Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues. There are two types of dentures—complete and partial dentures. Dentists use complete dentures when patients have a full row of teeth missing, while partial dentures are used when a few natural teeth are present.

Dentures are also made from two kinds of materials: acrylic and thermoplastic. While acrylic dentures are firmer, most patients tend to have an allergy to the material. This is where Karadent thermoplastic dentures come in. 

A thermoplastic denture (partial or full) is a type of dental prosthetic made from a flexible, biocompatible heat-sensitive plastic resin that can be molded to fit your mouth. This type of denture has many benefits over traditional partial dentures, including being much more comfortable and virtually invisible when worn.

Advantages

When choosing the best denture to replace your missing tooth, there are several considerations. The cost of this denture may be slightly higher than a conventional acrylic/metal partial denture, but the results are worth the investment.

• The thermoplastic denture has many advantages over the traditional partial denture. For one, they are more flexible and stronger and have been shown to last longer than traditional partial dentures. It does not absorb odors or stains and is more stable in dimension and color. It also has high resistance and excellent wear characteristics.
• A thermoplastic partial denture is made of an ultra-thin material, making it more aesthetically pleasing than a conventional metal/acrylic partial denture. Its flexibility also allows for more variety in the design of the clasps.
• Karadent™ technology is a new type of dental appliance made from a combination of nylon and acrylic. This makes the appliance much stronger and more durable than other dentures. Patients no longer have to worry about their dentures breaking because of the following features:
• This polymer is semi-rigid, meaning it is not as hard as a rigid material but not as soft as a flexible material. It is often used in dentures, clear clasps, frameworks, and nightguards because it is easy to work with and provides a good fit.
• Pleasing aesthetics.
• Better fit and zero volume shrinkage.
• Resistance to water absorption.
• This polymer is quick and easy to use and leaves a nice, polished finish like acrylic.
• Repairability means that if the thermoplastic denture breaks, it can be easily repaired using an acrylic fusing liquid.

Determining the Proper Dental Solution

Wearing dentures most of the time is ideal. They are less invasive than dental implants and more affordable. You should choose the most comfortable option depending on your oral health and budget.

• A bridge may be the most practical application for one to two teeth.
• For molars: A bridge also works in this instance.
• For upper or bottom front teeth: Thermoplastic dentures will work here since they don’t chew or interact with other materials as much.
• For one or two back molars: An implant-supported or partial denture will work. 
• For several teeth: Dentures, whether implant-supported or not.
• For most or all teeth: Flexible or implant-supported dentures are best.

In Closing
