Technology features

For the manufacture of such removable structures used flexible material, namely dental nylon. Due to its basic characteristics, this type of plastic is ideal for modeling dentures.

  • Nylon is ductile and malleable, which guarantees easy fixation of the prosthesis in the oral cavity. In addition, the patient is almost not experiencing discomfort.
  • The material is chemically inert, so that its basic properties remain even after repeated contact with hot and cold food. In addition, nylon prostheses, the price of which is quite affordable, do not absorb odors and do not stain, and are also hypoallergenic.
  • In the process of manufacturing the product, you can pick up any shade that would match the color of the gums and the patient's teeth.
  • Nylon has light transmitting characteristics as well as living tissue of a tooth. Thanks to this, an artificial smile will remain natural in any light.

Indications

  • The absence of two or more teeth, which may be front, outer or lateral.

  • No allergies. When installing nylon dentures you can not be afraid of allergies, because in the design there are no metal compounds. Accordingly, the material will not cause redness and itching.
  • Reliable fixation. In particular, this concerns the establishment of a structure in the absence of small areas of teeth.
  • The ability to use people who are engaged in extreme sports.

Other benefits include ease of care, durability and affordable price.

disadvantages

  • Disadvantages of nylon prosthesesIf you use a removable nylon prosthesis to restore the dentition of one or both jaws, then bone atrophy will happen much faster. This is due to the fact that due to the elasticity of the material, a uniform distribution of the load during chewing is impossible. Accordingly, the prosthesis will have to be changed frequently or use additional means for more reliable fixation. It should be noted that there is no such deficiency in partial structures made of nylon.
  • When restoring end defects, the removable prosthesis is fixed using the clasp for the adjacent abutment tooth. However, due to the nature of the material, the pressure is not well transmitted, which means that the structure can sag. As a result, the fastener can damage the mucous membrane and cause unpleasant sensations. To solve this problem, it is necessary to pass the preference of the product with a locking mount.
  • Proper regular dental hygiene is necessary, because the inner surface of the structure is rough, because of which a significant amount of bacteria and food particles are constantly accumulating on it. Therefore, the nylon prosthesis must be cleaned every day as well as rinsed. For these purposes, it is best to purchase a special ultrasonic bath.

Making Nylon Dentures

The creation of such a removable nylon construction is carried out in several stages. To the finished product does not bring discomfort, it must be made taking into account the individual characteristics of each patient. It is important to use the appropriate equipment and quality materials.

Stages of prosthetics:

  1. Examination of the oral cavity, as well as dental treatment if necessary.
  2. Removal of the impression of both jaws.
  3. Preparation of the plaster and wax model, which is a model of the future removable denture.
  4. Fitting the model with the subsequent elimination of various errors.
  5. Casting nylon prosthesis using thermal press.
  6. Polishing.
  7. Final check and, if necessary, adjustment.

Care of the prosthesis

Prostheses and their careNylon Removable Denture has a lifespan of about 7 years. The durability of the product is increased under the condition of daily proper care. So, the prosthesis must be cleaned of plaque, germs and food particles. After each meal, the product is gently rinsed under running water. Periodic bathing is also recommended, which will help preserve the original characteristics of the material.

When wearing a partial denture is best to get special brush, thanks to which you can remove plaque from a rough surface and edges.

Cleaning products using whitening substances is prohibited, because it will negatively affect the shade of the teeth and the texture of artificial gums.

It should be remembered that the teeth in the prosthesis are quite fragile in contrast to the base, therefore, if the design accidentally falls into the sink or on the floor, inserted teeth may be damaged.

Cost of

Any patient is interested in the question of how much nylon dentures cost. The cost of the finished product depends on a number of factors. The approximate amount is called at the first consultation after the inspection, but over time the price may be changed.

The price for a partial construction, provided that you have your teeth, will be 20-30 thousand rubles. If you need to install a dental microprosthesis for a couple of teeth, you will have to pay at least 15 thousand rubles.
