- Frame denture - the best among all the removable prosthetic restorations. Acrylic teeth and gums are placed on a specially moulded metal frame. Clasps and spikes holding the frame denture transmit the chewing force to natural teeth. Thanks to this action gums are not exposed to a load. To hide metal clasps on visible surfaces we can use special locks or bars.
- Acrylic denture - a traditional denture used for completing partial or full lacks. The advantage of this denture is its low cost while its disadvantage is unnatural gum load followed by bone overload which results in atrophy and causes settling of prosthesis.
- Nylon denture (claspless) - built similarly to acrylic denture though needing no metal clasps for holding. Thanks to its elasticity it fits the patient’s mouth excellently.
