Partial dentures with metal base framework - Polyclinic MakeOver

Partial dentures are made when a certain number of natural teeth are present in the jaw that allow the denture to adhere. The remaining teeth must be repaired in order to attach a partial denture to them, which makes it more stable during chewing and speech, and thus more comfortable to wear. Unlike a complete denture in which the masticatory force is on the mucosa, a partial denture will transfer the load to the other teeth and thus relieve the mucosa. The advantage of a partial denture is that it can withstand higher chewing forces without irritating the mucous membrane.
