What is the function of the dentures?

What are the types of dentures?

There are multiple types of dentures to solve different dental problems listed below:

• • Full and partial removable dentures,
  • Porcelain fixed dentures with or without metal support,
  • Immediat prostheses installed after tooth extraction,
  • Prostheses made on natural tooth roots (Overdenture),
  • Prostheses made for the purpose of eliminating soft and hard tissue losses on the chin and face (maxillofacial),
  • It is in the form of prostheses applied to people who have the habit of clenching or grinding teeth.

Removable Dentures: 

These types of prostheses have a feature that allows the patient to attach and remove their prostheses. Removable prostheses continue their functions by taking support from the soft tissues in the mouth as well as the intact teeth in the mouth. They are a type of prosthesis that can be made in accordance with the needs of the patient and the number of missing teeth, as well as in cases where all teeth are missing.

Partial Dentures:

It can be put on and removed by the patient himself/herself. Partial prosthesis, also defined as partial prosthesis, provides functionality as well as an aesthetic appearance when replaced by lost and missing teeth. Partial dentures are mostly made of acrylic and one-piece cast. It is attached to existing teeth with crochet wires. A precision-fitting aesthetic prosthesis can be applied to hide the wire appearance.

Immediat Protheses:

Immediate prostheses, also known as temporary prostheses, are applied to eliminate the aesthetic anxiety caused by extracting natural teeth. When the teeth are first pulled, swelling occurs in the oral tissues. It is necessary to wait for these tissues to return to normal before a permanent prosthesis is made. During this process, the patient’s permanent prostheses are also prepared. With the completion of tissue healing, immediate prostheses become incompatible with the mouth and permanent prostheses are applied to the person.
