Dental prosthesis without palate

One of the solutions to replace the missing teeth in the jaw is a dental prosthesis without a palate, or an upper jaw artificial tooth without a roof. A type of artificial tooth that is produced with the latest dental technologies and does not have limitations such as loosening, causing sensitivity and discomfort. But exactly what this type of prosthesis is, for which people it is suitable and how it is implemented, are topics that we will discuss in detail in this article from Dr. Banyanian's dental site. So stay with us till the end to get more information. What is dental prosthesis without palate? A dental prosthesis without a roof or an artificial tooth without a roof is a type of removable dental prosthesis that, unlike other traditional dental prostheses, does not cover the roof of the mouth (palate). That is, it is designed in such a way that it is placed only on the gums and the remaining teeth in the upper jaw, and unlike traditional models, it does not cover the palate (roof of the mouth). This open palate design can have significant benefits. Benefits include higher stability and performance, more natural mouth feel, and improved taste and eating pleasure. At all, the main goal of designing this type of prosthesis is to increase the comfort of the patient and reduce the problems caused by the complete coverage of the roof of the mouth. Types of dentures without palate Prostheses without a palate are divided into several main categories: ### Complete maxillary prosthesis without roof with implant base This type of prosthesis without a palate is designed based on several dental implants that are fixed or semi-fixed in the upper jaw. That is, in this method, between 4 and 6 implants are planted in the upper jaw bone so that the prosthesis can be mounted on them. The very high stability of this type of prosthesis means that patients do not have to worry about the prosthesis moving or loosening when talking or eating. In addition, due to the lack of covering the roof of the mouth, the sense of taste and comfort of the mouth is preserved more. This model is the best option for people who are looking for a permanent replacement, with a completely natural appearance and high performance. Of course, it has a higher cost and the need to perform surgery for implant placement is one of the things that should be considered. To get more information in this field, it is not a bad idea to visit the articles "What is an all on 4 implant" and "Extracted tooth replacement". ### Movable dental prosthesis without maxillary roof In this method, the prosthesis is designed to be movable and placed on several implants in the upper jaw. But the patient is free to move that prosthesis. It means that he can take the prosthesis out of his mouth easily and at will and put it back in again. Unlike fixed prostheses, this model allows you to clean it daily. This means that you can remove the prosthesis from your mouth, clean it and put it back at any time. At the same time, the mobile dental prosthesis without complete top has relatively good stability. Because it is connected to implants by special connections. Finally, because this model causes less damage to the gums than the fixed type implant, it puts less pressure on the jawbone. ### Full denture without maxillary roof with metal load The latest model of artificial teeth without a roof is also the model of artificial teeth with a metal load. A model whose main structure includes a thin and resistant metal frame or load that is firmly installed on the implants without covering the roof of the mouth. This metal bar increases durability, strength and better conformation to the jawbone, and at the same time, it is lighter than traditional models due to its minimal design. Metal-loaded prostheses are usually used in patients who need high strength and long life. Especially people who put more pressure on their teeth when chewing. Advantages of using dentures without a palate Using artificial teeth without a palate has several advantages. Benefits such as greater comfort in daily use, improved sense of taste and greater enjoyment of food, greater stability of the prosthesis in the mouth, more beautiful appearance and better performance. Below in this section, we provide you with more details about the benefits of using dentures without a palate. But if you want to get more information about the benefits of this denture, it is not bad to visit the article "A Systematic Review of Patient Satisfaction With Removable Partial Dentures (RPDs)". In the abstract of this article it is written: > RPDs generally exhibited high satisfaction rates, with reported rates ranging between 50% and 81%. Several factors influenced satisfaction. > > Partial dentures (of which dentures without a palate are one of them) usually show a high satisfaction rate. According to our research for the writing of this article, the reported rates are between 50% and 81%. Of course, many factors had an effect on satisfaction. ### More convenience in everyday use Mrs. Dr. Nazanin Banianian introduces one of the most important advantages of dental prosthesis without palate is the significant feeling of comfort that this prosthesis conveys to the patient. He explained to us that: > In traditional models, a large part of the roof of the mouth is covered by the acrylic base of the prosthesis, which may cause a feeling of suffocation, nausea and discomfort in the long term. But in the prosthesis without a roof, this problem is completely solved and the patient can use the prosthesis with ease, without anything disturbing the roof of his mouth. ### Improving the sense of taste and enjoying food more The roof of the mouth (palate) plays an important role in the sense of taste because it has taste-sensing nerve receptors. When this area is covered with the base of the prosthesis, The transfer of the sense of taste of food to the brain is reduced. But in a dental prosthesis without a palate, the roof of the mouth remains free and the patient can better understand the real taste of food. This feature dramatically increases the quality of life for people who care about the taste and pleasure of eating. ### Better stability and performance when talking and eating Prostheses without a palate are usually designed on the basis of implants, and this issue makes them much more stable than traditional models. So when the artificial tooth is well fixed in place, the patient can eat or speak without worrying about the tooth becoming loose or moving. This high performance, especially in social conditions and work environments, gives peace of mind and peace of mind. ### A more natural appearance and a more beautiful smile The delicate and precise design of roofless prostheses makes the appearance of the teeth look very similar to natural teeth. In these models, there is no thick and unpleasant part of acrylic on the roof of the mouth, and this not only creates a better feeling in the mouth, but also gives the patient a more balanced and natural smile. ### Increasing self-confidence and quality of life The combination of the above factors, such as comfort, better performance, aesthetic appearance and enhanced sense of taste, all lead to an increase in self-confidence in the patient. People who use this type of prosthesis are more satisfied with their mouth and teeth and participate in social, work and even family activities with more energy and peace. Disadvantages of dental prosthesis without palate Dentures without palatal teeth have many advantages and disadvantages. Disadvantages such as: **High cost**: Due to the need for implants and advanced equipment, this prosthesis is more expensive than traditional artificial teeth. **Surgery required**: For implant implantation, surgery is required, which may not be suitable for some patients. **Time-consuming treatment process**: It may take several months from start to finish. **Not suitable for all people**: People who do not have enough jawbones may not be suitable candidates. How to maintain and care for dentures without a palate Correct maintenance of dental prosthesis without a palate is necessary to increase its lifespan, better performance and maintain the health of the mouth and other teeth. Considering that these types of prostheses are usually fixed in the mouth using implants or designed in a mobile but precise manner, oral hygiene is more important than ever. You should also pay attention to the fact that lack of proper care may cause inflammation and infection of the gums after the implant, accumulation of bacteria, bad breath or even damage to the implant bases. Of course, fortunately, you can prevent these problems and maintain the health of the prosthesis by following a few simple and everyday principles. ### The most important tips for taking care of dentures without a palate - Daily washing of the prosthesis using a soft toothbrush and special denture cleaning materials (without using ordinary toothpaste, which may be abrasive). - Regular disinfection of the prosthesis (in mobile models) using special cleaning tablets or solutions recommended by the oral surgeon. - Brushing the gums, tongue and roof of the mouth to prevent the accumulation of bacteria and maintain oral hygiene. - Removing the prosthesis while sleeping (if it is mobile) so that the oral tissues rest and blood circulation is done better. - Using antibacterial mouthwash to prevent infection and gum inflammation. - Regular visits to the dentist to check the status of implants and prosthesis, necessary adjustments and check any wear or technical defects. - Avoiding eating very hard or sticky substances that may damage the prosthesis or its connections. What is the price of dental prosthesis without palate? The cost of producing and implementing a complete upper jaw prosthesis without roof depends on various factors. Factors such as the number of required implants (between 4 and 6), type of prosthesis material, implant brand and country of manufacture, dentist expertise and clinic equipment. Because the cost of this prosthesis may change over time, we have provided you with a complete description of the costs of this process, from the price of single tooth prosthesis to the price list of fixed tooth prosthesis in our clinic, on the page titled Dental prosthesis price. How to implement all types of dentures without a palate The process of making and installing this type of artificial tooth is divided into the following steps: ### Initial examination and preparation of diagnostic photos The process of implementing a dental prosthesis without a palate begins with an initial consultation and examination. At this stage, the dentist determines whether the patient is a suitable candidate for this type of prosthesis by examining the general condition of the mouth, gums and jawbone. Also, accurate diagnostic photos such as panorex and CBCT (three-dimensional image of the jaw bone) are also prepared from the person's jaw, so that the exact condition of the upper jaw bone, the position of the sinuses, and the available space for implant placement can be fully checked. ### Assessment of jaw bone conditions and treatment planning After reviewing the photos, the maxillofacial surgeon will evaluate the density and volume of your upper jaw bone. If there is enough bone for dental implants, detailed planning is done to place the implants. But if the bone does not have enough density, or the jawbone is depleted, it is possible that the dentist will determine that the person needs a jawbone transplant or a sinus lift to provide him with a suitable platform for implant placement. Choosing the type of prosthesis (fixed or movable) is also determined at this stage. ### Implant surgery At this stage, the surgery to plant implants in the upper jaw is performed. Depending on the patient's condition, between 4 and 6 implants are usually placed in the upper jaw bone, which form the main base for installing the prosthesis. This surgery is performed under local anesthesia or with sedation if needed, and if you are wondering how long the implant takes, you should know that this procedure takes between 1 and 3 hours. After the surgery, the patient must go through a period of rest and basic care so that he can return to his normal life after that. ### The period of healing and fusion of implants After the implants are implanted, the body needs time for the jawbone to naturally bond with the implants. This process, which is called "osseointegration", usually takes between 3 and 6 months. During this period, the patient must use a temporary prosthesis or a temporary cover and maintain the health of the surgical area by strictly following the doctor's instructions so that the healing process can be done properly. ### Molding and making the final prosthesis After the end of the healing period and ensuring the complete stabilization of the implants in the jaw bone, the molding stage begins. Molding is done accurately using specialized materials and sometimes with the help of digital implant technology to record the exact shape of the jaw, the position of the implants and the structure of the mouth. Then the final prosthesis is designed and made to be completely compatible with the patient's mouth in terms of shape, color, size and function. ### Installing the prosthesis and making final adjustments In the last step, the prepared prosthesis is placed on the implants and the doctor makes the final precise adjustments to ensure that the teeth are properly placed in the mouth, have proper contact with the gums, and do not put any pressure on the surrounding tissues. If needed, small changes are made to the form or height of the prosthesis so that the patient can easily eat, speak and smile.
