A removable denture is a removable dental prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. It can be used when there is partial or complete tooth loss. It is the most traditional type of prosthesis to replace missing teeth with the benefits of convenience and relatively inexpensive, but they are not very stable and uncomfortable to wear.
There are two types of removable dentures: complete and partial dentures. Complete denture is used when all teeth are missing in one arch, while partial denture is used when some teeth are missing in one arch.
Different materials are available for the construction of removable denture, for example: acrylic, metal-acrylic. The choice of material for removable dentures has a great impact on wearability and comfort, and each material has its own advantages and applications.
Indications:
• One, several or full arch teeth missing
• Those who want to avoid invasive treatment
• Those who want to have relatively inexpensive treatment
• In some particular situations where dental implant or dental bridge
are not possible
