FLEXIBLE DENTURES AND COMPLETE DENTURES
Flexible Dentures
Flexible dentures are a type of partial denture made from a flexible, lightweight material, typically thermoplastic resins such as nylon or a polymer blend. These dentures are known for their comfort and adaptability.
Features of Flexible Dentures:
Comfortable Fit: The flexible material conforms to the contours of the mouth, which often results in a more comfortable fit compared to traditional dentures.
Aesthetic Appeal: Flexible dentures have a natural look because the material can be made to blend with the gum color, making the dentures less noticeable.
Durability: The material used in flexible dentures is resistant to breakage and less likely to crack under pressure. This makes them a long-lasting option.
Ease of Adjustment: Flexible dentures are easier to adjust and fit better in cases where the shape of the gums might change over time.
No Metal Framework: They do not require a metal framework, which can be more aesthetically pleasing for some patients.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are designed to replace all of the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw or both. They are generally made from acrylic resin or a combination of acrylic and metal for added strength.
Features of Complete Dentures:
Full Replacement: Complete dentures provide a full set of teeth, restoring both function and appearance for individuals who have lost all their teeth in one or both jaws.
Custom Fit: They are custom-made to fit the contours of the gums and mouth, ensuring that they stay in place and function effectively.
Variety of Materials: Complete dentures can be made from various materials, including acrylic and metal, allowing for customization based on the patient’s needs and preferences.
Adjustable: They can be adjusted and relined as the shape of the mouth changes over time, ensuring a comfortable fit.
