Jelly artificial tooth is one of the types of dental prosthesis, which is considered a very suitable option for people who have lost many teeth. This type of artificial teeth is a suitable choice for those who are unable to use services such as dental implants for any reason. Gel artificial tooth with a flexible and soft structure brings unparalleled comfort to its users. Because it does not put pressure on the gum, it allows them to eat easily and talk to others without fear of it loosening. Considering all these advantages, we decided to continue to examine the reasons why gel dentures can significantly improve your quality of life. However, we will not neglect to address the complications of using these bumps and introducing the best types. What is a gel denture? Gel artificial teeth are a new generation of artificial teeth that are produced using flexible and soft materials to replace lost teeth. Unlike normal dentures (which are made of hard materials), this type of denture does not put pressure on the gums and creates a more comfortable feeling for the person. The gel structure of these teeth makes them easily stick to the gums and stay in place. In addition, they are more resistant to breakage than other artificial teeth due to their high flexibility. **Jelly denture compounds** Gel dentures are a combination of different materials. Materials that give them flexibility and softness and make them feel more natural in the mouth. The main ingredients of these types of teeth include the following: ### Nylon base The nylon base is the main and key part of the jelly denture. Unlike traditional bases that are often made of hard materials, this base is made of nylon with very high elasticity. As a result, this special feature makes the nylon base adapt well to the shape and curvature of the gums and creates a more comfortable feeling for the person. The main responsibility of the nylon base in the gel denture is to bear and support the denture itself. That is, this base keeps the teeth in place and gives them stability. In other words, the nylon base acts as a solid foundation on which the artificial teeth are placed. Another use and advantage of nylon base is the possibility of making artificial teeth with complex and delicate designs. Due to the flexibility of this material, we can make artificial teeth in a way that perfectly matches the shape of a person's mouth and natural teeth. As a result, this makes gel dentures look very natural and beautiful. ### Acrylic material Another important component in making gel dentures is acrylic material. Materials that, due to their unique properties, play a very important role in the construction and performance of this type of artificial teeth. Acrylic is actually a synthetic polymer that is widely used in various industries, including dentistry, due to its high plasticity and good resistance to water. In the manufacture of gel artificial teeth, acrylic is usually used to make the crown of artificial teeth. That is, the same part that is similar to natural teeth and is visible in the mouth. Of course, according to its specific type, gel artificial teeth can also contain one of cobalt chrome, resin and porcelain compounds. But nylon base and acrylic materials are the most important. They are the main parts of this composition. Advantages of using gel dentures One of the most important advantages of this type of denture is its comfort. That is, just unlike traditional artificial teeth (which often cause sores and discomfort in the gums), gel teeth, due to their flexibility and softness, completely adapt to the gums and bring a great feeling of comfort to the person. Among other advantages of gel artificial teeth, we can mention their natural and beautiful appearance. Because these teeth are designed in such a way that they are in harmony with the person's natural teeth and give him an attractive and young smile.

Because the materials used in making these teeth are very resistant and resistant to impact and pressure. A feature that makes the life of a gel artificial tooth much longer than ordinary artificial teeth. Cleaning and maintenance of gel teeth is also very easy. Because you can easily clean them with a regular toothbrush and toothpaste. Without needing special care.

To do this, the dentist first takes a mold of your gums and remaining teeth using special molding materials. This mold gives the dentist a detailed map of your mouth so that he can design your denture accordingly. After preparing the mold, the dentist sends that mold to the dental laboratory. In the laboratory, dental technicians make a plaster model of your mouth using a prepared mold. Then, artificial teeth are made on this model using acrylic materials and nylon base. Acrylic material is used to make the crown of the teeth and create a natural appearance, and the nylon base is also used as the base of the artificial tooth and to connect the teeth together. After the denture is made, it is returned to the dentist for final adjustment. The dentist will place the denture in your mouth and adjust it so that it fits snugly over your gums and matches your remaining teeth. At this point, several adjustment sessions may be necessary for the denture to become fully accustomed to your mouth.
