A nylon denture (a type of removable denture) consists of a base made of thermoplastic material and artificial dental crowns attached to it. This orthopedic product is designed to replace partially or completely lost dental arches.
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:
Another contraindication to prosthetics is a significant reduction in bone tissue.

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.
