Installation of clasp dentures
Clasp dentures are removable prosthetic constructions with a metal framework designed to restore partially missing teeth. They are characterized by high strength, comfort, and ease of use, providing even distribution of masticatory load.
When is placement of clasp dentures indicated?
- In cases of partial tooth loss when placement of fixed bridgework is not possible.
- When a more reliable and long-lasting alternative to conventional removable dentures is required.
- When uniform distribution of load across the dental arch is necessary.
- To prevent displacement of the remaining teeth.
- When patient comfort and durability of the construction are important.
How is the procedure performed?
- Consultation and diagnostics – the dentist examines the oral cavity, takes impressions, and selects the optimal type of construction.
- Fabrication of the prosthesis – based on the impressions, a metal framework is created to which artificial teeth and the denture base are attached.
- Try-in and adjustment – the patient tests the prosthesis, and the dentist adjusts the fit if necessary.
- Final placement – the prosthesis is retained on the teeth using clasps, attachments, or telescopic crowns.
- Adaptation period – follow-up visits are performed during the first weeks to assess adaptation and make possible adjustments.
Types of clasp dentures
- With clasps – retained by metal hooks that engage the abutment teeth.
- With attachments – incorporate concealed locking elements that provide improved aesthetics and convenience.
- On telescopic crowns – used in cases of significant dental arch defects and characterized by high reliability.
Why choose clasp denture placement in Belarus?
