From Conventional to Unconventional- The Denture Journey
Journal Title: SSR Institute of International Journal of Life Sciences (SSR-IIJLS) - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
In the new generation of dentistry where implants and fixed prosthesis are a common mode of treatment, a wide range of patients and clinicians still opt for removable dentures as a treatment of choice. With the patients demanding better aesthetics, function, and comfort newer materials were introduced for the fabrication of dentures. Hard and soft tissue undercuts are frequently encountered in the fabrication of prosthesis in partially as well as completely edentulous arches. Flexible denture offers a simpler and cost-effective treatment for the oral rehabilitation of such cases. This article reviews the indications and advantages of the flexible dentures and enlists the various commercially available flexible denture base materials.
