In the complete absence of teeth, removable or non-removable prosthetics can be used.

What dentures to install with full adentia are decided by the dentist, given the condition of the alveolar processes and gums.

Today, thanks to modern technology, there is the possibility of a wide selection of orthopedic designs that can restore completely missing teeth.

A complete removable denture is made in the complete absence of teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Removable dentures in the complete absence of teeth can rest either on the gum, and on the upper jaw - and on the sky, or on mounted implants.

Removable prosthetics on the entire jaw can be performed using the following types of structures:

• Full removable dentures made of plastic.
• Removable nylon designs on the entire jaw.
• Partially removable (covering) dentures.
• Clasp prosthetics on implants.

Plastic dentures

Removable acrylic plastic structures are held onto the gums by suction.

• In this regard, prostheses are very unreliably fixed in the oral cavity, causing their owner a lot of inconvenience.
• In addition, such prostheses are unaesthetic.
• Designs poorly withstand significant chewing loads.
• The service life of acrylic dentures is no more than 5 years. With significant bone resorption, structural replacement may be required much earlier.

The main advantage of acrylic dentures is their relatively low cost.

Soft nylon designs

Dentures are made of nylon. The designs are quite flexible and have excellent aesthetics.

The disadvantage is the lack of ability to restore chewing function. In addition, the fixation of removable dentures made of nylon is not reliable.

Removable implant-supported dentures

Designs designed for fixation on implants can have one of the types of fastening: push-button or beam.

1. With a snap-type lock, the removable prosthesis is fixed on a 2-4 mini-implant with spherical attachments. At the same time, silicone matrices, which act as a fixing mechanism, are inserted into the body of the removable structure.
2. When the prosthesis is fixed on the beam, a metal beam is installed between 2-4 implanted implants, which is connected to the structure by fixing it in a silicone matrix.

Clasp prostheses

To attach the clasps to the jaw, implantation of supporting structures is required.

Clamping system for clasp structures can be of three types:

• Mounting with clasps (metal hooks) - clasp mount.
• Fixing the removable structure with attachments (micro-locks), which are installed on implanted implants.
• Fastening the prosthesis on telescopic crowns. Primary crowns are installed on implanted implants, and secondary ones are installed in a removable design. When putting on a removable prosthesis on implants, it is firmly fixed in the oral cavity.

According to most dentists, the most comfortable, durable and aesthetic are clasp and cover structures.

Cost

• The prices of dentures depend, first of all, on what material the dental structure will be made of. Domestic material is cheaper than imported material.
• The cost of manufacturing is affected by the fact of having your own laboratory.
• In large dental clinics, there may be all kinds of discounts that can offer the patient as a bonus.
• The price of the prosthesis also depends on its individual characteristics.
• You can reduce the cost of a nylon prosthesis if you choose an acrylic design instead. Externally, acrylic and nylon are no different. The only difference is that nylon prostheses are made abroad, and plastic ones in our country.

At the same time, the cost of removable structures, in comparison with implantation, is very affordable.

With a complete absence of teeth, it often does not matter how much the prosthesis costs, the main thing is to restore the chewing function and preserve the aesthetics. But, when implantation is not possible, acrylic and nylon structures are able to solve these problems.

Denture	Price (in rubles)
One-jaw removable acrylic prosthesis	From 8000
Clasp clasp design	From 20,000
Clasp prosthesis on two micro-locks	From 80,000
Full removable nylon prosthesis	From 25000

 

Reviews

Before deciding on the choice of design for prosthetics, it would be nice to ask the opinion of those people who installed removable dentures. But you should not fully rely on their reviews, since the feelings of each person are individual. When choosing a prosthesis, it is also necessary to take into account the features of each type of denture.

• If we talk about nylon prostheses, then the reviews on them are very contradictory. Doctors are satisfied with nylon prostheses, since they are very light, aesthetic, strong enough and never break, while patients can not always get used to them.
• Acrylic prostheses have good patient reviews. Patients are often satisfied with them and call them affectionately “suction cup prostheses”.
• Clasp constructions are also endowed with rather positive reviews. Patients note that they are more comfortable than nylon and plastic prostheses. With such a prosthesis, it is more convenient to take food and it does not violate diction. The only drawback is that the designs are noticeable during a conversation.
• A better option, according to patients, is to mount the removable structure with locks. But this requires the presence of supporting teeth in the oral cavity.

Here's what the owners of removable dentures themselves say:

• I lost all my teeth. In recent years, she wore a removable plastic prosthesis. The design constantly slid off during meals and during conversation. The dentist advised installing implants on the upper and lower jaws to fix a removable prosthesis on them. Conducted a survey. Then, mini implants were installed on the button mounts. Implant implantation was successful without complications. A cover prosthesis was fixed on the implants. I am very pleased. The prosthesis is comfortable and looks very aesthetically pleasing.
• I have no teeth on the lower jaw. I really wanted to install implants, but since I have been suffering from diabetes for many years, it turned out that dental implants are contraindicated. They made a removable denture made of plastic on the entire jaw.The construction was inexpensive, it is convenient to use the prosthesis during meals and when talking.
• Missing teeth on the upper jaw. I used a removable denture for several years. It was uncomfortable to talk and eat, because the structure constantly fell out of the mouth. I went to the dentist about this problem. The doctor suggested prosthetics on implants. Six implants were installed in the upper jaw, and then a removable structure was made. The denture can be removed for hygienic cleaning.
• For many years I used an acrylic denture. Which became unsuitable for further use. The dental clinic advised to implant mini implants. After the operation, a removable denture was immediately fixed to me. Using the prosthesis is very convenient and also the aesthetics are excellent.
