Dentures:
Dentures are lab-fabricated prostheses used to replace missing teeth. They consist of two main categories:
- Removable Dentures: Tisue-born prostheses, which allow the patient remove them, at will, for ease of hygiene care,
- Fixed-removable Dentures (Hybrid): This type of prostheses are fixed (screwed on to dental implants) in place. Patient is not able to remove it. Only dental professional can remove them for care and repair.
Of those two categories, dentures are sub-divided into:
- Partial Denture: to replace some missing teeth in a dental arch,
- Complete Denture: replacing all missing teeth in a dental arch
