Description

Complete Denture and removable partial denture are two techniques to replace teeth using acrylic resin plate with the support of existing natural teeth and adjacent tissue structures. WHAT IS A COMPLETE DENTURE? A complete denture is a prosthesis for the replacement of the upper and lower natural teeth with acrylic teeth and a heat cure resin acrylic denture base for a person who has lost all their teeth. Dentures use the existing natural jaw bone, the ridge, to support the artificial denture. It is one of the oldest treatment modalities for teeth replacement and dates back over 250 years. WHAT IS A REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE? A denture used to replace one or more artificial teeth with cast metal, titanium, or, more commonly, an acrylic denture base is called a removable partial denture (RPD) or Temporary partial denture (TPD). Partial dentures are very economical.
