Fixed Denture
A fixed implant denture is a medical device used to replace one or more missing or damaged teeth. This solution is intended for people who are edentulous or have only a few missing teeth. Aside from the aesthetic aspect, the fixed dental prosthesis allows for the restoration of jaw balance. This equilibrium is required to avoid joint or muscle pain, which can affect the entire body.
The implant-supported dentures support the fixed dental prosthesis. The dental implant is a screw that is inserted into the alveolar bone, which is the bone that holds the teeth in place. This artificial dental root provides permanent support for the fixed denture. In contrast to removable dentures, which can be easily removed, fixed dentures can only be removed by a dentist. Removable dentures are available.
Removable Denture
It is possible to improve the individual's quality of life by using dental prostheses. Dental prostheses restore the aesthetics and functionality of the dental structure while avoiding the problems caused by missing teeth.
A removable prosthesis is a dental prosthesis that is removable and repositionable for cleaning and rests on the mucous membranes and gums.
As previously stated, this type of denture is becoming increasingly obsolete. Because they rest on the mucous membrane and the underlying bone, and in some cases are supported by teeth, these tissues cushion some of the chewing forces, resulting in gradual aggression of the bone tissue and its resorption over time, as well as an overload of the teeth.
