrund der individuellen Variabilität der Gewebereaktion kann es bei spezifischen Personen zu lokalen Irritationen des umgebenden oralen Gewebes kommen. Die Patienten sollten nach dem Einsetzen überwacht werden, und der behandelnde Arzt sollte jegliche Anzeichen von Reizung, Entzündung oder Missempfinden bewerten.
⚠VORSICHTSMASSNAHMEN
na
5) Reinigung und Pflege
Tägliche Reinigung
Mundhygiene:
Zähneputzen:
- Empfohlen wird zweimal tägliches Zähneputzen mit einer weichen Zahnbürste und einer fluoridhaltigen Zahnpasta.
Zahnseide:
- Es wird eine tägliche Anwendung von Zahnseide empfohlen, um Plaque und Speisereste aus den Zahnzwischenräumen sowie im Bereich des festsitzenden Zahnersatzes zu entfernen. Für schwer zugängliche Bereiche (bei Brücken) kann eine Einfädelhilfe für Zahnseide erforderlich sein. Es muss sorgfältig darauf geachtet werden, ein Ablösen der Restauration zu verhindern.
Mundspülung:
- Alkoholhaltige Mundspülungen neigen dazu, den Mund auszutrocknen, was zu einer verstärkten Bildung von Plaque und Zahnstein führt.
Empfehlungen zu Ernährung und Gewohnheiten
- Vermeidung abrasiver Lebensmittel: Vermeiden Sie nach Möglichkeit harte, knusprige oder klebrige Speisen. Diese können die Restauration beschädigen oder dazu führen, dass sie sich lockert.
- Verzichten Sie auf zuckerhaltige Lebensmittel, da diese die Entstehung von neuer Karies begünstigen und zu einem vorzeitigen Abbau der Kronen- und Brückenränder führen können.
- Hydriert bleiben: Das Trinken von reichlich Wasser trägt dazu bei, die Mundhöhle des Patienten sauber zu halten und Parodontalerkrankungen vorzubeugen.
- Vermeidung schlechter Gewohnheiten: Verzichten Sie darauf, die Zähne zum Öffnen von Verpackungen oder zum Beißen auf harte Gegenstände zu verwenden.
6) Lagerung
Erfordert eine kühle, trockene Lagerung, geschützt vor direkter Sonneneinstrahlung, extremer Hitze (über 25 °C / 77 °F), Feuchtigkeit, Staub und Kontamination, da diese Bedingungen das Material zersetzen oder seine Integrität beeinträchtigen können, was den temporären Einsatz stört und sich letztlich negativ auf die Haltbarkeit sowie die Leistungsfähigkeit auswirkt
7) Erwartete Lebensdauer / Nutzungsdauer
PMMA-Zahnersatz (Polymethylmethacrylat-Brücken) hält in der Regel 3 bis 5 Jahre, erfordert jedoch häufiger eine zahnärztliche Kontrolle als andere Materialien. Dies hängt stark von der Mundhygiene, den Gewohnheiten (Vermeiden harter oder klebriger Lebensmittel), dem Brückendesign und der Lokalisation (Front- vs. Backenzähne) ab

Scheda di sicurezza del materiale di corone e ponti temporanei
3) Controindicazioni
Le corone temporanee devono essere utilizzate con cautela in pazienti con malattia parodontale non controllata, grave riassorbimento osseo, carie attive o lesioni orali.
4) Avvertenze / Precauzioni / Rischi potenziali
⚠AVVERTENZE
L'uso di ponti temporanei può comportare rischi potenziali, tra cui lesioni, malformazioni, rotture e carie ricorrenti.
*Avvertenza – Irritazione:
- In individui specifici può verificarsi irritazione localizzata dei tessuti orali circostanti a causa della variabilità individuale della risposta tissutale. I pazienti devono essere monitorati dopo il posizionamento e il medico curante deve valutare eventuali segni di irritazione, infiammazione o disagio.
⚠PRECAUZIONI
NA
5) Pulizia e cura
Pulizia quotidiana
Igiene orale:
Spazzolamento:
- Si raccomanda di lavarsi i denti due volte al giorno, utilizzando uno spazzolino da denti a setole morbide e un dentifricio al fluoro.
Filo interdentale:
- Si consiglia di utilizzare ogni giorno il filo interdentale per rimuovere la placca e i detriti tra i denti e intorno al restauro fisso. Può essere necessario una punta passafilo per le aree difficili da raggiungere (per ponti). Prestare attenzione per evitare lo spostamento del restauro.
Collutorio:
- I collutori contenenti alcol tendono ad asciugare la bocca, con conseguente aumento della formazione di placca e tartaro.
Consigli sull'alimentazione e sulle abitudini
- Evitare alimenti abrasivi: limitare il consumo di cibi duri, croccanti o appiccicosi che possono danneggiare il restauro o causarne l'allentamento.
- Evitare cibi zuccherati, in quanto possono formare nuove cavità o causare un decadimento prematuro dei margini di restauro.
- Rimanere idratati: bere molta acqua aiuta a mantenere pulita la bocca del paziente e previene le malattie gengivali.
- Evitare cattive abitudini: evitare di usare i denti per aprire pacchetti o mordere oggetti duri.
6) Conservazione
Richiede un luogo fresco e asciutto, protetto dalla luce solare diretta, dal calore estremo (oltre 25 °C/77 °F), dall'umidità, dalla polvere e dalla contaminazione, in quanto queste condizioni possono degradare il materiale o comprometterne l'integrità, compromettendo l'uso temporaneo e, in ultima analisi, la durata di conservazione e le prestazioni.
7) Durata prevista / Assistenza
I ponti dentali in PMMA (polimetilmetacrilato) durano generalmente da 3 a 5 anni, ma spesso richiedono un'attenzione più frequente rispetto ad altri materiali, poiché dipendono notevolmente dall'igiene orale, dalle abitudini (evitare cibi duri/appiccicosi), dal design del ponte e dalla posizione (denti anteriori e posteriori).
8) Segnalazione di incidenti / Reclami
Segnalare gli incidenti gravi sospetti associati a questo dispositivo a:
- Produttore e/o entità UE Dandy utilizzando i contatti sopra indicati e i corrispondenti requisiti locali

9) Smaltimento
Lo smaltimento dei restauri dentali in PMMA (polimetilmetacrilato) comprende il riciclaggio, spesso attraverso addetti specializzati in rifiuti dentali che li possono scomporre chimicamente nel monomero (MMA) o gestirli come materiale plastico. Tuttavia, non dovrebbero essere buttati tra i rifiuti indifferenziati a causa dei problemi ambientali.
- Se non miscelato con metalli o componenti pericolosi, il PMMA completamente polimerizzato potrebbe anche essere trattato come rifiuto plastico generico.
- Non gettare tra i rifiuti regolari: non smaltire i rifiuti dentali in PMMA tra i normali rifiuti o nei flussi di rifiuti medici.
- Componenti pericolosi: se miscelato con solventi o altri materiali pericolosi, richiede una gestione specifica dei rifiuti pericolosi.

5) Cleaning and Care
Daily Cleaning
Oral Hygiene:
Brushing:
- Recommended brushing teeth twice a day, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste.
Flossing:
- Recommend daily flossing to remove plaque and debris from between the teeth and around the fixed restoration. A floss threader may be needed for hard-to-reach areas (for bridges). Care must be taken to prevent the dislodging of the restoration.
Mouthwash:
- Alcohol-based mouthwashes tend to dry out the mouth, leading to increased plaque and tartar buildup.
Dietary and Habit Recommendations
- Avoid abrasive foods: Limit hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that can damage the restoration or cause it to loosen.
- Avoid sugary foods, as they can form new cavities or cause premature decay of the restorative margins.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps keep your patient’s mouth clean and prevents gum disease.
- Avoid bad habits: Refrain from using teeth to open packages or biting on hard objects.
6) Storage
Requires a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight, extreme heat (above 77°F/25°C), moisture, dust, and contamination, as these conditions can degrade the material or compromise its integrity, affecting temporary use and ultimately impacting shelf life and performance.
7) Expected Life / Service
PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) dental bridges generally last 3 to 5 years, but often require more frequent attention than other materials, depending heavily on oral hygiene, habits (avoiding hard/sticky foods), bridge design, and location (front vs. back teeth).
8) Incident / Complaint Reporting
Report suspected serious incidents associated with this device to:
- The Manufacturer and/or UK Responsible Person (UKRP) using the contacts above, and
- The UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) — www.gov.uk/mhra
