Partial Denture Dental Acrylic Teeth in Dentistry Quick and Easy

What are their Advantages?

Cheapest
Quick and easy to make (though not necessarily to get right)
Easy to change- add teeth, reline etc.
Easiest to take in and out
What are their Dis-advantages?

least comfortable and well tolerated
least stable
least grip (retention)
often bigger and more bulky (unless a single front tooth)
require more muscle control
tend to break more easily
need to cover the palate if teeth are missing on both sides - this affects telling temperature and the chewing experience.
What are Acrylic Dentures?

Acrylic dentures consist of the denture teeth attached to an acrylic base plate.
How they Work?

Stability (not rocking) and retention (grip) come from 3 aspects of the acrylic denture:

The denture fitting closely and tightly against the gums and natural teeth
The use of wrought metal clasps (retainers) to grip the teeth
In cases where only a few teeth remain; a well fitting base plate, covering as much of the hard tissue, (that's the jawbone, palate and ridges) in your mouth as possible.

They are 'mucosal borne dentures'- meaning they get support (resist chewing forces) by sitting on your ridges.

 
Best Situations?

Lots of changes are expected to be needed
As a training denture for wearing a complete denture
Trauma cases- where teeth have been knocked out
Immediate dentures- where a tooth is to be removed as they are most easily relined
Cheapest option needed
As a temporary solution before more extensive and expensive treatment
Where trouble putting dentures in and taking them out is experienced
