There are several types of dentures, but they are generally divided into two broad categories: The Fixed Dental Prosthesis and the Removable Dental Prosthesis.

Fixed Dental Prosthesis

The purpose of a fixed prosthesis is to replace a damaged or broken part of a tooth or even a missing tooth permanently. It then behaves like your natural tooth. It is aan ideal solution for restoring your smile or even making it more beautiful. It will also help you chew your food. It can be made up:

With metal (CCM) as the base, coated with white ceramic. This is an economical solution, but the aesthetic result is mediocre.
It can be made entirely of ceramic (CCC), a more expensive solution than CCM, but very aesthetic, especially in the anterior region.

Benefits

Longevite
Fixed
Esthetics
Good biocompatibility
Excellent fit and comfort

Disadvantages

Mutilates the tooth itself and sometimes even neighbouring teeth
More expensive than Removable

All on 4/ All on 6

This technique is used to permanently install a complete dental prosthesis (denture) in a totally edentulous patient. This recent technique makes it possible to support a complete dental prosthesis on 4 or 6 implants.

Removable Dental Prosthesis

The removable prosthesis is a treatment that restores and maintains the disturbed oral environment. Its objective is twofold:

Direct objective: to replace lost teeth.
Indirect objective: to preserve the balance of the remaining teeth, bone and mucosa, as well as the temporomandibular joint.

There are two types of removable dental prosthesis: I-Removable prosthesis Complèyou II-Partial removable prosthesis

I. Complete removable prosthesis (PAC)

Known as a denture or total removable prosthesis, this is a device that replaces all the teeth on a single dental arch (top or bottom), as well as part of the gum. It consists of a pink acrylic resin base and teeth in a variety of colours and shapes, adapted to the patient's preferences.

Benefits

Affordable price
Identical to natural teeth
Easy to apply and remove
High mechanical resistance
Possible relining

Disadvantages

May cause allergic reactions
Store food
Need time to adapt
Sometimes instability of the prosthesis in the lower region

II. Partial removable prosthesis (PAP)

A partial denture is a prosthesis with a rigid metal frame that replaces part of the teeth using clasps. There are 3 types:

Partial Removable Resin Prosthesis (PAPR)

Made up of a pink acrylic resin plate covering the gum. It is fixed with small shaped metal hooks.

Partial removable prosthesis in Valplast

Valplast is made from a basic material: nylon, and replaces traditional resin. It is unbreakable, highly aesthetic, flexible and extremely comfortable for the patient.

Partial removable prosthesis with metal infrastructure (PAPIP)

Also known as Stellite, a metal plate covering the gum serves as a support for missing teeth. Stellite is "attached" in the mouth by hooks that are placed around the remaining natural teeth.
