Prosthetic Dentures
Prosthetic denture is a traditional dental prosthesis application that is applied in case of complete edentulism. The use of full dentures can be a bit more challenging for patients compared to removable and fixed dentures. The prosthesis is mechanically and physically attached to the soft socket level. This retention is possible with the prosthesis prepared in maximum compatibility with the soft tissue and with the saliva layer.
How Long Does Total Prosthesis Application Take?
In order to apply compatible prostheses, it is necessary to take measurements several times. At the same time, it is possible to transfer the patient’s mouth to the laboratory environment in the most detailed way. Mostly, the prostheses are completely finished within 7 to 10 days. After the prosthesis is delivered to the patients, a few sessions of control are required. Generally, minor bumps and irritations may occur in moving tissues during chewing and use. These knocks can be removed with a few minutes of editing. However, in order to detect the dents, the patients should not remove the prosthesis and continue to use it and come to the control.
What are the Difficulties in Using Prosthetic Denture?
It can be difficult for individuals who have not used a total prosthesis before to adapt to using a prosthetic denture. Because it takes time for both the chewing function to change and the soft tissue to adapt to the prosthesis. It covers the entire palate in the upper jaw and creates a foreign body sensation after a certain period of time.

Can Prosthetic Denture be Applied When There Is Bone Resorption?
These prostheses are supported by bone tissue and soft tissue. It is a method that can be applied even when osteoporosis is present. However, the prosthesis is more likely to move. Loss of bone tissue and volume loss can be observed due to weight loss and advanced age. If an implant is being made, 2 implants in the lower jaw and 4 implants in the upper jaw are placed in order to provide retention to the removable prosthesis and the prosthesis is applied on it.
What is a Temporary Prosthetic Denture Application?
Temporary fixed teeth cannot always be applied until restorations are made in patients undergoing implant treatment. At this point, the quality of the bone and the amount of stabilization when the implants are placed in the bone are decisive. During this process, where patients expect the implant and bone to fully fuse, temporary total prostheses are applied. Thanks to these temporary prostheses, it is aimed to improve the aesthetic appearance and other needs of the patient. Thus, the decrease in the quality of life of the patient is prevented.
