Flexible Dentures

• Partial dentures bring the beauty back to your
  smile by replacing missing teeth. It was long
  thought that removable partial dentures had to be
  rigid to be effective.
• Traditionally, removable partial dentures were
  fabricated from a rigid metal base designed to
  replace missing teeth in partially edentulous
  patients.
• The newer flexible removable partial dentures
  (RPDs) are being used more and more commonly for
  temporary, or on occasion permanent, replacement
  of missing teeth.
• The flexibility of these dentures provides
  several advantages over the traditional RPD
  alternatives made of rigid, acrylic plastic
  resin.
• These dentures are providing a comfortable and
  successful alternative to traditional RPDs.
• Flexible RPDs are actually made of a form of
  nylon first introduced into dentistry in the
  1950s. Technically known as super-polyamides, or,
  in this application, as flexible polyamides,
  these resins are tough, resistant, extremely
  durable and strong.

• Flexible dentures look realistic, stay securely
  in place and are more comfortable to wear.
  Instead of metal clasps, they have thin
  finger-like extensions that fit or snap into
  natural concavities in the crowns of the teeth
  near the gum line.
• Flexible Partials blend in well with the natural
  appearance of your gums, making the partial
  virtually invisible. The plastic has almost a
  chameleon effect, it is so strong that the
  partial can be made very thin and so picks up the
  characteristics of the underlying tissue
• Dentures made of flexible polyamides can also
  provide an alternative for people who are
  allergic to acrylic and they are thin,
  lightweight and resistant to fracture.
• However, they are difficult to reline, rebase and
  repair. And while they have less of a propensity
  to stain (especially from teas, coffee and wine)
  than traditional acrylic dentures, they still
  need to be properly cleaned and maintained.
• Like other partial dentures, flexible RPDs
  maintain space i.e., stop remaining natural
  teeth from moving into the gaps where teeth are
  missing. They are used to otherwise restore
  function and aesthetics during the transition to
  more long-term and definitive tooth replacements.

• Dentists in Delhi are making patients very happy
  with these prostheses because they are fabricated
  readily and dont require multiple try-in
  appointments
• All types of RPDs must be removed and cleaned
  thoroughly, as they tend to allow increased
  bacterial biofilm accumulation on the teeth at
  the gum line.
• As mentioned earlier, flexible RPDs are held in
  place by little projections that fit into the
  areas between the teeth and gums. This can trap
  food and bacteria, and render certain areas
  inaccessible to the cleansing, antibacterial
  action of saliva. Therefore its very important
  to remove the dentures periodically to practice
  regular and optimal oral hygiene, and to clean
  the appliances. This will help prevent gingivitis
  (inflammation of the gums) and tooth decay. Also,
  RPDs should never be worn overnight, when
  salivary flow is reduced, making the mouth dry
  and the potential for bacterial buildup worse.
• How to Care for Your Flexible Partial Denture
• Like your own natural teeth, flexible partial
  dentures require care and good oral hygiene. To
  keep your restoration looking and feeling like
  new, please follow these simple flexible partial
  denture care directions

• - Clean your appliance regularly.
• - Loose particles can be removed with the use of
  a sonic denture cleaner, or by placing the
  appliance under running water. Brushing a denture
  is generally not recommended as this may remove
  the polish and roughen the surface over time.
• - If possible, rinse your new dental appliance
  after eating to remove any food particles.
• - Keep the partial in water or in denture cleaner
  whenever it is not being worn to keep the surface
  hydrated.
• - Remember to brush your natural teeth and gums
  regularly.
• Both the dental clinics in India and dental
  clinics in Delhi, are routinely treating
  partially edentulous patients with the help of
  flexible dentures.
