Problems with Removable Partial Denture

PROBLEMS WITH REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES...



PROBLEM -1:
      They have to fasten to your existing teeth, and because of that they put extra stress on those teeth. What tends to happen over the years is that you will lose those teeth that it attaches to. This especially happens if you have a large number of teeth missing as you do on the upper.
PROBLEM-2:
      They trap food. There are either metal or plastic clasps that attach to the teeth, and food collects around those clasps, which also causes problems for those teeth. The collected food promotes tooth decay.
Problem-3:
      They are uncomfortable. The hardware in your mouth is annoying. Sometimes upper partials have to cover your palate, and this can provoke a gagging reflex in some people.
Problem-4:
      They are risky.There is a risk that you may swallow the partial denture.It may struck in your food track or your wind pipe..which is quite dangerous.
Problem-5
      Mostly the removable dentures are loose..and it may come out while drinking,eating and speaking and it may lead to embarrassing moments
Problem-6:
      Removable dentures don’t  increase the chewing efficiency.
Problem-7
     In the long run they resorb the underlying jaw bone
