HOW ARE FIXED DENTAL IMPLANT BRIDGE PROSTHESIS SUPERIOR TO REMOVABLE PROSTHESIS?
What is a fixed
dental implant bridge prosthesis?
Fixed dental implant bridge prosthesis is employed in
full mouth or partial mouth rehabilitation, wherein the prosthesis is permanently
cemented to restore/replace missing teeth.
What is a
removable dental prosthesis?
Removable dental prosthesis is used to replace missing
teeth and can be removed by the patient as and when required.
What are the
drawbacks of Removable dentures?
Removable dentures are unstable, at times. Also,
primarily, food consumption becomes a major concern. With time, these dentures
lose their fit and have to be replaced.
Bone loss is accelerated due to the forces exerted by the denture,
resulting in loose dentures. Also, due to bone shrinkage, the distance between
the nose and chin reduces leading to deterioration of the facial features.
Moreover, aesthetically this prosthesis is not so
pleasing. The acrylic used to resemble natural gums hardly does justice and the
aesthetics is compromised, resulting in lowered self confidence.
Why dental
Implants?
Dental implants are fixed to the living jawbone,
providing support and hence there is no bone loss. It hardly takes
approximately 4 implants for rehabilitation of the upper/lower jaw. This is
because of the firm anchorage these implants offer. The concern about loose or ill-fitting
denture is eliminated. Also, implants resemble natural teeth, unlike the
removable dentures. Therefore, aesthetics is not compromised, resulting in an
increased self confidence.
Moreover, there is no discomfort while consumption of food.
Thus, their aesthetics as well as function resemble natural teeth.
Generally they last longer than the removable dentures;
frequent replacement is not necessary.
What are the
drawbacks of fixed prosthesis?
The only drawback is that they are little expensive as
compared to removable dental prosthesis.
