Clasp prostheses

Clasp prostheses — a kind of removable dentures, which are based on the construction of a metal arc, which provides uniform distribution of the load across the jaw. Surprisingly, few of the patients are aware of the existence of bellowing prosthesis. Although this is a great way to replace the bulky plastic prosthesis.

The lithium metal skeleton of the prosthesis can significantly reduce its volume and thickness, compared with plastic prostheses. Since this type of prosthesis is not widespread, you will probably be interested in learning about its main benefits to understand why more and more people prefer it:

• Clasp dentures are more durable, compared with other dentures.
• Clasp prostheses are easier to use (easier to fix), occupy less space in the mouth.

From this, it follows that they are much more convenient in operation. Since these dentures are removable, there will be no problems with the care of them. To clean the prosthesis is enough ordinary water, artificial teeth can be cleaned with a toothbrush and paste.

The range of artificial teeth is now impressive. To pick them up in shape and color according to natural teeth will not be difficult. Wearing this prosthesis (with micro-lock mount) is completely invisible to others. Most patients who use this prosthesis, indicate rapid adroitness to it. Of course, this is true in the case of a properly constructed prosthesis.

The disadvantages of clasp prosthesis include the fact that with the use of this prosthetic there is an additional load on the supporting teeth. At the same time, in the designs with microcaps, this disadvantage of bellows prostheses is fixed. Also among the disadvantages are the high cost of these dentures. But the advantages of the prosthetic prosthesis justify their price.

Indications for biliary prosthetics:

• Correction of dental defects.
• For the treatment of periodontitis due to reliable fixation of the dentures of moving teeth.

The only requirement for the installation of this denture — the presence of supporting teeth (from two healthy teeth, which can be attached to the prosthesis).

Types of clasp prosthetics

There are two types of clasp prosthesis (depending on the method of fixation): prostheses with a clammer support and a micro-lock fastening.

Clamper support is a method of support using metal hooks. This fastening does not require cutting the supporting teeth. This is a reliable fixation, such a prosthetic will be reliable and durable. The only drawback is that metal hooks are still visible on the teeth.

Micro-mount fasteners have proven toughness to perfection. The technical progress made them even more durable (with proper care, use of the prosthesis can be more than 10 years old), strong, and most importantly — completely invisible to others.
