1. Removable prosthesis

Within the removable prosthesis are 2 types

- Skeletal prosthesis or removable metal top and bottom (the body of the prosthesis is made up of metal).

That is, they hold both the teeth and mucosa, and are performed when the patient still retains some of your natural teeth. These prostheses are removable, or whatever it is, can be extracted and placed by the patient.

They are made by casting a metal structure (which may be of different alloys, both noble and non-nobles) from a wax pattern made by hand, and the use of preforms on the model of investment. The teeth and gums are reconstructions of acrylic resin. Read the rest of this entry »
