What are removable dentures

Teeth are an indispensable organ in our human body. The nutrients in our body are chewed into residues by teeth and then enter the body and are distributed to various organs. Therefore, teeth are very important to us. However, as we get older, teeth will degenerate. So we will choose to go to the hospital to choose different dentures and choose the one that suits us best. So what are removable dentures? Let me briefly introduce to you what removable dentures are.

The professional medical name for removable dentures is "removable dentures" or "removable dentures".

1. Classification of removable partial dentures According to the way the denture supports the forces it bears

1 Tooth-supported dentures

There are remaining natural teeth at both ends of the gap, and the force borne by the denture is mainly borne by the natural teeth.

2 Mucosa-supported dentures

The force on the denture is mainly borne by the mucosa and the alveolar bone underneath. No supports are provided due to loose remaining teeth or tight bite.

3. Tooth- and mucosa-supported dentures

The forces borne by dentures are borne jointly by natural teeth, mucosa and alveolar ridges.

2. Classification by denture production method and materials

1 Plastic cement-connected removable dentures

The dentures are primarily made of methacrylate resin and are retained by bent wire clasps. The price is low, but the volume is large and the application range is wide.

2Metal casting bracket removable denture

It is generally composed of a metal integral casting bracket and a small amount of plastic. It is more complicated to make and more expensive than plastic glue-attached removable partial dentures. It is sturdy and durable, slightly smaller in size, and has relatively strict indications.

The above is a brief introduction to removable dentures. Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of removable dentures. If you wear removable dentures in daily life, common phenomena such as increased saliva, slurred speech, and nausea are all normal. It takes some time to adapt to these phenomena and then they will disappear.
