3. Partial dentures bring the beauty back to your smile by replacing missing teeth. It was long thought that removable partial dentures had to be rigid to be effective. • Traditionally, removable partial dentures were fabricated from a rigid metal base designed to replace missing teeth in partially edentulous patients. • The newer flexible removable partial dentures (RPDs) are being used more and more commonly for temporary, or on occasion permanent, replacement of missing teeth. • The flexibility of these dentures provides several advantages over the traditional RPD alternatives made of rigid, acrylic plastic resin. • These dentures are providing a comfortable and successful alternative to traditional RPDs. • Flexible RPDs are actually made of a form of nylon first introduced into dentistry in the 1950s. Technically known as super-polyamides, or, in this application, as flexible polyamides, these resins are tough, resistant, extremely durable and strong.

4. Flexible dentures look realistic, stay securely in place and are more comfortable to wear. Instead of metal clasps, they have thin finger-like extensions that fit or snap into natural concavities in the crowns of the teeth near the gum line. • Flexible Partials blend in well with the natural appearance of your gums, making the partial virtually invisible. The plastic has almost a chameleon effect, it is so strong that the partial can be made very thin and so picks up the characteristics of the underlying tissue • Dentures made of flexible polyamides can also provide an alternative for people who are allergic to acrylic; and they are thin, lightweight and resistant to fracture. • However, they are difficult to reline, rebase and repair. And while they have less of a propensity to stain (especially from teas, coffee and wine) than traditional acrylic dentures, they still need to be properly cleaned and maintained. • Like other partial dentures, flexible RPDs maintain space — i.e., stop remaining natural teeth from moving into the gaps where teeth are missing. They are used to otherwise restore function and aesthetics during the transition to more long-term and definitive tooth replacements.

5. Dentists in Delhi are making patients very happy with these prostheses because they are fabricated readily and don’t require multiple try-in appointments • All types of RPDs must be removed and cleaned thoroughly, as they tend to allow increased bacterial biofilm accumulation on the teeth at the gum line. • As mentioned earlier, flexible RPDs are held in place by little projections that fit into the areas between the teeth and gums. This can trap food and bacteria, and render certain areas inaccessible to the cleansing, antibacterial action of saliva. Therefore it’s very important to remove the dentures periodically to practice regular and optimal oral hygiene, and to clean the appliances. This will help prevent gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and tooth decay. Also, RPDs should never be worn overnight, when salivary flow is reduced, making the mouth dry and the potential for bacterial buildup worse. • How to Care for Your Flexible Partial Denture • Like your own natural teeth, flexible partial dentures require care and good oral hygiene. To keep your restoration looking and feeling like new, please follow these simple flexible partial denture care directions:

6. - Clean your appliance regularly. • - Loose particles can be removed with the use of a sonic denture cleaner, or by placing the appliance under running water. Brushing a denture is generally not recommended as this may remove the polish and roughen the surface over time. • - If possible, rinse your new dental appliance after eating to remove any food particles. • - Keep the partial in water or in denture cleaner whenever it is not being worn to keep the surface hydrated. • - Remember to brush your natural teeth and gums regularly. • Both the dental clinics in India and dental clinics in Delhi, are routinely treating partially edentulous patients with the help of flexible dentures. • Source:http://bit.ly/2joDq1X
