How does the dentist should clean dentures? What are temporary dentures? Transitional dentures are temporary appliances that will ultimately be replaced and discarded. The need for this type of treatment arises when a patient is faced with the extraction of some or all of their remaining dentition , but does not want to be “toothless” while they heal and recover post-surgery. A partial denture that serves as a temporary prosthesis and allows for the addition of more teeth as more natural teeth are lost and that will be replaced once the tissue changes that follow the extraction of natural teeth have occurred.
Barry also has suggestions for what should be done while the bone in your mouth is healing after the extractions.
A transitional denture is one made without preliminary extraction of teeth. ADVANTAGES OF TRANSITIONAL DENTURES There are many advantages in the use of transitional (interim) dentures. A flipper is considered a temporary or transitional RPD to be worn while the tissue heals or other treatments are occurring, therefore it is much less expensive. It’s also known as a stayplate and is considered a ‘temporary partial’.
