Complete dentures are normally used in old individuals where all their permanent teeth are lost. They are also removable or fixed. Fixed are done using implants.
Normally 6 implants support each denture. So for both upper and lower jaws 12 implants are needed.
Removable denture sometimes became loose, so implants are placed and the removable denture is made lock to the implant by a snap joint. This makes a removable denture semi fixed and is often very useful to patients.
The procedures Include
- Removable Partial Denture (RPD)
- Flexible Partial Denture (FPD)
- Complete Flexible Denture
- Fixed Partial Denture (Crown/Bridges)
- Implant supported Dentures
