Some people find it very difficult to believe, but a very large number of elderly people use dentures. They are available and installed in any dental clinic, so why not use them? After all, a rare person lives to old age with good teeth. And there are also removable dentures that are as easy to use as possible. However, the choice of the prosthesis is the one more task. It is complicated by the fact that there are many types of materials from which these prostheses are made. They differ in a variety of characteristics, including cost. It is about the materials from which dentures are made, we will talk first of all.
The main difference between dentures
If you look closely at the many existing dentures, you can see that among themselves they differ in the number of artificial teeth, method of fastening, aesthetics, materials used and many other parameters. However, in the first place, all dentures are divided into removable and non-removable.
You need to understand that a fixed denture will cost much more, because you have to pay extra for its installation. On the same removable you spend less large amount. But such a prosthesis at certain times will cause you a number of inconveniences. It is most difficult to wear such dentures to people at a great age, whose palates are severely deformed, which makes artificial teeth loose on soft tissues.
It should also be remembered that both removable and non-removable dentures from time to time need to be replaced or relocated. This should be done due to the fact that the soft tissues of the palate are constantly under pressure, which leads to their deformation, which prevents tight contact with the material used in the prosthesis.
The best dentures
Partially removable products on a plate basis
Such dentures are created on the basis of a special plastic base, on which artificial teeth are fixed. There are options from both soft and hard plastic alloys. The cheapest option, but far from the best, since such a prosthesis can cause discomfort in the mouth.
Advantages:
- The minimum price (especially for solid plastic products);
- Can be found even in the smallest locations;
- The load is evenly distributed over the entire jaw area;
- Fast manufacturing and installation;
- In terms of care, such dentures are as unpretentious as possible.
Disadvantages:
- Noticeable diction and taste sensations;
- Often there is discomfort in the mouth and even pain.
Reviews of plate dentures indicate that their installation should be decided only in case of an acute shortage of funds. Be prepared for the fact that products made of soft and hard plastics will cause some discomfort. Against this background, you will immediately forget that such a prosthesis allowed saving, as well as its easy operation.
Nylon-based dentures
Products based on nylon have received great advertising support just a few years ago. Such prostheses are flexible, but not perfect. There are plenty of minuses in such products, but many people learn about them only after purchasing and installing a prosthesis.
Advantages:
- For prolonged wear, only Duroplast prostheses are suitable;
- Products do not cause allergic reactions;
- The most hygienic prostheses;
- Elasticity does not damage the prosthesis, dropping it on a hard surface;
- Aesthetics, achieved through transparency;
- Do not need pre-treatment of teeth.
Disadvantages:
- Many dentures are quite afraid of water, absorbing it;
- Not able to distribute the load evenly;
- Gradually accumulate extraneous odors;
- Removable dentures are almost impossible to reline.
Reviews on nylon prostheses show that they have a sufficiently large number of disadvantages. The main one concerns removable models - they are not recommended to be worn on the jaw that does not have at least a few teeth. The fact is that removable nylon prostheses are not amenable to relocation. If the mucosa beneath them is trampled down, then you will have to buy a new prosthesis, or feel a certain discomfort. If a certain number of teeth is present in a person, they will serve as a kind of foundation, as a result of which the soft tissues of the sky will deform much more slowly.
Clasp dentures
Clasp prostheses were invented relatively recently. In a short period of time they gained unprecedented popularity. This is explained by the almost complete absence of discomfort when using such a prosthesis. Also, people like the affordable price.
Advantages:
- There are both removable and non-removable products;
- Unpretentious care;
- Removable dentures can not be removed every night;
- The optimal cost of such products;
- Aesthetic indicators can not be called bad.
Disadvantages:
- It’s very difficult to hide installation traces;
- In some cases, prosthetics are still noticeable;
- The body does not immediately get used to the clasp prosthesis.
Reviews on byugelny dentures suggest that not every body immediately gets used to the metal clamps. It is with their help that the product is installed. But on the other hand, they note the flexibility of the prosthesis, thanks to which it is almost not felt at all in the oral cavity. Also, everyone likes the fact that there are dentures that overlap only those parts of the mouth where there are no healthy teeth. It is not necessary to install such a prosthesis on the entire jaw.
Acrylic Dentures
In favor of an acrylic prosthesis, many people who have contraindications to implant placement make their choice. Also, such dentures are placed in cases where the mouth is completely missing its own healthy teeth. Such prostheses are unparalleled in terms of functionality and aesthetics. It is an acrylic prosthesis that is able to imitate the natural jaw system as accurately as possible.
Advantages:
- There are both partially removable and fully removable dentures;
- Uniform distribution of the load on the jaw system;
- A light weight;
- Simplified operation;
- Very easy and quick installation;
- Contraindications for the installation of the prosthesis are almost completely absent;
- Not the highest cost;
- A wide range of sizes and colors.
Disadvantages:
- Some prostheses use methacrylate, which causes allergies;
- The enamel of healthy teeth is abraded when in contact with acrylic;
- May cause atrophy of the soft tissues of the oral cavity;
- Due to the porous structure of the material, an unpleasant smell may occur.
Reviews of acrylic prostheses show that there has not been a certain list of shortcomings. Such products have a very wide adhesion density, and therefore the sky will feel a constant load.
As a result, it can lead to soft tissue atrophy. But then prostheses on this basis are very easy to maintain. They are also able to please with their diversity - you can choose not only the appropriate size, but also the color of the base.
Fixed dentures
The prostheses described above are often removable or partially removable. But modern medicine is ready to offer non-removable dentures, which have a much greater variety of forms.
In particular, the following are the most common prostheses:
- Dental cantilever and single crowns;
- Implants are one of the most effective and modern developments;
- Microprostheses - these include veneers and tabs.
What dentures to choose
1. This question can not be answered so simply.The fact is that each person has different teeth. And their condition is also quite different. Someone else has a sufficiently large number of healthy teeth, in connection with which prosthetics do not make sense - it is much easier to use an implant or a crown. Other people have very few healthy teeth, but they are still present. In this case, a removable denture is suitable - one of those about which we told today. Well, if healthy teeth are in the past, it is better to consider the option of installing a fixed prosthesis, which can then be used for 10-15 years.
2. As for the materials of which the prosthesis is made, it is they that influence the cost of the product. Also depends on the material, whether you feel discomfort in the mouth. For example, the clasp denture is almost not felt in the mouth, whereas the laminar products cannot be said. But also plate dentures are quite inexpensive, thanks to which they are accessible even to pensioners. And not every person can buy a clasp or acrylic prosthesis.
