Advantages Of Flexible Denture Over Acrylic Denture

Abstract

In the evolving field of dental prostheses, the study compares the advantages of flexible dentures to conventional acrylic dentures. Comfort, durability, visual appeal, patient satisfaction, and the effect on dental health when using these two dentures are crucial factors covered in this study. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 2021 was used to conduct a thorough quantitative analysis on a substantial dataset of 600 records. With the help of this analytical method, the data may be examined more thoroughly and rigorously, leading to a deeper comprehension of the subtleties of denture preferences and effects. According to preliminary findings, flexible dentures have several advantages over acrylic ones. The capacity of flexible dentures to conform to the oral anatomy, which lessens discomfort and the possibility of sores brought on by rigid prosthesis, has been demonstrated to provide greater levels of comfort. They showed improved longevity, outlasting acrylic dentures in terms of resistance to breakage and wear. Flexible dentures are said to provide a more natural appearance in terms of aesthetics, which raises patient satisfaction. Flexible dentures are less obvious because of the translucent material's ability to resemble the colour of the gums, which increases patient pleasure and trust. However, the research does not suggest a single, universally applicable answer. It emphasises the need for individualised examinations because the ideal denture type may vary according to a person's oral health, lifestyle choices, and personal preferences. The study concludes that although flexible dentures provide many advantages, the choice should always be made considering the patient's unique circumstances. By adding to the body of already
