Indications and contraindications for the installation of nylon prostheses
Removable teeth made of nylon are installed in cases of increased gum sensitivity. In addition, they are used when it is necessary to restore the dentition in the complete or partial absence of chewing elements.
Such teeth are also installed for people of “traumatic” professions - builders, athletes. This is due to the fact that dentures made of nylon carefully protect the mucous membrane from impacts.
Partial dentures made of nylon are also installed for children. This is especially relevant in the context of early loss of baby teeth. Such structures help prevent skewed dentition and adequate development of speech functions.
However, despite the gentle effect on the tissues of the oral cavity, such artificial teeth are not always recommended for installation. Here are some contraindications:
- Retreat of gums from teeth
- Intensive increase in gum tissue
- Inflammatory processes in the mouth in the acute phase
- Crowns of supporting teeth that are not positioned high enough
- Excessive mobility of the mucous membrane
Another contraindication to prosthetics is a significant reduction in bone tissue.
Pros and cons of installing nylon dentures
Artificial teeth are highly durable. Almost invisible to others, they are able to restore full chewing function.
However, such teeth also have some disadvantages. One of them is not a particularly reliable fastening - even the highest quality removable systems can weaken over time.

Characteristics of nylon prostheses
This type of implant was developed as a replacement for insufficiently aesthetic and flexible acrylic dentures. One of the main features of such structures is the absence of metal elements. The base and fastening elements of the teeth are made of soft silicone material. The dental inserts are made of plastic, ceramics or zirconium oxide.
Another feature of such dentures is their compactness. The color of the base and fastening elements (clasps) is similar to the shade of the gums. Due to this, the implant is almost invisible in the mouth.
Such orthopedic devices do not harm the gums, do not cause irritation and do not exert excessive pressure on the mucous membrane. Orthopedic products are used when there is a deficiency of any number of teeth. In particular, they are adapted for people with:
Partial structures are fixed to the supporting teeth using grips. Complete dentures are fixed by creating a vacuum.
