| Immediate
Removable Complete Denture
After
extraction of teeth, shrinkage of bone takes place for the
first 4-5 months and hence a temporary denture is given to
the patient. This is called as immediate denture. This denture
should be used for 4 to 6 months and should be replaced.
Advantages
-
Patient
can enjoy his social life i.e. if he waits for 6 months
after total extraction of teeth, he has to move around
without teeth.
-
Patient
can chew better i.e. as the wound healing has not taken
place, he cannot chew hard food but this denture helps
him to eat better.
-
From
medical point of view, this denture helps to stabilize
his lower jaw i.e. if the patient stays without teeth
for six months, his lower jaw drifts forward.
