Lack of teeth is a harm not only to the jaw, but also to the body as a whole. When there is not a single tooth, the distribution of the load is disturbed, and if all the teeth are missing, then indelible damage is caused to the mouth and gums. In this regard, many people are encouraged to immediately go to the dentist for the restoration of teeth. In the absence of complete help comes prosthetics. All options for prosthetic teeth in the absence and the conditions, see below.
With the complete absence of teeth in patients, they may be offered several options for prosthetics. Options prosthetics can be very different. It all depends on the quality of workmanship, the material used and the patient’s wallet. We recommend to consider each option and choose the one that is considered most appropriate to your account. It all starts with economical options, and ends with expensive ones.

One-piece removable denture
This option is the most economical. It is made of cheaper materials: nylon or acrylic plastic. He received popularity because of its ease of use.
The undoubted advantage of such a prosthesis is its cost.
But the disadvantages are much more. These include:
- unreliable fastening. The prosthesis rests solely on the mandibular part due to the vacuum created, and, therefore, when the mouth movesair particles will fall on the denture and the prosthesis may fall off;
- the size. In size, the one-piece denture is quite large. Because of its size, it causes a long habituation of the patient. Diction and taste buds can also be temporarily disturbed;
- fragility. Due to the fact that the prosthesis is made of materials such as acrylic plastic, it is often destroyed. Due to the high loads on the prosthesis, cracks appear, leading to breakage. Plastic denture is simple unable to withstand heavy loads, therefore it constantly breaks. Constantly have to repair it or buy a new one. Is it worth it? The purchase of such a prosthesis will constantly require financial investments.
One-piece removable denture with fastening of spherical abutments (locators)
This option is more improved. Its main difference from the first option is - fixation. It is attached to the gums with special elements. Such a fixation allows you to be in the same place. Fastening elements:
- locator. Fixed to the dental implant;
- plastic matrix. It is fixed in the prosthetic structure itself.
The matrix is fixed on a spherical abutment, which allows the prosthesis to remain in the same place for a long time. At least 2 locators are recommended for 2 implants.
Benefits:
- reliable fastening. By attaching to locators reliable fixing is carried outwhich allows you to stay in place and not move out;
- cost Despite the fact that this design also received a good fixation to the jaws, the pricing policy remains. This variant of prosthetics is the most budget.
Disadvantages:
- fragility. In this embodiment, the mount is already appearing, but its quality does not change. The prosthesis is made of plastic.In the absence of a quality frame, it follows that the prosthesis is short-lived and various kinds of damage are provided to it;
- the size. The size of a removable denture with fixation has sufficient scale dimensions for the oral cavity. Large portions of plastics overlap most of the gums and palate. It will be necessary to get used to such a prosthesis. Be sure to follow the violation of diction;
- chewing load. When chewing almost the entire load is directed to 2 implants, which are the base. Sure to need expert advice and compliance with instructions. Due to the high load there is a risk of being left without bone mass around the prosthetic site.
Removable prosthesis with implant-supported beam
Of all of the above, this option of prosthetics with their complete absence is the most suitable. This is due to improvements in reliability and convenience. For the manufacture of used only high quality equipment. It will take knowledge not only the technique for the teeth, but also the dentist himself. By high technology make the design of the beams, and carried out its milling. Beam fixation has 2 parts:
- beam, which is fixed on the implants;
- matrices of plastic, which are installed in the prosthesis itself.
For high-quality fixation, it is recommended to use at least four implants.
Benefits:
- good mount. Due to the used beam, the prosthesis is securely fastened, which allows it to remain stationary. This mount allows the patient to feel much more comfortable;
- feeling of satisfaction with prosthetics. With girder construction production takes much less plasticand, therefore, most of the gums and palate remain open. Not observed violations of diction and taste buds;
- strength. Metal is used as a framework here, which ultimately testifies to its durability and strength;
- load. In the oral cavity are 4 implant. The whole chewing load is directed at them, which confirms the preservation of the bone around the prosthetic section.
Disadvantages:
- cost Thanks to reliability and quality the patient feels comfortable, but at the same time suffers most of his wallet. The price of such prosthetics in the complete absence is much higher;
- removable design. For proper hygiene, it is necessary to clean the denture at least 2 times a day. By the time it takes no more than a minute.
Fixed prosthesis made of metal-ceramic with implant support
When prosthetics, in the case of the complete absence of teeth, at least 4 implants are mandatory installed. They are the support. Such a prosthesis that does not have to be removed, very convenient and comfortable due to high-quality imitation of real teeth. The fixed prosthesis is made of metal-ceramic. Plastics here you just will not find. Thus, it turns out the most compact and convenient. In the absence of its own gums, ceramics are installed and repainted in the desired natural color.
Benefits:
- convenience. Convenience and comfort lies in the fact that this prosthesis is not removable. As a result, diction is not disturbed, the taste buds work correctly, and the sky and gums are completely open;
- beauty. A fixed prosthesis made of metal-ceramic allows you to get closer to the natural sensation of the teeth. An experienced and qualified professional will make a “Hollywood smile” that no ordinary person can distinguish. Teeth like teeth;
- quality. The frame is made of chrome-cobalt frame, which allows it to be of high quality, durable and durable. This kind of prosthetics will delight for a long time. Fractures and cracks are not inherent.
Disadvantages:
- cost This is not the case when, we can say: quality at an affordable price.The skill level of the dental technician, doctor and expensive equipment dictate a very decent amount. Is it worth it, to decide each individually? Not every person can afford such prosthetics. Especially if this person is a pensioner and his main income is a pension.
- metal. Metal in rare cases may cause a mild allergic reaction and metallic taste on language.
Fixed prosthesis based on zirconia implants
With the complete absence of teeth, this option of prosthetics is the most beautiful, comfortable, innovative, progressive and biocompatible. The strength of zirconium dioxide exceeds even the metal, and, therefore, no taste should not be.
In addition to being durable, almost weightless, so wearing it will be more comfortable and easier. Such a prosthesis is closest to natural teeth. Also teeth zirconia teeth has little transparency and depth. Mount fixed denture based on zirconium dioxide is similar to the fixed prosthesis of metal-ceramic. And the rest is several times better. It really is on all sensations, convenience and naturalness surpasses all other prostheses.
