Sandwich dentures – design features and advantages


In the world of dental prosthetics, an ultra-modern novelty recently appeared - a miniature, comfortable and natural sandwich denture. It suits almost everyone, is easy to clean, and installs quickly and without any problems. Its advantages can be listed endlessly, but it is better to see everything with your own eyes.

Dentistry does not stand still. Specialists are developing new designs and materials that meet modern requirements for aesthetics, comfort, convenience and functionality. This is especially true for implants and dentures, the task of which is to completely replace real teeth. Dental inventions of the new generation include a removable sandwich denture, which is superior to other orthodontic structures in many respects .

Price

Removable dentures without a palate are compact orthopedic structures designed to restore the integrity of the upper row of teeth. Traditionally, the upper denture is equipped with a palatal plate for vacuum fixation to the hard palate. Adaptation to such products lasts up to 3 weeks. Some patients cannot get used to it and refuse prosthetics, which reduces their quality of life. A removable denture without a palate is much smaller. The patient gets used to it in 7-10 days.

Manufacturing and installation stages

  1. First appointment and examination by a doctor. If necessary, 3D diagnostics and other examinations are performed.
  2. Treatment of diseases and pathologies that prevent the installation of removable orthopedic sandwich dentures without palate. This may include treatment of pulpitis, periodontal disease, professional teeth cleaning and whitening using a new generation Zoom device, as well as other necessary procedures.
  3. Implantation of supporting crowns if necessary and if there are indications for this procedure.
  4. Impressions of dental arches, on the basis of which the laboratory produces removable dental structures of a new generation without a palate.
  5. Fitting and adjustment, if necessary, of the finished sandwich prosthesis.

Why do you need the palate in a removable denture with suction cups?

The simplest dental prosthesis for the upper jaw in the classic design has a palatal septum. The sky cover performs the function of fixation. During installation, air escapes from underneath the device. A rarefied space (vacuum) appears between the soft tissues and the device. The reliability of the fixation depends on the area and tightness of the contact surfaces - the larger they are, the better the hold. Conventional plate dentures without a palate do not hold up well and move during chewing or speaking. But the plate significantly increases the size of the device.

Side effects are:

  • diction disorders;
  • increased salivation;
  • deterioration of taste perception;
  • vomiting reflex.

Due to atrophic processes, the alveolar ridge of the jaw gradually sags. A discrepancy appears between the base of the device and the contours of the prosthetic bed. Dental jaws are less stable and the patient has to use special creams.

Service life of the orthopedic device

To create the design, durable, high-quality material is used, which ensures a fairly long service life of the product. The manufacturer offers a 10-year warranty on its products. If you handle the product carefully, adhere to hygiene rules and do not overload the system, it can last much longer. The prosthesis is easy to repair and reline, which is largely due to the simplicity of the design and the absence of a large number of small elements.

Features of new generation prostheses without palate

Open-air structures do not have a massive ceiling and are lighter and more comfortable. Therefore they are called new generation prostheses. Due to their compact size, they do not cause discomfort, do not cause a gag reflex, and do not impair diction. With significant absence of teeth in some designs, a small arch is still present for reliable fixation in the mouth. But the septum does not cover the receptors, so taste reactions are preserved. In complete removable dentures, it is impossible to exclude a massive palatal element.

Care

Caring for dentures of this type is quite simple: brushing twice a day with a regular toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste, rinsing after each meal, disinfecting with special tablets once or twice a week. It is not necessary to remove the structure at night; you can sleep peacefully and comfortably with it. It is recommended to have your teeth professionally cleaned by your dentist once a year.

Types of partial absence of teeth

Partial dentures have no palatal overlap or include a small palatal septum.

Clasp with metal arc

Partially removable clasp-type devices consist of a metal base, artificial gum, plastic or ceramic crowns, hooks (clasps) or locks (attachments) for attachment to supports. An arc (clasp) passes through the base, strengthening the structure. The devices are equipped with a metal ring or a thin crossbar. The device is fixed to soft tissues and the patient’s own teeth. The advantages of clasp structures are compactness, reliable fixation, and uniform distribution of the chewing load. Splinting clasps allow you to strengthen loose remaining teeth and avoid their premature loss. Disadvantages of clasps - when attached to clasps for fixation, they are noticeable in the smile area, there is a risk of developing galvanic syndrome. Devices of this type are not used in completely edentulous patients. Clasp dentures for teeth function for about 10 years.

Soft Quadrotti

Quattro Ti dentures are made from Dental D plastic.

They consist of dense artificial gum, crowns and a thin polymer bridge. The device leaves a large area of ​​soft tissue exposed.

Due to the absence of metal elements, the design remains lightweight. Fixation is ensured by a tight fit to soft tissues and a clasp mechanism. Transparent hooks are invisible even in the smile area.

Quadrotti dentures are comfortable and aesthetic, so patients quickly get used to them. The material combines the properties of plastic and nylon.

Quadrotti products last 5-7 years.

Acrylic Sandwich

The design includes a base, artificial teeth, and lateral telescopic crowns made of hard material.

The device is fixed on the supporting teeth.

The device can be attached if 2 teeth are intact (1 on each side).

The advantages of Sandwiches are compactness and aesthetics.

Disadvantages - do not use for inflammation of soft tissues, pathological mobility of supporting teeth. Functions up to 5 years.

Immediate prosthesis Butterfly

The Butterfly prosthesis made of lightweight materials is used as a temporary prosthetic option - until the permanent one is ready or while waiting for implants to heal.

It is attached with hooks resembling butterfly wings to adjacent teeth on either side of the defect.

Usually it replaces a short defect (up to 3 teeth), so it does not cover the palate.

Lasts up to 1 year, then requires replacement.

Reviews

Markin Alexey Ivanovich. Moscow

Half a year ago, I placed 4 implants on my lower jaw in Kazakhstan, while they were taking root, in this clinic they made me a temporary nylon removable denture. I paid very little for it and wore it for 4 months until they put crowns on the implants. The prosthetist recommended me a good remedy for cleaning gums and crowns, for which I am very grateful to him, thank you.

Is it possible to install a denture without a palate in the absence of teeth in the upper jaw?

Orthopedic devices without a plate are not installed in completely edentulous patients. It is necessary to have a jumper that will hold the device.

An alternative to removable prosthetics is implantation with the installation of a bridge. The most popular technology is All-on-4. The design is completely devoid of a bulky base. Attached to implants fixed in the bone. Implants transfer the load to the bone tissue, which slows down atrophic processes. Prostheses on implants function for 15 years. When using quality materials, the results last a lifetime.

Contraindications for prosthetics

  • allergic reactions to materials: although they are hypoallergenic, no one is immune from individual intolerance. Therefore, carefully monitor the condition of the oral cavity after prosthetics and especially focus on the appearance of rashes, itching, swelling,
  • complete edentia (if there are no teeth at all): in this case, instead of “sandwiches”, classic removable ones (plate or Acry-free) are also suitable, but it is better to still carry out implantation - it’s more reliable,
  • the need for complete removal of remaining teeth along with roots,
  • late stages of periodontitis or periodontal disease, when the teeth become very mobile and cannot serve as a quality support for prosthetics.

What satisfied consumers say

“I had the opportunity to try different prostheses on myself, and last time my friends suggested that I go to a clinic where they install so-called sandwich structures. I decided to experiment, and did not regret my choice at all. In terms of comfort and convenience, this is the best I've come across. Any prosthesis takes some time to get used to, but here it immediately fit like a glove and didn’t rub anywhere.”

Maslov R.D., 54 years old, Moscow, from correspondence on a thematic forum

“I’m now raising money for implantation, but for now I had to install a removable denture. I spent a long time choosing a model, consulting with friends, and ultimately chose the sandwich model. What can I say from myself: adaptation took literally days, I didn’t notice any speech disturbances, or any problems with eating. The new teeth look very natural, and if you don’t look closely, you can’t tell the difference at all. I give this sandwich a solid ten. I’m very glad that I chose him.”

Flaws

Despite the large number of advantages, the number of disadvantages is much smaller. These include just a few factors:

  1. the prosthesis cannot be used if there are diseases of the oral cavity;
  2. it is necessary to have several natural teeth or the possibility of installing implants must be present, since support is required for fixation in the oral cavity.
  3. has sufficient rigidity only with a high level of fixation.

History of creation

Sandwich dentures were developed in Russia by a group of dental specialists from the Persona-Life clinic based on advanced modern technical solutions.

The name is derived from the features that combine several materials with different physical properties. This makes it possible to solve a wide range of problems characteristic of traditional overlay prostheses.

Such a prosthesis does not require the use of fixing paste and provides the best fit to the mucosa.

Price

Since a removable denture is made from high-quality imported materials, it is expensive and not available to all dental patients. The average price starts from 35,000-40,000 rubles. The cost varies greatly, depending on the number of missing teeth in the jaw and the list of dental services.

What matters is the choice of city, the reputation of the clinic and the specific doctor. If we talk about prices in Ukraine, for example, in Dnieper they start from 10,000 UAH. and higher. But the result is worth it!
