Ceramic teeth are generally not rotten. The materials used to make ceramic teeth are relatively stable. Although some materials may show bad conditions such as gum discoloration, the application of such materials at this stage is relatively small. The cobalt chromium alloy, titanium and titanium alloys, precious metals, etc. used at this stage are not only hard, but also chemically stable. They generally do not show decay under the infiltration of saliva for a long time, so the ceramic teeth themselves will not rot. As long as the porcelain teeth are properly installed and properly maintained, the general service life is about ten to twenty years, and even some use time will be longer. However, if some people do not do well in daily maintenance, the abutment teeth may be rotten, often mistaken for porcelain teeth.
