Denture Prosthesis: restoration of dental function

A denture, or denture, is one of the most common methods of replacing lost teeth. This type of denture can be beneficial for both aesthetic and functional purposes, allowing you to restore chewing and speaking abilities and improve the appearance of your smile.

There are two types of dental arch dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures.

A complete denture, as the name suggests, replaces all the teeth in one jaw. It is usually made entirely of acrylic plastic. The prosthesis consists of a plate that fits tightly to the gums and artificial teeth that are attached to this plate. A partial denture, on the other hand, replaces only some teeth and can be used if the patient still has teeth.

The frame of a denture is often made from a metal such as cobalt chrome because of its strength. It can also be made from other materials such as titanium, nickel or gold.

However, wearing dentures can cause some problems. One of the most common problems is denture sore mouth. This is a type of candidiasis that develops due to insufficiently thorough cleaning of the denture base. Denture hypcrplasia, which is an overgrowth of connective (fibrous) tissue covered by the mucous membrane, may also occur as a result of constant irritation caused by wearing dentures.

To prevent these problems, you need to maintain good oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly. Professionals can help you properly care for your dentures and recommend cleaning products that won't damage the denture materials.

Overall, dentures are an effective way to restore dental function and improve your smile. However, as with any other type of medical intervention, it is necessary to approach it with the utmost seriousness and follow the recommendations of the dentist.

A dental prosthesis (Denture) is a removable replantation of one or more teeth that is placed on a special plate or frame. Complete dentures replace all the teeth in the jaw and are usually made of acrylic resin, while partial dentures are designed to restore normal chewing function by replacing multiple teeth while retaining some of the patient's natural teeth.

The frame of the denture is usually made of cobalt-chromium alloy, which is highly durable and resistant to corrosion. However, if you do not clean the denture base properly, you may experience denture sores, which is a type of fungal infection caused by Candida yeast. In addition, denture hyperplasia can occur when constant irritation from wearing dentures causes excessive growth of connective tissue.

Thus, dentures are an important tool for restoring dentition and improving chewing function. However, improper use and care of dentures can lead to serious complications such as oral lesions and hyperplasia. Therefore, care and prevention instructions must be carefully followed to ensure the safety and effectiveness of dentures.

A dental prosthetic system is an indispensable tool for those people who have lost one or more teeth or want to improve their smile. Dental dentures can be completely removable, partially removable or permanent. The choice of prosthetic system depends on the person’s health status, needs and expectations.
