 FIXED PROTHESIS A fixed prosthesis is cemented to the natural teeth previously eroded. These can be made of porcelain on metal or metal free. They are both cosmetic and functional. They cannot be removed by the patient. These can be individual crowns or bridges of three or more units supported by natural pillars. REMOVIBLE PROTHESIS The removable prostheses are designed to be removed by the patient and can be either complete or partial. The complete removable prosthesis, commonly called plates or dentures, are utilized by patients with an absence of all teeth. A partial removable prosthesis is for patients with partially toothless arches with remaining bone structure (holding itself to teeth and the gums). These are manufactured from metal, acrylic, nylon (flexible) or combined. DENTURES The dentures are false teeth that are done to replace the teeth that are lost. They can be complete or partial. The complete denture covers the dental upper or lower jaw. |
