Types of Prostheses and Ease of Use
Fixed prostheses (bridges or implant-supported crowns) are cemented to the teeth or screwed in by the physician; the patient cannot remove them themselves, and they give the feeling of natural teeth. Removable (denture / palate) prostheses, on the other hand, are prostheses that the patient can remove from their mouth on their own while sleeping at night or for cleaning, and are generally applied to those missing a large number of teeth.
It is a system applied to completely edentulous patients (patients with no teeth) to solve the problem of removable palate prostheses shifting or falling out. 4 or 6 implants (screws) are placed in the jaw, and the full jaw prosthesis is fixed onto these screws. The patient can comfortably bite everything as if they had their own natural teeth.
When new removable prostheses are fitted, it is normal to experience sore spots, increased saliva, differences in speaking, and difficulty chewing for the first few weeks. It takes time for the tongue and cheek muscles to adapt to the new situation. With minor abrasive touch-ups made by the physician, the patient quickly adapts to the prosthesis.
