Teeth and surrounding tissues can be damaged or completely lost due to various reasons. Along with the lost teeth, chewing functions, speech skills and aesthetic appearance are also lost at different rates. Dental prosthesis aims to give the person back the lost teeth both functionally and aesthetically. It also tries to maintain the healthy existence of other teeth and tissues in the mouth.

Dentures are generally prepared and applied in two different categories. Fixed dentures are glued into the mouth, but the person cannot remove these prostheses on their own. It is applied by covering the original teeth, which are cut at the required rate. Fixed dentures are usually differentiated from each other as bridges or crowns. Removable dentures can be generally classified as full dentures, partial dentures, temporary(immediate) dentures and implant dentures. Full dentures, also called dentures, are produced and applied separately to the upper and lower jaws after the full mouth impression of the person is taken.Partial dentures are also called hook dentures. It is applied in cases where some but not all of the original teeth are lost. Temporary dental prosthesis is applied to eliminate aesthetic concerns in the interim period until permanent prostheses are installed. Implant dentures are removable prostheses applied on implants that replace the tooth root.
