The artificial dentures are removable prosthetic restoration that replaces some( in cases of partial dentures) with metallic or aesthetic clasps or attachments or all (in the case of full denture) natural teeth

Advantages:

1. Affordable cost
2. Quick and easy process
3. Enhances facial aesthetics
4. Restore chewing and speech

Disadvantages :

1. In cases of bone resorption resulting in recession of the gums causing problems in stability of the denture
2. A slight difficulty in speaking and chewing after placement and patients need to have patience to get used to
3. The dentures should be checked by the dentist at least once a year, because there is a possibility to need to be repaired or replaced
4. Caution should be exercised in the way you wash the dentures that do not break. Use nylon brush to remove food residue on a daily basis

They are divided in 7 categories :

Full complete denture

replaces all the teeth in a single arch

Immediate complete denture

is the denture that is inserted immediate after the extraction of existing dentition and it is made before the extraction of natural teeth

replaces the missing teeth and is based on the natural teeth with metallic or aesthetic clasps

replaces the missing teeth and is based to dental crowns with special attachments
