There are many ways to replace tooth loss, both single and multiple missing teeth. These include onlays, crowns, veneers, bridges, crown-root inlays, implants as well as partial and complete dentures. Thanks to prosthetics it is possible to restore damaged or lost functions of the masticatory organ, improve the aesthetic appearance of the face and prevent changes in the temporomandibular joints, malocclusion and periodontal diseases.
One type of removable dentures are skeletal dentures. Skeletal dentures offer patients greater stability, which is reflected in greater comfort in daily life.
The comfort of functioning is also influenced by the design of skeletal dentures - they are relatively small, so the daily activities for which it will be used will be easier to perform compared to traditional overdentures. Additionally, this type of denture looks very natural, which has a positive impact on the patient’s mood. Skeletal dentures are designed for patients who still have some of their teeth. As an option, it is worth considering the use of dental implants to stabilize the denture.
Today, technology offers a new material from which dentures are made - a strong and very light acron.
Thanks to its properties, it is increasingly popular and is replacing the previously used nylon dentures. The plates made of it have many special features, noticed especially by those who previously used traditional dentures. Opinions about the acron dentures are mostly positive.
Advantages of this material include, but are not limited to:
- high strength, which prevents fractures or breaks of the denture,
- low weight and thickness,
- possibility to limit the size of the plate,
- flexibility to protect against gum injuries, nicks and scratches on enamel,
- possibility of adjusting the color in such a way that the denture imitates the patient's natural teeth as closely as possible,
- biocompatibility - no allergens that can cause sensitization and allergic reactions,
- no clearly visible metal clamps,
- color stability for many years of use,
- resistance to high temperatures.
