What are the types of removable dentures

Every part of the body is very important. Teeth problems are a common phenomenon in our lives. Sometimes pulling out teeth will seriously affect our image and chewing ability. Among them, installing removable dentures is the choice of many people, because removable dentures are easier to clean and cause little damage to the attached teeth. Let's take a look at the types of removable dentures.

What are the types of removable dentures?

Removable dentures are divided into two categories: removable partial dentures and complete dentures. Removable partial dentures are removable dentures that use the remaining teeth and mucosa in the mouth as support and are retained by retainers to repair dentition defects. Patients can also take them off and put them on by themselves. Complete dentures do not have any remaining teeth in the mouth to retain them. Instead, they use atmospheric pressure, suction force, and oral and facial muscles, especially the lip, cheek and tongue muscles, to control the dentures.

The main types of removable partial dentures are:

1) Precision attachment removable partial denture: a restoration that uses various high-precision buttons or locks to fix the removable partial denture to perform the chewing function. More beautiful and stable than clasp-type removable partial dentures.

2) Traditional clasp-type removable partial dentures: Due to different manufacturing materials, they are roughly divided into many varieties, such as bent stainless steel wire (resin) trays, cast stainless steel trays, titanium alloy trays, pure titanium trays, precious metal trays, elastic invisible dentures, etc. Among them, precious metal trays are most suitable for the posterior teeth area, and elastic invisible dentures are more beautiful for repairing the anterior teeth area.

3) Telescopic crown removable partial denture: The telescopic crown is made using the original abutment teeth. Better looking, easier to clean dentures.

There are several types of complete dentures:

1) Covering full denture: The manufacturing materials are roughly the same as those of suction full denture. It is suitable for cases where there are still some teeth or residual roots in the mouth, but the patient does not need, is not suitable for or does not want to have teeth extracted.

2) Traditional suction full dentures: Due to different manufacturing materials, they are roughly divided into many varieties such as (resin) rubber trays, cast stainless steel trays, titanium alloy trays, pure titanium trays, precious metal trays, elastic invisible dentures, non-fragile (resin) rubber trays, etc. Among them, pure titanium butt pads are more comfortable to wear, while non-shattering (resin) rubber butt pads are more beautiful.

Warm reminder: The above is an introduction to the types of removable dentures. Removable dentures have different prices and applicable scopes due to different materials. Therefore, to choose a pair of dentures that suits you, you need to go to a regular hospital for examination and let the doctor make a pair of dentures that suits you based on your specific situation.

The above is an introduction to the types of removable dentures. After understanding them, we can choose according to our oral conditions and tooth damage in our daily lives. In addition, once wearing dentures, we must ensure good oral hygiene and avoid chewing too hard food.
