Which better, an absorbent denture or a traditional removable denture?
What are the advantages of an adsorptive denture over a traditional full removable denture?
What is an adsorptive denture?
Adsorptive denture, as a type of restorative denture for full mouth movable restorative denture, mainly relies on the tight fit of the denture abutment to the mucosal tissue of the edentulous jaw, as well as the adsorptive force and atmospheric pressure generated by the edgewise closure, which makes the denture securely adsorbed to the alveolar ridges of the upper and lower jaws.
Among them, according to the different materials, the base tray can be divided into metal base tray and plastic base tray. The thickness of metal abutment is about 0.5mm; the thickness of plastic abutment is usually between 1.5~2.0mm. In order to improve the strength of denture, sometimes metal mesh is chosen to strengthen the plastic abutment.
What are the advantages of adsorptive denture compared with traditional full mouth removable denture?
1、Better edge closure, reducing the difficulty of denture cleaning
Adsorptive denture edge closure area is bigger and deeper, which makes the food residue in the chewing process is not easy to enter the bottom of the denture, improve the cleanliness of the denture, reduce the wearing of denture and easy to patients with the incidence of oral diseases.
2、Stronger adsorption ability, better stabilization
Adsorptive denture closes the edge of denture through mobile mucous membrane and generates negative pressure on the tissue surface, thus increasing the retention force and making the denture more stable and not easy to fall off.
3、Better wearing effect and more convenient to use.
Adsorptive denture can not only effectively restore the patient’s facial appearance, dental function and pronunciation ability, but also wear it comfortably and naturally without foreign body sensation, which greatly improves the patient’s quality of life.
