Ek ya kuch dant nikal gaye aur puri denture lagwane ki zaroorat nahi — is situation mein log confuse ho jaate hain। Implant? Bridge? Ya partial denture? Dr. Ritu Goyal, MDS is guide mein partial denture ko poori tarah samjha rahi hain — kya hai, kab sahi hai, aur care kaise karein।
Partial Denture Kya Hota Hai
Partial denture ek removable appliance hai jo tab use hoti hai jab kuch dant missing ho lekin sab nahi। Yeh baaki bache danton ka sahara le ke muh mein tikta hai। Ise nikala ja sakta hai — saaf karne ke liye aur raat ko।
Yeh complete denture se alag hai — complete denture tab lagti hai jab muh mein koi dant nahi hota।
Partial Denture Ke Types
1. Cast Metal Partial (Chrome-Cobalt)
Sabse zyada use hone wala. Metal framework pe acrylic teeth. Mazboot, lambi chalti hai — 5-8 saal ya zyada। Metal clasps baaki danton se tiki rehti hai।
2. Acrylic Partial (Flipper)
Poori plastic — metal nahi। Theek hai temporary use ke liye ya ek-do dant ke liye। Halki lekin kam durable। Zyada adjustments chahiye।
3. Flexible Partial (Valplast/Thermoplastic)
Rubber-like material, comfortable, koi metal nahi dikhta। Natural dikh ta hai lekin zyada mahanga। Long-term mein adjust karna mushkil हो sakta hai।
Comparison: Cast metal — durable, affordable. Acrylic — temporary solution. Flexible — cosmetically best lekin cost zyada. Dentist aapki situation dekh ke recommend karega kaunsa better rahega।

- ✅ Regular checkup — fit adjust hota rehna chahiye
