Prosthesis

Dentures are apparatus that are prepared with various techniques and applications, in order to satisfy the aesthetic and functional need of a person, resulting from the loss of teeth or aesthetic deficiencies.

Types of Dentures:

• Fixed Dentures ( crown-bridge like, adhered, aesthetic dentures )
• Mobile Dentures ( that can be taken off and put on)
• Over implant Dentures ( fixed or mobile )

Types of Fixed Dentures:

• Single crowns ( coating of a single tooth)
• Bridges ( covering the missing teeth together with the adjacent teeth)
• Over implant dentures ( a screw placed in the jaw + dentures )

Mobile Dentures ;

• Total dentures ( palates applied to totally toothless mouths )
• Partial dentures (hooked, metal reinforced palates or palates without metal, which are applied to partially toothless mouths)
• Dentures with Sensitive holders (palates without metal and without hooks, which are applied to partially toothless mouths)

The results of not overcoming teeth deficiencies:

• Aesthetic deficiencies
• Eating difficulties
• Talking disorders ( mispronouncing the letters )
• Psychological problems ( shyness, loss of self- confidence, efforts of trying not to laugh, unhappiness )
• Increase in the impairment of mouth health ( displacement, abrasion, decaying and loosening of the teeth)
