Products Description
An acrylic denture with a titanium bar (Ti-bar)
An acrylic denture with a titanium bar (Ti-bar) is a type of implant-supported denture where a milled titanium bar is embedded
within an acrylic denture to provide added strength, stability, and support.
This combination offers a more durable and aesthetically pleasing solution compared to
traditional acrylic dentures or those relying solely on the acrylic base for support.
Acrylic:
A durable plastic material used to create the denture base and artificial teeth, mimicking the look and feel of natural teeth and gums.
Titanium Bar:
A milled titanium bar is embedded within the acrylic denture, acting as a framework for support and stability.
Implant-supported:
The denture is secured to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for the denture.
How it works:
The titanium bar is designed and fabricated using CAD/CAM technology, ensuring precision and fit.
The acrylic denture teeth are processed onto the titanium bar.
The entire structure is then fixed to the implants using screws.
Benefits:
Enhanced Durability:
Titanium is a strong and biocompatible material, providing superior strength and resistance to wear and tear compared to acrylic alone.
Improved Stability:The titanium bar helps distribute biting forces across multiple implants, increasing stability and reducing the risk of denture movement or dislodgement.
Aesthetic Appeal:
Acrylic provides a natural appearance, while the titanium bar can be designed to minimize its visibility and maximize aesthetics.
Potential for Cantilevering:
The bar design can allow for slight extensions of the denture teeth, improving chewing efficiency and aesthetics.
Longer Lifespan:
While acrylic teeth can wear down, the titanium bar can last a lifetime and may be repaired or modified as needed.
Cost-effective:
Compared to full zirconia restorations, titanium bar hybrid dentures can be a more affordable option.
