Removable dentures adapt to many occasions, ranging from the loss of one
teeth to the remain of only one teeth. If you need dentures and you think it is
unnecessary to implant teeth or fixed dentures, then removable dentures may be a
good choice to start.
Though avoid the necessity of rubbing the abutment teeth when constructing
fixed dentures and cost lower than implant teeth, removable dentures still have
some disadvantages you need to consider. The volume of removable teeth is so
large that may cover a great many of normal tissue, with the consequence of a
twist in your tongue or feeling nausea. Also, food debris and stain are easily
left between dentures and natural teeth or teeth tissues, so you should take off
and wear your dentures, and keep it clean every day, or remaining natural teeth
will be ill someday.
Removable dentures are also available in a variety of materials. Artificial
teeth, base plate, retainer and connector make up removable teeth. Each part can
be manufactured by different materials. The constructing materials of artificial
teeth include two kinds-- acrylic base and porcelain. Base plate can be divided
to metal, acrylic and metal-acrylic. The main structure of casting scaffolding
denture is a metal scaffold casted in whole, and the other parts such as
artificial teeth and base plate adhere to the casting scaffold. Frequently-used
metal materials of casting scaffolding denture are cobalt chromium alloy and
titanium metal. Comparing with casting scaffolding denture, glued connecting
denture is made from methyl methacrylate. The artificial teeth and retaining
clasp are linked as a whole by this kind of plastic base plate.
The material of removable denture fabrication varies in comfort and price.
The standard acrylic base can offer a great health when suitably manufactured,
bringing about a decent level of stability and comfort. Flexible type denture
bases constructed with a layer of flexible resin coating on an acrylic base can
move stability and comfort up to the next level. Soft type denture bases are
made totally from the flexible resin, without the acrylic base material. This
type of removable denture provides the most comfort.
