• Complete denture prosthesis (Definition and Objectives)
Prosthodontics :Is (the branch of dental arts and science pertaining to the restoration and maintenance of oral function by the replacement of missing teeth and structures by artificial devices).
The term Prosthodontics is a combination of the words prosthesis and dentistry.
Prosthesis: Is defined as the replacement of an absent part of the human body by an artificial part.Thus, any dental restoration is a prosthesis.
The complete denture: A dental prosthesis that replaces the lost natural dentition and associated structures of the maxilla and mandible.
The partial denture: A prosthesis that replace one or more, but less than all, of the natural teeth and associated structures and that is supported by the teeth and/or mucosa.
Anatomical and esthetic changes after loss of teeth
The objectives of prosthodontic treatment are :
• To restore masticatory function. Chewing makes eating more enjoyable.• To restore or improve the appearance of an individual.
• To improve speech. Many sounds are formed by the tongue contacting or valving against the teeth.
• To carry out these procedures in such a manner as to cause the patient no harm or discomfort. An uncomfortable patient is unhappy.
The primary difference between a complete denture and a removable partial denture is the method by which the prosthesis gains support. **A complete denture is supported by bone covered by soft tissue (mucosa). **A removable partial denture gains support from the bone covered the mucosa, and from the remaining teeth.
