After
extraction of teeth, shrinkage of bone takes place for the first 4
- 5 months and hence a temporary denture is given to the patient.
This is called as immediate denture. This denture should be used
for 4 to 6 months and should be replaced.
Advantages
:
-
Patient
can enjoy his social life i.e If he waits for 6 months after
total extraction of teeth, he has to move around without
teeth.
-
Patient
can chew better ie. As the wound healing has nit taken place,
he cannot chew hard food but this denture helps him to eat
better.
-
From
medical point of view, this denture helps to stabilize his
lower jaw i.e if the patient stays without teeth for six
months, his lower jaw drifts forward.
