What's the difference between dentures and prostheses?

Both dentures and implants are used to replace missing teeth in the field of dental prosthetics, but there are some key differences between them. Here's a detailed comparison of the two:

Definition and scope

Denture: Denture is a general term for prosthetics made after some or all of the upper and lower teeth are missing. There are three types of dentures: movable dentures, fixed dentures and implants. Removable dentures are free to remove and wear, while fixed dentures are fixed on both adjacent teeth. Dental implants are surgically inserted artificial roots into the alveolar bone, on which a denture is attached.

Denture: Denture is a major type of oral restoration that uses artificial dentures to replace the form and function of natural teeth. The methods of denture include removable denture, fixed denture and implant denture, which are similar to the classification of denture. But prostheses are more focused on describing the entire restoration process, while dentures are more focused on describing the restoration itself.

Structure and steadiness

Wear a denture: The structure and firmness of a denture depends on its type. Movable dentures can be removed and worn by forming adsorption force and friction between the clings, base and surrounding oral tissues to provide stable support. Fixed dentures are directly attached to adjacent natural teeth or implants and cannot be removed or put on. Dental implants hold the dentures in place by tightly binding the artificial root to the alveolar bone.

Dental prostheses: removable dentures in dental prostheses are similar to removable dentures and can be removed and worn; The fixed denture is the same as the fixed denture in the denture, which cannot be removed and worn; Dental implants are also a form of dental implants.

Application and advantages and disadvantages

Wear a denture: Dentures are suitable for many types of missing teeth. Removable dentures have a wide range of applications and are relatively inexpensive, but they are less efficient at chewing and require regular cleaning. Fixed denture has high chewing efficiency and high comfort, but it requires higher abutment teeth and is expensive. Dental implants function and look almost as good as natural teeth, but are expensive and require surgical implants.

Dental implants: Dental implants are also suitable for many types of missing teeth. Its advantages and disadvantages are closely related to the type of denture chosen. For example, removable dentures are less expensive but less comfortable; Fixed dentures are high in comfort but expensive; Dental implants are functional and aesthetically good but are expensive.

Sum up

Wearing dentures and prostheses are both important methods in the field of dental prosthetics, but there are some key differences between them. Wearing a denture is more focused on describing the restoration itself, while prostheses are more focused on describing the entire restoration process. In the selection, patients should be based on their own tooth loss, economic conditions and comfort needs to consider factors. At the same time, no matter which method is chosen, it is necessary to maintain good oral hygiene habits and regular oral examinations and maintenance.
