Removable dental prostheses: convenience and aesthetics in one

What are modern removable dental prostheses?

Removable dental prostheses today combine high aesthetic quality and ease of care. Currently, there is a huge selection of prostheses of different constructions and materials supplied by different manufacturers.

Types of removable dental prostheses and their indications:

1. Full shooting systems:

• Shown when the teeth are completely lost.
• They consist of a base part imitating the sleep, and artificial teeth fixed on the base.
• Bases can be made of various materials including plastic, metal plastic, and nylon.

2. Plastic Prosthetics:

• Their base is a plate supported by alveolar growths, crustal edge, and solid sky.
• The dental crowns are attached to the base and can be made of different materials.
• Relatively low cost and ease of care – the main advantages.

3. Bullet Prosthetics:

• Includes metal frame, support plate, and artificial teeth.
• The frame contains a saddle supporting the plate with teeth and arcs connecting the structure with the support teeth.
• This type of prosthesis ensures a balanced load distribution and makes chewing more physiological.

4. Immediate Prosthetics:

• Used temporarily before installation of permanent construction.
• One of the most popular species is the “beacon”, which is attached to the neighboring teeth using special clips.

Methods of fixation of removable prostheses:

Full shooting systems:

• Usually fixed at the expense of vacuum and use special gels and glues for greater reliability.
• Can also be mounted using implants and titanium balls connected with magnetic locks.

Bracelet prostheses:

They can have different types of attachments, including lithium support valves, attachments, and telescope crowns.

Removable prosthetics:

• Regular hygienic cleaning twice a day and immersion in disinfectant solution every one to two days.
• Avoid strong tea, coffee, and smoking to prevent yellowing of crowns.
• Avoid abrasive agents for prosthesis cleaning.
• Careful eating, avoiding large pieces of hard and sticky food.

With the correct treatment, removable dental prostheses can serve for many years, providing comfort and confidence in everyday life.
