The removable dentures, remove and put on, they are an economical option to replace missing teeth, compared with a fixed prosthesis with Dental Implants. However, although they are a good solution, may present some problems and discomfort with them.
Removable dentures, as its name indicates, they can take on and off when you want to. Are supported in the mucosa of the maxilla and teeth healthy that exist.
The movements occur because there is a strong support and fixed. To understand this better, we can compare them with the natural teeth and dental implants. These are fixed to the bone of the maxilla, not to the mucosa and, by this, their support is strong and can tolerate the activity chewing without moving.
To avoid it disengages both a removable dental prosthesis it is possible to use special adhesives for dentures, which provide a bit of comfort.
The life time of a removable dental prosthesis it is much less than that of a fixed treatment with dental implants. Varies according to the care that is taken with the same between 5 and 15 years.
The biggest risk factor in its durability is that you can remove and put on. This could damage easily, to break down and loosen with time.
Its durability will depend on the pressures to which is submitted to the chew, care to remove it and put it and the way in which to perform the hygiene.
When we lose teeth, the space left by the missing tooth has the risk of bone loss. This occurs because the bone in that area loses its function because it does not have a root support and hold on, and begins a process of deterioration or reabsorption. This process we can compare it with our muscles: when we exercise them are reduced.
In the case of a dental implant, the bone of the tooth is lost it remains in good condition and does not occur reabsorption, since it replaces the tooth root and the bone continues to have a function to fulfill.
The retention and stability of the prosthesis you can change the time if you have loss of bone because the gum tissue is pulled back too. You must readjust the prosthesis in some periods of time, and it might be necessary to perform bone grafts with the passage of time.
The other problem that can arise is the loss of healthy teeth that are. This occurs because the removable dentures need to be able to use those teeth to hold it, additional to the mucosa. In this way, all the force when chewing will have an impact on them and to generate trauma over time.
The move, removable dentures can cause irritation and pain in the mucosa and, as mentioned before, discomfort in the teeth healthy.
There may also be excessive salivation, discomfort to speak and eat, feeling mouth full and loss of taste. It can happen because the mouth is very sensitive and a foreign body is taking up a large part of it. This discomfort will pass with time, while the person gets used to it and to keep it in place more fixed.
This type of prosthesis is generally contribute with the bad breath well, not fixed, the food debris accumulate more easily between her and the mucosa. It is essential to make a very good oral hygiene of the prosthesis and of the mouth, after meals and when you remove it in the evening.
It is necessary that the mucosa can rest in the night of the friction and the coupling of the prosthesis. For this reason you should always remove it before sleeping.
Removable dentures they are an option treatment to lose teeth and they are very attractive by their price advantage. Currently, however, there are better treatment options with Dental Implants. Can be more expensive but: can last a lifetime, don't wear out or are damaged, they prevent the bone loss, do not damage healthy teeth and they are very comfortable and aesthetic: work and look like natural teeth.
