Titanium Hybrid Dentures
Titanium Hybrid Dentures combine a titanium alloy framework with denture materials, providing a stable, durable, and comfortable solution for patients with full or partial edentulism. The titanium frame offers excellent support, while the acrylic or ceramic overlay ensures aesthetics, making it an ideal choice compatible with various implant techniques.
Details About Titanium Hybrid Dentures
1. Types of Titanium Hybrid Dentures
- Acrylic-Overlay Titanium Hybrid Denture: With an acrylic overlay, ideal for areas with moderate bite force and offering a cost-effective solution.
- Ceramic-Overlay Titanium Hybrid Denture: With a ceramic overlay, providing a more natural tooth appearance, ideal for patients with high aesthetic needs.
2. Design Features & Benefits
The titanium hybrid denture design includes a high-strength titanium alloy framework that ensures structural stability. The overlay material, either acrylic or ceramic, can be chosen based on the patient’s needs, balancing function and aesthetics. The screw-retained design allows for easy adjustments and cleaning, avoiding issues with traditional dentures falling out or being difficult to clean.
3. Materials & Technology, Manufacturing Process
Using medical-grade titanium alloy and durable acrylic or ceramic materials, each titanium hybrid denture is precisely designed and fabricated with CAD/CAM technology to match the patient’s anatomy, ensuring perfect occlusal fit and natural aesthetic appeal.
4. Indicated Patients & Indications
Titanium hybrid dentures are ideal for:
- Patients with full or partial edentulism seeking a fixed restoration solution
- Patients with poor alveolar bone condition or needing full-arch restoration
