Types of dental prosthesis materials

First of all, there are different materials used to make dental prostheses. Tooth loss occurs due to various factors, which is why there are also various types of prosthesis that can be indicated for each patient’s needs. Dental prostheses can be made on full-arch dental implants, protocol prostheses or even on individual dental implants. Therefore, as there are many types of prostheses, from fixed prostheses to removable prostheses ( dentures ), we have decided to explain the types of dental prostheses in a very simple way.

The aim is certainly to help you learn more about all the options available and also to help you decide on the best treatment option. See more below.

Learn about the main types of dentures

First of all, teeth are very important for health, aesthetics and well-being. The absence of teeth therefore compromises speech, chewing, social interaction and even general health.

In addition, difficulty chewing can sometimes influence the poor intake of important nutrients.

The great news is that dental prostheses today are very advanced and increasingly resemble natural teeth, not only in appearance but also in function. What’s more, there are many options for prosthetic materials, from conventional teeth to fully computerized ones

Therefore, we will discuss the main types of dentures and dental crowns and the characteristics of each one below.

Classification by type of prosthesis. By size

single dental implant — **Single or individual denture –** This is a denture in the shape of a single tooth element.

partial implant fixed dental bridge — **Partial or multiple prosthesis –** This is a bridge-shaped prosthesis that contains three dental elements, the central one suspended over the gums. It is therefore used to replace teeth that have been lost sequentially.

total implant fixed dental prosthesis — **Full dentures –** These are used to replace all the teeth in a dental arch when the person has no teeth left.

Description by type of prosthesis . Fixation method

By method of attachment, dental prostheses can be cemented or screwed.

bridge over teeth — Cemented crowns on teeth

screwed crown versus cemented crown — Crowns on implants can be of the cemented or screwed type

Description by type of prosthesis . Type of support

mobile dentures - materials for dental prostheses — **Gum-supported dentures –** Full **dentures** that are supported on the gums and are held in place by the shape of the denture or with the aid of attachments.

cemented bridge over teeth - prosthetic materials — **Supported on teeth –** The **single** or partial **denture** can be bonded to teeth that can still be maintained, usually with a treated root canal and with part of the remaining structure prepared. In this way, the **partial denture** can also be attached to the lateral teeth using metal clips, but this technique has some disadvantages, such as exposed metal and a certain amount of discomfort.

fixed dental bridge on dental implants — **Implant-supported** fixed prosthesis – Single, partial or total prostheses can be fixed on **dental implants** surgically installed in the jawbone or mandible. In the case of **complete dentures**, the implants are strategically distributed throughout the arch.

Classification by type of dentalprosthesis materials

resin fixed total dental prosthesis on implants — **Resin dental prosthesis –** Plastic material used to make a single prosthesis, partial or total, on gums or on an implant. The Branemark protocol is a total prosthesis with a metal framework and resin teeth and gums.

metal ceramic total prosthesis — **Metal-ceramic prost** hesis – This is a single, partial or total prosthesis with a metal structure and teeth made of dental porcelain.

zirconia total prosthesis fixed implants, zirconia is one of the best materials — **Applied zirconia dental prosthesis –** Single, partial or total prosthesis with an internal zirconia structure and teeth made of dental porcelain. Extremely aesthetic and similar to natural teeth.

coroa zirconia multilayer 50kb — **Pure zirconia dental prosthesis –** Pure zirconia is also known as cubic zirconia, or translucent zirconia, monolithic zirconia, as well as multilayer zirconia.

On the type of gum characterization and materials

zirconia total prosthesis for aesthetic implants — **Artificial gum** prosthesis – Artificial g um prosthesis is indicated for people who have had a lot of vertical bone loss, cases in which the gums have been reshaped and therefore the arch has lost its shape, or who have lost their gums for other reasons. In this case, the artificial gum mimics the shape and color of the natural gum so that the prosthesis looks more natural and the teeth don’t get too long.

full dentures without artificial gums — **Without artificial gums (teeth only) –** Dentures without artificial gums are indicated for people who maintain the volume and arch of their natural gums (for example, someone who has a tooth extracted and then has a dental implant placed). It is certainly not possible to make a gumless prosthesis in all cases, so please consult us.

Type of impressions and prosthesis planning

computerized dental prosthesis design for modern materials — **Computerized impression taking –** **Technological advances** allow us to take digital impressions with intraoral scanners and processes that are part computerized and part manual. This undeniably allows us to make **faster, more** personalized, more aesthetic **prostheses** with excellent adaptation.

moldagem convencional 50kb — **Conventional molding –** made with putty and the prosthesis manufactured using completely manual processes. The result can be **excellent**, but the work can take longer.

Some of the prostheses made at the ImplArt Dental Clinic

First of all, we know that images are important for seeing the results of a treatment and analyzing the differences in prosthesis materials. We have therefore included some images below so that you can see the different types of dentures made at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt.
