Types of Dentures:

There are usually two types of Dentures which are as follows:

1)      Complete Dentures:

After the removal of the teeth these are made to fit in the mouth in place of the missing teeth after about eighth to twelve months after the gum tissue has been healed. These are the ‘Conventional Complete Dentures while the Immediate Complete Dentures can be fixed in the mouth as soon as the teeth are removed. The advantage of immediate dentures is that the patient doesn’t have to wait for the healing procedure. While a disadvantage of immediate dentures is that during the healing the gums change their shape and so they can only be used until the conventional dentures are made.

2) Partial Dentures

These are used when a lot of teeth are removed and a bridge is fixed over them and crowns are placed on the teeth on either side of the space. So, a partial denture has two advantages:

• Fills in the missing space
• Protects and keeps other teeth in place.
