Many people will install dentures when they have problems with their teeth and have to have them removed. However, there are many types of dentures, which can be adjusted according to different groups of people. Let's take a look at the types of removable dentures.

What are the types of removable dentures?

1. Removable partial denture:

It is a removable denture that uses the remaining teeth and mucosa in the mouth for support and is retained by retainers to repair tooth defects. The patient can also take it off and put it on by themselves.

Removable partial dentures include:

1. Traditional clasp-type removable partial dentures: Due to different manufacturing materials, they are roughly divided into many varieties, such as bent stainless steel wire (resin) trays, cast stainless steel trays, titanium alloy trays, pure titanium trays, precious metal trays, elastic invisible dentures, etc. Among them, precious metal trays are most suitable for the posterior teeth area, and elastic invisible dentures are more beautiful for repairing the anterior teeth area.

2. Precision attachment removable partial denture: a restoration that uses various high-precision buttons or locks and other accessories to fix the removable partial denture to perform the chewing function. More beautiful and stable than clasp-type removable partial dentures.

3. Telescopic crown removable partial denture: The telescopic crown is made using the original abutment teeth. Better looking, easier to clean dentures.

2. Complete dentures:

Since there are no remaining teeth in the mouth to retain the denture, atmospheric pressure, suction force, and oral and facial muscles, especially the lip, cheek and tongue muscles, are used to control the denture.

Complete dentures include:

1. Traditional suction full dentures: Due to different manufacturing materials, they are roughly divided into many varieties such as (resin) rubber trays, cast stainless steel trays, titanium alloy trays, pure titanium trays, precious metal trays, elastic invisible dentures, non-breakable (resin) rubber trays, etc. Among them, pure titanium butt pads are more comfortable to wear, while non-shattering (resin) rubber butt pads are more beautiful.

2. Covering full dentures: The manufacturing materials are roughly the same as those of suction-type full dentures. It is suitable for cases where there are still some teeth or residual roots in the mouth, but the patient does not need, is not suitable for or does not want to have teeth extracted.
