Introduction
In general, full dentures can be secured in several ways, with common methods including implantation of artificial tooth roots, the use of dental attachments, or special adhesives. Dental implants involve placing artificial tooth roots into the jawbone to support the teeth. With this method, full dentures can be firmly fixed onto the implanted artificial roots.
In general, complete dentures can be secured through various methods, commonly including dental implants, denture adhesives, and dental attachments. The details are as follows:
1. Dental Implants
Dental implantation is a method that involves inserting artificial tooth roots into the jawbone to support teeth. With this technique, complete dentures can be firmly anchored onto the implanted artificial roots.
2. Using Denture Attachments (Clasps)
Complete dentures are considered removable dentures. If there is insufficient bone volume to support dental implants, traditional removable dentures can be used. These dentures rely on remaining natural teeth in the mouth for support and are stabilized using clasps or other attachment mechanisms.
3. Special Adhesives
Modern technology allows the use of advanced materials in denture fabrication, along with special adhesives to secure the dentures. These adhesives bond the dentures to the oral tissues, providing strong support and stability.
It should be noted that different methods are suitable for different individuals and oral conditions. When choosing a method to stabilize complete dentures, it is important to follow the advice of a professional dentist and carefully consider all relevant factors.
