Removable dentures can be found in Partial dentures, here are parts of the natural Dentition replaced and anchored to an existing residual dentition and Full dentures, here are whole jaw replaced, subdivide. What is often not realized is that dentures deny the same or even greater effort in terms of care and hygiene need than natural teeth.
Prostheses are due to their design and their surface structure susceptible to plaque adhesion and thus bacterial contamination.
On the one hand, the plastic, with its micropores and its undercut areas, offers retention areas, and on the other hand, the metal clips act as "dirt traps". These areas promote the accumulation of Plaque and at a body temperature, these are the best conditions for possible bacteria to grow.
This can ultimately, for example, from Bad breath, to Inflammation of the gums (Gingivitis), Periodontal inflammation (Periodontal disease) or also Prosthetic intolerance reactions to be triggered.

Here one differentiates above all two different modes of operation the cleaning. There are denture cleaning devices that Ultrasound base work and others that magnetically through polishing needles clean the dentures.
With ultrasound devices, the prostheses placed in a water bath and the Ultrasound makes water vibrate offset, this also creates tiny water bubbles which also increase the cleaning power. The pressure waves in the water bath should Dental plaque, tartar and possible discoloration removed become.
$config[ads_text2] not foundDenture cleaning devices with polishing needles are also used Eddy current devices called. Here the prosthesis is placed in a water bath with cleaning additives. Additionally be Put polishing needles in the water bath. The device in the device causes the polishing needles contained in the water bath to vibrate, which then clean the prosthesis of dirt.
Which device you choose is an individual decision. Both prosthesis cleaning devices have devices that provide satisfactory cleaning. Not to be neglected, however price difference. Entry-level devices with ultrasound can be bought for less than € 100, whereas eddy current devices usually start from € 450, but a cleaning difference is likely here.
Alternatively, it is also possible to have your own dental prosthesis Clean professionally at your family dentist or dental laboratory allow.
