What material is best for dentures

Teeth are a very important part of the oral cavity. Without teeth, it will be difficult for us to eat. Teeth are composed of gums and teeth. Teeth are replaced once in childhood. After the replacement, the teeth will become very strong. However, some people have very bad tooth quality, and eating sweets on a regular basis will easily cause tooth decay. If the tooth decay is too serious, dentures must be replaced. So what material is better for dentures? Let’s take a look at it together below.

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 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 above article describes in detail what materials dentures are made of. I believe that after reading this, you will have a better understanding of dentures. I also hope that you will take care of your teeth in your daily life, pay more attention to oral hygiene, eat less sweet and greasy foods and foods containing acidic substances, and rinse your mouth with boiled water after meals, which will reduce the occurrence of tooth decay.
