Hybrid denture is a complete denture that fits and clips onto special restraining means, that is to say, precision joints that rest on either the teeth left in the mouth (usually 1-4) or implants placed on the jaw for this purpose . This type of denture has a strong advantage in the retention area compared to the classical denture that rests only on the soft tissues of the mouth. For this reason, hybrid denture also has a considerable advantage in the field of patient psychology. The same applies to patients who, due to intense reflex, can not easily become accustomed to classical, bulky dentures.

Those who wear a mobile denture usually suffer from objective difficulties in chewing and speaking, as well as from pain and suffering due to their loose or poor application. Most patients belonging to this category, who have remained without their own natural teeth for many years have suffered a loss of the jaw bone, making it impossible for the denture to function smoothly. Problems such as intense denture mobility and pain in various sensitive parts of the patient’s mouth are very common. These are especially true for the lower jaw.

By placing a few implants, usually 2 to 4 in the lower jaw and 4 in the upper jaw, the patient will obtain a denture of smaller size, without the annoying pallatal extension, which mainly buckles firmly, does not move, and naturally does not move during operation and does not leave food to accumulate at its base. Denture retention on the implants is through special snaps, which can be spherical joints, special bars or other forms.

The result is the patient’s absolute sense of security, which can work without problems and remove denture whenever he / she asks for it (and of course for cleaning). With little pressure, the denture is removed from the patient for cleaning the area. This is the simplest and most economical solution with implants to restore total teeth loss, especially to denture instability problems due to bone absorption. The correct and stable denture application eliminates the need for an adhesive.

It is an ideal solution for the treatment of totally edentulous patients with extensive soft and hard tissue deficits, which should be restored except for the teeth and the structures of the mouth from tissue losses. It is also an emergency solution in cases where, due to advanced jaw bone absorption, we can not place implants in the posterior area of ​​either the upper or lower jaw in order to construct an immobile prosthesis.
