Dentures with suction cups - advantages and disadvantages

Dentures on the new technologyDo not despair if the teeth are in poor condition, because modern dentistry offers a variety of types of prosthetics. Even if the teeth do not remain and the false jaw is not attached to anything, prostheses on suckers can help out.

Removable structures in the mouth are fastened in different ways, which requires at least one real tooth. But if the teeth are not left at all, then install the implants on which the plates are attached.

New technologies allow fix dentures in a more gentle wayusing suckers. The design is made of elastic material, completely repeating the relief gum. Suction occurs due to the fact that a vacuum effect is created between the mucous membrane and the structure. Are used dentures on suckers, not only with the complete loss of teeth, but also in their partial absence.

What do dentures on suckers do

  1. What does a suction prosthesis look like?Acrylic construction completely imitate the appearance of the gums and teeth, performing all the functions of a real jaw. Acrylic was created in the thirties of the last century. Prostheses are made from it by injection molding. Such designs are durable, simple and inexpensive. but Acrylic dentures have many disadvantages, because of which this material has been used less frequently in prosthetics:
    • Contains acrylic methyl ether, which is poisonous and, once ingested, often causes allergies.
    • Due to the porous structure of the plastic microorganisms settle in it. As a result, an unpleasant odor and inflammatory processes occur in the mouth.
    • The material is not resistant to mechanical stress.
  2. Replaced acrylic nylon. Dentures from it are more elastic, stick better, do not injure the gums and tolerate large chewing loads. You can even install them on weak gums. Nylon is hypoallergenic, and designs from it last longer than from acrylic.
  3. Polyurethane Tooth Constructions were invented by Russian scientists. They called the new material - dentalur. In many ways, it is better than imported counterparts. Polyurethane designs do not injure the gums, are durable, but at the same time they are flexible in order to stick to high quality. Dentalur is non-hygroscopic and, thanks to this, there is no bad smell in the mouth.

Since the material is made in Russia, the price of products made from it is lower than that of nylon, and the quality is higher.

Virtues

  • Virtue of artificial limbsHigh aesthetics. The designs exactly repeat the color of the gums' mucous membrane and the shape of the sky.
  • When using do not cause discomfort.
  • Flexible design in the process of chewing does not injure the mucous membrane of the mouth. And since the teeth themselves are hard enough, you can chew even the meat properly.
  • Prostheses made of plastic materials are well attached to the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and therefore comfortable to use. During chewing food construction does not move.
  • Quick and painless addiction to dentures on suckers.
  • To install the structure do not grind adjacent teeth, which tightly wraps its elastic part, without damaging the enamel.
  • The cost of prostheses on suckers is quite small.

disadvantages

  • Some materials used to make suction cup designs can cause allergies.
  • Structures have poor mechanical strength.If there are no problems with chewing food, then it is better not to nibble crackers and nuts. Viscous foods should also be avoided.
  • With perfect care, the lifetime is only about three years.
  • Due to the uneven separation of the load, the atrophy of the jaw bone tissue is significantly accelerated.
  • According to patients, the design is not very convenient to care for.
  • Dentures on suction cups are not securely attached to the lower jaw.

Indications and contraindications

  • It is recommended to use in the absence of teeth due to their removal, illness or injury.
  • Contraindications are temporary. For example, inflammation of the oral mucosa.

Care and storage

Caring for removable designs is easy.

  • After eating the mouth should be rinsed with water.
  • After removing the denture, it is cleaned with a toothbrush and toothpaste, and then placed in a special solution.
  • If necessary, you can use floss (dental floss).

With proper care for suction-cup designs, it is possible to avoid complications from their use and extend the service life.

Prices

  • Pros and cons of denturesThe cost of construction on suckers depends on the prices of procurement material for a set of teeth, fixtures, gingival parts and auxiliary materials.
  • The cost of an acrylic denture is lower than that of nylon.
  • The price of the design depends on the individual characteristics of the prosthesis.
  • For each patient individually, you can choose the appropriate option for the price, which allows a variety of materials.

To ensure that the denture has a long service life, the patient should take a medical examination twice a year. In this case, the average service life of the structure will be from five to seven years. It should also be borne in mind that any prosthesis requires correction.
