Why Choose A Removable Partial Denture?

The objective of a removable or fixed prosthesis allows to replace one or more teeth, but also to protect those which are damaged. It is especially caries or periodontitis that can justify the installation of dental prostheses. By using a complete or partial removable prosthesis, the patient benefits from a device capable of replacing one or more teeth to prevent others from moving, to find good chewing functions, and to find a beautiful smile.

The Complete Removable Prosthesis

What is the installation of complete removable dentures?

The installation of complete dentures is necessary in case of the total absence of teeth. It is commonly known as dentures. The mouthpiece is designed with a resin base and false teeth in resin or porcelain. If the removable prosthesis complete the top is mainly due to the phenomenon of capillarity, denture from below is much less stable. To remedy this, it will be necessary to put a special “glue.” The dentist can put 2 dental implants and a bar to fix the dentures.

Operation of the complete removable prosthesis

Also known as complete dentures, complete dentures are intended to restore total edentulism. To fix, they rely on the gum. The pose is carried out thanks to a phenomenon of a suction cup as well as a film of saliva located between the prosthesis and the gum. The complete removable prosthesis is usually made with a pink acrylic resin. Some models can increase their strength by reinforcing the resin with a fiberglass frame or by adding a metal alloy. It may be that the maintenance of complete removable dentures becomes insufficient when the gingiva is very flat or in the absence of saliva. In general, lower whole dentures are less stable than those of the upper prostheses. This lack of fixation is due to the small contact surface with the gingiva. To solve these problems of holding complete removable prostheses, it is possible to choose the dental implant placement.

Advantages and disadvantages of the complete removable prosthesis

Among the advantages, the device is less expensive when there is no implant placement to perform. The complete removable prosthesis is quick and easy. It allows patients to find a masticatory function and a nice smile. As for the disadvantages: difficult to get used to a denture, for good maintenance, it will remove after each meal to clean it. At the beginning of its use, the dental appliance can hurt.
