Principle |
Uses the elastic arm of a clasp entering the undercut area of the abutment tooth to prevent dislodgement |
Made from elastic polymer materials; retention is achieved through the elasticity of the denture base |
Adhesive dentures achieve retention through special design and materials that utilize atmospheric pressure and adhesion |

Potential Risks |
1. Loose or displaced denture |
1. Material aging |
1. Reduced adhesion |
Factors influencing price:
1. Extent of tooth loss: The greater the number of missing teeth, the more dentures are required, leading to higher costs.
2. Manufacturing technique: Dentures made with precision techniques are significantly more expensive than those made with standard methods.
3. Regional differences: Prices in economically developed regions are generally higher than in less-developed areas.
It is recommended to choose the appropriate type of removable denture based on individual needs and professional dental advice. Initial discomfort may occur and requires an adjustment period. If looseness or pain develops after fitting, prompt follow-up with your dentist is advised.
