Removable dentures are a good choice for those, who is looking for effective, fast and inexpensive solution to the problem of missing teeth. In the dentistry of CityDent, clasp prosthetics are carried out using Quadrotti dentures, which fully meet the needs of most patients, wishing to regain their beautiful smile. 
What is a prosthesis on clasp
The prosthesis got its name from the word byugel, which came from the German language and is translated as "arc". Any such prosthesis consists of three components:
- arc-shaped frame;
basis - a plastic part of the structure with artificial crowns located on it;
fixing system, through which the prosthesis is firmly attached to the teeth.
Classification of clasp prostheses according to the type of fixing system
Clasp prostheses: peculiarities, advantages, limitations
In such designs, clasps are used to hold the prosthesis in the oral cavity - metal incompletely closed rings, which are put on the patient's own dental crowns like a rim.
The clasp construction is the most inexpensive in the entire family of clasp prostheses. When prosthetics on clasps, the patient's own teeth do not require grinding, and the chewing load is optimally distributed: a third on the teeth under the clasps, two thirds on the gum. The main disadvantage of clasp prostheses is that, that metal rims are visible in a smile.
Prostheses with fastening with attachments: for and against
Prostheses with attachments are also called in a different way prostheses with locks. Attachment consists of two elements, one of which is installed on the abutment tooth, the second - inside the artificial crown, worn over. When installing the prosthesis, these elements are closed to each other, firmly holding the entire prosthetic structure in the oral cavity.
Dentures with attachments can only be installed on intact and not loose natural teeth.. The latter usually require grinding for an artificial crown.. But the aesthetic effect of such clasp prostheses is excellent. (the prosthesis is not visible at all), and the reliability of fixation is high. When using attachments, approximately 50% chewing load is distributed on the supporting teeth - and 50% on the right.
Prostheses with telescopic crowns: description, advantages
Clasp prosthetics on telescopic crowns are more reliable, than on attachments, while the aesthetic effect is also excellent. With this type of fixation, the prosthetist makes two crowns at once:
- one is installed on the abutment tooth;
- the second - on a removable prosthesis.
Crowns fit like this, so that the prosthesis can be put on the tooth like a cap. The effect of strong fixation is achieved due to the ideal matching of surfaces and friction forces..
What are the advantages of clasp prosthetics
- Aesthetics. Artificial crowns form a beautiful smile line. Only clasp locks are visible on dental crowns, other types of locks are not noticeable in a smile, what can be verified, looking at the photo above.
- Strength. Depending on the type of prosthesis used, its service life can be 3-7 years old.
- Convenience. The basis of the prosthesis is thin, so taste sensitivity, the ability to intelligible sound pronunciation is not lost. Locks firmly hold the prosthesis in the mouth, excluding the possibility of its falling out during a conversation or when chewing.
- Splinting function. Clasp prosthesis can be used in case of loosening of teeth: elements of metal clasps firmly hold dental crowns from the side of the oral cavity, splinting them.
- Price. The price of clasp prostheses is one of the most affordable today among all removable structures.. For dentures with other types of locking systems (that will not be visible in a smile) cost will be higher, but the aesthetic effect when using them is better.
