Low Cost Fixed Partial Denture

Another possibility of an Affordable Fixed Partial Denture option is to use an indirect technique to fabricate a framework using carbon fibers. The said framework is used for the buildup of the Fixed Prosthesis which is subsequently bonded to the abutments with dual cure resin cement.

Low Cost Removable Partial Denture

Acrylic Resin Removable Partial Denture is an affordable alternative to cast framework - removable partial dentures. It is widely used especially in other countries because it is relatively inexpensive. It is usually indicated as a provisional denture because it has poor mechanical qualities, uncomfortable to wear and conducive to poor oral health. It is used when financial restrictions prohibits more definitive denture treatment.

Affordable Overdenture

Attachment retained overdenture is another affordable denture option for definitive treatment. These are the points to consider in attachment retained overdenture.
1. The design should be simple.
2. Only teeth with good periodontal health should be kept.
3. The space available for denture, including attachments, metal framework, and denture teeth should be evaluated carefully.
4. Adequate retention of the copings should be obtained to decrease the risk of cementation failure, intraradicular caries and root fractures. In patients who can not afford dental implants, it is better to keep small roots, which do not allow preparation to provide a post with proper retention and stability.

Affordable Removable Partial Dentures

Of all the removable partial dentures, the most affordable is Flippers. It also known as assembled removable partial denture. It can act as an immediate partial denture. While it is the least expensive, Flippers do have disadvantages. The denture base is brittle and due to their irregular shape, these partial dentures tend to break frequently especially those made for the lower arch. In order to counteract their tendency to break the acrylic is usually built fairly thick which take someone "getting used to."
