Features and application of plastic prosthesis
Plastic prosthesis represents a design that is used by patients of different ages.
Full plastic denture
The prosthesis is structured in a structure based on the alveolar process and the body of the jaw.With the loss of all teeth, the basis is made complete, and for the restoration of several units - partial, equipped with clasps, locks, and other fastening mechanisms. According to the manufacturing method they are:
- pressed;
- injection molding.
Pressed production is carried out by compression, but they are of low quality.Injection molds are in great demand.After they are completed, they must be accurately matched to the texture of the oral cavity of the patient.
Among the several positive advantages of using prostheses from plastic, the main ones can be named according to the following characteristics:
- affordable cost that a patient can afford with a small budget for installation of structures;
- aesthetic properties, similarity with natural teeth;
- design is invisible during a conversation, a smile;

- easy to get used in a matter of days;
- the possibility of distributing the load on the gum with a slight pressure on the supporting teeth;
- installation is carried out at a time;
- properties of the material make it possible to manufacture prostheses of any shape, hue, or size;
- the duration of enamel preservation of healthy teeth.In addition to these advantages, plastic prostheses have certain drawbacks, which can be considered as:
Allergy to the plastic prosthesis
- fragility, the average service life does not exceed 5 years;
- inconvenience;
- porosity structure;
- probability of allergic reactions;
- frequent injuries of soft tissues due to the wide area of contact with the gum;
- availability of clasps and other fasteners provoke the development of caries;
- partial loss of taste sensations;
- appearance of unpleasant odor;
- development of various inflammations in the oral cavity;
- with an increased emetic reflex is not recommended;
- impossibility of chewing solid food;
- violation in the first time diction;

The porosity of the material structure can affect the discoloration and appearance of odor from the mouth with improper care of the prosthesis.They can form plaque and a congestion of microbes, which lead to inflammation.Acrylic can cause allergy in some people.At first, you will have to get used to the constructions, in order to eat and talk normally.After 2-3 years of wearing plastic can noticeably darken, so you should choose a better material.
According to experts, the service life is calculated up to three years, but with proper care it is significantly increased and can reach five more years.If there is a slight damage to the material on the prosthesis, it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately.They can also be repaired when the clammers do not cope with their functions, lost their elastic properties.Artificial prostheses are repaired in the course of stiffening, loss of the original form, color change by the material.The price of products is formed strictly individually, taking into account the size, the number of units, the amount of work of the dentist.
