What are the materials of removable dentures

In our lives, more and more people are always troubled by oral and dental problems. However, in our lives, because we often eat sweets and pay attention to the care of our teeth, it is easy to cause some problems with our teeth. Sometimes we have to extract the teeth. In this way, we need to use dentures to improve this situation. However, there are many kinds of denture materials for us to choose from. Let’s take a look at the materials of removable dentures.

What are the materials of removable dentures?

Precious metals: Mainly represented by gold alloy removable dentures, because it is mainly composed of 80% gold and platinum. Therefore, it has good processing performance and suitable mechanical properties, especially low hardness and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for making full crowns and porcelain base crowns. The bonding strength with porcelain is high, the color-masking effect is better, and the gum edge that contacts the removable denture is not prone to discoloration. But the price is higher.

Non-precious metal type: This type is mainly composed of titanium alloy removable dentures. Because titanium alloy removable dentures have overcome the disadvantage of nickel-chromium alloy removable dentures that nickel ions cause allergic reactions to some human bodies, making them biocompatible while also having good corrosion resistance and suitable mechanical properties. At the same time, titanium has a low specific gravity, which is 1/4 of gold and 1/2 of cobalt-chromium alloy. Therefore, the dentures made from it are very light and it is one of the better developed metal materials at present.

Advantages of removable dentures

Composite resin removable dentures: Composite resin bonded removable dentures are the main type of composite resin removable dentures. This type of removable denture is easy to operate clinically, has strong plasticity, is close in color to natural teeth, is non-irritating to the dental pulp, has good biocompatibility, has strong adhesion to teeth, and can cure quickly at oral temperature. Used for repairing tooth defects and covering discolored teeth with veneers, and also for reconnecting broken teeth and bonding and fixation.

Ceramic removable dentures: Among this type of removable dentures, all-ceramic removable dentures are the most proud. Because everyone should know that the bonding strength between porcelain and porcelain is the best, and the color of ceramics is close to that of real teeth, which can restore the external beauty of teeth to the greatest extent. Moreover, ceramics have good biocompatibility and will not produce any harmful effects on the human body. In addition, the strength and hardness of all-ceramic removable dentures are similar to those of real teeth, and will not cause too much wear and tear on real tooth tissue.

The above is an introduction to the materials used for removable dentures. After understanding this, we know that there are many types of dentures. If we have problems with our teeth, we must go to a regular specialist hospital for treatment in time. In addition, we must pay attention to oral hygiene in our daily lives and avoid eating foods that may irritate our teeth.
