Movable Prostheses
Removable dentures can replace all or part of the jaw. They are called removable as they can be easily removed and washed by the patient. Removable prostheses are divided into:
Total denture – A total denture is placed when the patient has no teeth in the oral cavity. It consists of a retaining structure with acrylic resin and resin teeth, which is held to the patient’s jaw. The prosthesis can be removed by the patient and washed.
Partial denture – The partial denture is anchored to the remaining teeth with wire braces. It is composed of an acrylic resin structure and resin teeth.
Skeletal prosthesis – is a partial prosthesis with a metal support structure.
Skeleton prosthesis with attachment – is a mixed prosthesis which consists of pillar elements such as the teeth that are placed in the case, a skeletal prosthesis with metal brackets, which make this type of prosthesis to be stable but also for the patient to have the opportunity remove it and set it yourself.
