One of the most popular types of removable dentures today is clasp prosthetics. Thus, it is possible to effectively protect the gums, in addition, this is an excellent option in the absence of more than three teeth in the same row or in the presence of periodontitis, which loosened the teeth.
The clasp is an arched metal structure on which artificial teeth are fixed. In order to attach it to the oral cavity, special locks are used, to which there is a key, which serves as an additional guarantee of reliable fastening to the support.
As a support, not only the gum is used, but also its own tooth. That is why such a prosthesis has a compact appearance and has wear resistance, it is very durable and comfortable.
Among the
types of prosthetics most demanded today, in the first place is
arch prosthetics. If lamellar prostheses were previously used, now they are replaced by lighter and more optimal arch prostheses in volume, which evenly distribute the load while chewing on the gums and remaining teeth.
High-quality clasp prosthetics are an excellent alternative to fixed prosthetics. There are two options for fastenings - these are clasps and special locks. In the first case, the device is fixed with hooks - clasps. They grip the tooth securely, but despite this, the enamel is not damaged, which is a big plus. Minus - you can not hide the metal staples of such a prosthesis.
As for the device with locks, here the mounts are integrated into the ceramic-metal crowns of the remaining supporting teeth. In this case, everything is hidden outside, remains invisible. In addition, the advantage of this mounting option is a reliable, almost fixed fixation of the prosthesis.
For many, clasp prosthetics will become a real salvation, because it is no secret that today the condition of teeth in many people is noticeably worsening, regardless of how responsible they are about hygiene.
Most often, patients prefer fixed prostheses, but, unfortunately, they are not always possible to install. An important factor here is the clinical condition of the oral cavity and the number, as well as the location of missing teeth. The type of installed prostheses depends on these factors.
If three or four teeth are missing in a row, with movable teeth requiring splinting, arch prosthetics are used . This prosthesis is very light and comfortable, it is quite easy to care for it. Clasps do not need to be removed at night, it is enough to clean them regularly with a brush and paste, regularly treat them with a special solution. The accumulated plaque is removed in the morning and evening. Proper denture care will help extend their life.
Your smile will be simply fabulous, if you choose clasp prosthetics, the photo confirms this fact. If we talk about the cost, then such a prosthesis, of course, is higher than the prices of laminar dentures. But it’s worth it - such undeniable advantages as lightness and compactness, durability and reliability of fastening confirm the correct choice. In addition, the correct, uniform load distribution during chewing should be added to this list, as well as the aesthetics of this type of prosthetics.
