Removable dentures are prosthetic methods to replace one tooth, many teeth or all missing teeth. Along with implants and bridges, this is one of the solutions to improve chewing function, especially for the elderly. There are two types of removable dentures: removable plastic jaws and removable frame jaws
REMOVABLE PLASTIC JAM
Removable plastic dentures are a classic restoration method to replace many teeth or all lost teeth when the patient does not want to grind teeth or implant implants. Removable plastic dentures have a function and aesthetics that are relatively similar to real teeth and are often indicated for elderly patients.
- The patient lost one or more teeth or lost all teeth
- Patients who have lost 3 or more teeth do not want to do bridges or implant dental implants
- The patient is appointed by the doctor to combine Implant in case of loss of all teeth, removable jaws on round (ball) implant posts.
FRAME REMOVAL HANDLING
Frame jaw is a semi-removable prosthetic whose main part is a metal frame, the entire alloy structure of the frame (hook, saddle, connecting rod) is cast together into one block and the replacement teeth are attached to the acrylic resin prosthetic saddle.
- Loss of teeth alternating with tooth loss is too long to make a permanent restoration
- Loss of posterior teeth and no longer limited distal teeth
- Missing teeth on one side of the jaw.
- Some patients with missing teeth are prescribed fixed restorations but do not want to grind their teeth.
