|---|---|
| Immediate Denture | dentures are complete, anteriors are extracted, alveolectomy is performed and dentures inserted |
| Saddle | aka denture base; part of partial denture that holds the denture teeth in place |
| Rests | part of the partial denture that contacts tooth providing vertical/horizontal support |
| Reline | resurfacing the under surface or tissue surface of full or partial denture to improve fit |
| Porcelain teeth vs Acrylic teeth | Porcelain - more resistant to stains and wear but are more brittle than the resin, also can cause a clicking when eating. Acrylic aka plastic - greater resistance to breakage, quieter and bond more efficiently to denture base |
