Complete dentures - HYGIEIA

The total denture is made especially for the upper and lower jaw in situations when all natural teeth are lost in one of the jaws. Complete dentures consist of a base on which teeth are placed. The base is made of pink acrylate, which blends in with the color of the mucous membrane and thus supports the entire aesthetic work. The purpose of the base is to distribute the chewing forces that occur when chewing on the mucosa and bone base. As the mucosa itself cannot withstand heavy loads, it is important that the base be as wide as possible so that the masticatory forces are distributed over as large an area as possible, thus achieving a safer and more pleasant bite. The upper base covers the entire palate, and the lower base has the shape of a horseshoe, leaving free space for the tongue. The complete prosthesis should be removed and washed and disinfected at least once a day with appropriate means, and it is recommended to wash it after every meal and before bed.
