How Do You Ensure the Comfort and Stability of Your Denture?

Explore the mysteries of restorative dentistry and unravel the delicate craftsmanship of denture making. Comfort and stability are key in the journey towards a perfect smile. In this article, we will bring you an in-depth understanding of how to ensure the perfect fit of the denture, so that patients can be more confident in their smile.

1. Choosing the right material: The right material is crucial to ensuring the stability and comfort of a removable denture. Oral materials should have enough strength to support the chewing force, good biocompatibility, and a certain degree of flexibility to adapt to the oral cavity of the small morphological changes, such as all-ceramic zirconium oxide materials with good aesthetic effect, high strength, can significantly improve the patient's comfort and stability. 

2. The application of digital technology: with the development of digital technology, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD / CAM) technology in the production of movable denture is widely used, which not only improves the accuracy of processing, but also helps to simulate and analyse the mechanical performance of the chewing process, to provide a basis for subsequent adjustment.

3. Mechanical analysis: movable denture must be mechanically analysed at the design stage to ensure that it can remain stable and not cause discomfort when subjected to masticatory forces and other oral muscle forces.

4. Trial wear and adjustment: In the adjustment process after the completion of the production, the doctor needs to observe the suitability and performance of the denture in the oral cavity through trial wear, adjust the parts that may generate excessive pressure in a timely manner, to ensure that the distribution of pressure is uniform, to avoid damage to the local mucous membranes in specific areas.

5. Long-term adaptation considerations: long-term use of denture may lead to changes in the internal structure of the oral cavity, such as alveolar bone resorption, these changes may affect the stability and comfort of the denture. Therefore, these long-term effects must be taken into account in the design and the denture must be adjusted regularly to adapt to these changes.

6. Cleaning and maintenance: Cleaning and maintenance of the denture is also key to ensuring its long-term stability and comfort. Incorrect cleaning methods can lead to damage, distortion or bacterial build-up in the denture, thus affecting its performance and safety. It is therefore vital that patients are provided with the correct cleaning and maintenance instructions.
