Dentures, also known as false teeth, are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth; they are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional dentures are removable (removable partial denture or complete denture). However, there are many different denture designs, some which rely on bonding or clasping onto teeth or dental implants.
Dentures can help patients through:
• Mastication, as chewing ability is improved by replacing edentulous areas with denture teeth.
• Aesthetics, because the presence of teeth gives a natural appearance to the face, and wearing a denture to replace missing teeth provides support for the lips and cheeks and corrects the collapsed appearance that results from the loss of teeth.
• Pronunciation, because replacing missing teeth, especially the front, enables patients to speak better. • Self-esteem, because improved looks and speech boost confidence in the ability to interact socially.
Types Removable partial dentures Removable partial dentures are for patients who are missing some of their teeth on a particular arch. Complete dentures Complete dentures are worn by patients who are missing all of the teeth in a single arch.
