What are partial dentures ?

Partial dentures or part dentures are used to replace one or more missing teeth.

Partial denture frameworks can be made from lightweight alloys, plastic (acrylic) materials or flexible thermoplastic materials (usually nylon based) such as Valplast and Flexite.

The different types of partial denture bases all have artificial teeth attached, again those teeth are available in several materials; acrylics, porcelain, gold, composite and more recently NHC (nano hybrid composite) materials.

 

 

 We provide High quality Light alloy chrome partial dental plates and frameworks in Vitallium 2000 alloy, ask about partial denture options at your complimentary assessment

 

Metal alloys, flexible clips, precision attachments or dental implants can also be used to provide additional support and grip for a partial dentures.

Correctly designed and fitting partial dentures should be comfortable, and aesthetically acceptable, they should not be considered inferior to other restorative tooth replacement options.

Where possible the clasps or attachments are hidden so that they can't be seen when you smile or talk.

 

Bio-compatible, Hypoallergenic and metal free partial dentures options 

Burnside Denture Clinic is shortly introducing a range of bio-compatible, metal free partial dentures and next generation flexible denture materials that do not require special cleaning products, are more resistant to water ingression/absorbtion and bacterial colonisation.

 

Next generation flexible denture materials, like Bre-flex 2, overcome denture hygiene issues that accompany some flexible denture systems.

 

These partial dentures are also suitable for patients who are hypersensitive to other partial denture materials.

 

If you are experiencing problems with your present flexible denture for example :

 

  • It collects food and staines easily
  • It is producing a pungent odour
  • It requires special cleaning products to maintain

We may be able to help with our next generation flexible materials, Call us for details.

 

 

Burnside Denture Clinic is introducing a range of Metal free, biocompatible partial denture products, including; Bre-Flex, Bio-dentaplast, Bre-crystal, Visio-clear,

 

It is important that you maintain good oral health if you wear a partial denture, by maintaining regular appointments with a Dentist.

Light alloy or cobalt-chrome lightweight partial dentures (tooth supported)

Chrome-cobalt removable partial, also known as light alloy partial dentures.

We consult with patients and Dentists on Chrome partial denture designs, prior to providing treatment, to ensure the best possible treatment outcome.

This helps to ensure that the best design is selected and that the supporting natural teeth are healthy.

 

Skeleton chrome denture and lower chrome overdenture, skeleton chromes can be made smaller and stronger

 

 

Natural teeth provide extra retention for a partial denture and more importantly distribute the loading and stresses of a partial denture through these natural teeth.

Cast partial dentures that rest on natural teeth are referred to as tooth borne partial dentures.

This prevents the denture compressing and damaging delicate tissue structures surrounding those teeth.

Our cobalt-chrtome partial dentures are manufactured in a lightweight biocompatible chrome alloys such as Vitallium 2000.

 

Partial frameworks in light alloy Cobalt-Chrome dentures or the new injectable materials

As well as Cobalt chrome, flexible and bio-compatible materials such as Bredents Biodentaplast, Bre-Crystal, Bre-flex, together with Myersons' Duraflex and Duracetal materials, can also used to make partial denture frameworks.

The denture teeth are then attached to the framework to complete the prostheses, these dentures tend to be stronger and better tolerated than purely acrylic partial dentures and can be designed to fit tightly and securely.

Cobalt- Chrome (CO-CR) dental plates can be designed in various ways to suit individual patients, for example using a 'skeleton' or 'equipoise' design which minimises the amount of tissue the denture will come into contact with.

 

Biocompatible or Hypoallergenic partial denture framework in wax, the white wax material is the sprue through which Bredents Biodentaplast material will be injected, these partial dentures are suitable for patients allergic to conventional denture materials.

 

Chrome-cobalt can also be utilised to reinforce full dentures and be used to strengthen implant retained acrylic dentures.         

Although more expensive, Chrome dentures are considered the partial dentures of choice, for the long term integrity of your remaining natural teeth and overall oral health.

Tooth borne Chrome-Cobalt removable partial dentures require careful design and planning and team approach.

The use of a dental surveyor and master casts are also important in partial denture design.

Sometimes careful preparation or modification of your natural teeth by a Dentist is required to facilitate a successfull tooth borne removable partial denture.

 

Aesthetic tooth clasp, (platsic clip) attached to cobalt chrome partial denture framework, this clip will be almost invisible in the mouth, this clasp was pressed in Breflex flexible denture material, the remaining denture teeth are yet to be added to this partial framework

Major Components of light-alloy or Cobalt-chrome partial dentures

 

Major connector - Joins remote sections of a cast partial denture - should be strong rigid.

 

Functional clasp arm - Metal clip (or materials) that actively engages a natural tooth and holds the denture in place.

 

Reciprocating clasp arm - Metal clip (or other material) that sits passively against a natural tooth on the opposite side to the functional clasp arm, to aid tooth stability and prevent tooth rotation.

 

Occlusal rest - Metal clip that sits on the top of a natural tooth to trasmit biting forces through

these teeth (tooth borne)

 

Mechanical retention -  Sections of a cast partial denture that are designed for the support of artificial teeth and plastics.

 

 

 

Plastic partial dentures (acrylic partial dentures)

Plastic or acrylic partial dentures rest on the soft tissues (gums) and palate of your mouth to provide support for a partial denture.

Although they surround natural teeth, plastic tooth borne partial dentures lack the extra support of their tooth borne counterparts as they do not rest on natural teeth in the right way.

 

During function (chewing and biting) these partial denures are less stable, with a tendancy to displace in the opposite direction to forces applied to them, this can lead to gradual damage to the soft tissues of your mouth and natural teeth.

Acrylic partial dentures occasionally have wrought (made by hand from bent wire) metal clips to help retain the denture.

 

Acrylic partial dentures are cheaper to manufacture and require less sophistication in design and manufacture than cast Chrome-Cobalt partial dentures and are often prescribed and fitted when cost is a consideration.

 

Tissue borne removable partial dentures are often made from acrylic (plastic) materials and are more lilely to fracture under repeated biting.

Flexible partial dentures offer an alternative option to rigid plastic or Chrome partial dentures, materials such as Valplast, Flexite and Sunflex are used, however they are not without there dissadvantages

 

 

Flexible partial dentures
Flexible partial dentures incorporate materials such as Valplast or Flexite and have become popular with many patients due to their flexible and comfortable nature.

The are various branded names for flexible partial dentures; flexite, valplast, Sunflex, but essentially all use a simliar manufacturing process and material.

Flexible partial dentures are manufactured using injection moulded equipment.

 

N.B: Nylon based flexible partial dentures are susceptible to water ingression, bacterial colonisation and require special cleaning solutions to maintain.

Combination or hybrid partial dentures

It is also possible to construct partial dentures using a combination of dental materials.

Valpast and Chrome are one example, where the metal or chrome framework is used to support Valplast and denture teeth.

These dentures require more complex construction and may cost more than conventional partial dentures.

Precision attachments and clear thermoplastic clasps on partial dentures

Occasionally natural teeth that support partial dentures are modified or used to hold the partial denture in place using a variety 'precision attachments' or hidden plastic clasps.

These allow partial dentures to be fitted more securely and also allow for a Chrome dentures to be tooth supported but without visible metal clasps.

 

Light alloy Cobalt chrome metal framework with Bre-flex 2, next generation flexible Clear thermoplastic clasps attached. Picture shows metal framework during production before denture teeth are added.

 

An alternative to precision attachments are aesthetic or tooth coloured clasps, like Bre Flex 2, dental 'd', acetal resin, Visi-clear, Duracetal and Duraflex are all used to produce 'invisible' or 'hidden' aesthetic clasps on partial dentures - See above picture - These clasps will be virtually invisible in the mouth.

These partial dentures could be considered part of the cosmetic denture spectrum.

Are new partial dentures provided with a 'statements of manufacture' or 'conformity statement' ?

Yes, all manufacturers of new partial dentures as registered Medical Devices Manufacturers must issue a statement of manufacture or conformity statement.

Wherever you have your new partial denture provided ask for your conformity statement or statement of manufacture when it is completed.

This will help you identify; where the product was made, the materials used to manufacture it and the quality of device requested on the prescription on your behalf.
