What material is good for dentures

Dentures are artificially created simulated teeth, which are made of low-grade, medium-grade and high-grade materials. Using modern medical methods, dentures are transplanted into the gums in the human mouth to regenerate teeth and solve the oral problems of patients with dental diseases. Dentures of different materials have different prices and service lives in the mouth, so what material is best for dentures? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

The materials used to make dentures can currently be divided into two categories: metal and non-metal. Metal materials include pure gold and alloys. Alloys such as cobalt-chromium alloy, nickel-chromium alloy, copper alloy, etc. The stainless steel wire commonly used to make denture clasps is a forged alloy. Metal materials are mainly used to make denture clasps, supports, connectors and other supports, as well as various metal crowns and pads. The non-metal materials used to make dentures are mainly plastics. For example, methyl methacrylate is divided into two types: heat-curing thermosetting plastics and room temperature-curing self-curing plastics.

The ideal denture repair material should be non-toxic, non-irritating, non-carcinogenic to the oral mucosa, not cause allergic reactions to the tissue covered by the denture, be insoluble in saliva, not corroded or denatured by the oral environment, be resistant to biological aging, have stable performance during changes in oral temperature, and be harmless to operators during the production process.

In addition, it should also strive to be beautiful, durable, light, easy to process, simple to operate, easy to obtain materials, and low in price. The materials used to make dentures can currently be divided into two categories: metal and non-metal. Metal materials include pure gold and alloys, such as cobalt-chromium alloy, nickel-chromium alloy, copper alloy, etc. The stainless steel wire commonly used to make denture clasps is a forged alloy. Metal materials are mainly used to make denture clasps, supports, connectors and other brackets, as well as various metal crowns. The non-metallic materials used to make dentures are mainly plastics, such as methyl methacrylate, which is divided into two types: heat-curing thermosetting plastics and room-temperature curing self-curing plastics. Commonly used non-metallic materials include composite resins and ceramics. Plastics and composite resins can be widely used in making crowns and bases (commonly known as dentures) for dentures, and can also be used as materials for modifying dentures. Porcelain teeth are mainly used to make crowns.

The above materials each have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, plastic is easy to make, modify, and use, but it is not wear-resistant. Porcelain teeth have good wear resistance, but they are not firmly bonded to the base, are easy to fall off, and are difficult to modify. When making dentures, the choice of preservation materials and restoration methods should be determined by the physician based on the patient's oral conditions, patient requirements, material properties and medical technology status.

The above article describes in detail what materials are good for dentures. When installing dentures, you must first ensure that the material is clean and hygienic, so that oral bacteria are not easily bred in the mouth. In addition, after installing the dentures, you must pay attention to regular mouthwash and brushing to keep the dentures clean in the mouth. After eating sweets and sticky foods, remember to use clean water to rinse your mouth to keep the dentures clean and hygienic.
