In our clinic, we work every day to restore patients' smiles and dental health. Sometimes, the optimal solution for patients is mobile and semi-mobile prosthetic work, which is customized for each individual.
Our specialists provide all necessary instructions and recommendations during the visit to the clinic to ensure that the mobile prosthesis remains in perfect condition for as long as possible.
What Happens in the First Days of Adjustment?
It is recommended to wear the prosthetic work continuously for the first 3–5 days during the adjustment process. Here’s what you might experience during this period:
Speech difficulties, it is advisable to speak as much as possible and read aloud to help retrain your diction.
Excessive salivation, this is normal, and saliva production will regulate itself within a few days.
Unusual sensations in the tongue, your tongue also needs a few days to adjust. Initially, it may occupy any available space, but don’t worry, everything will return to normal after the adjustment period.
Gum pain, if it does not subside within 2–3 days, a visit to the clinic for adjustments is necessary (this is a common situation, so there’s no need to worry).
Cleaning Mobile and Semi-Mobile Prosthetic Work
The prosthetic work should be cleaned outside the oral cavity, use a soft brush with water and soap or non-abrasive toothpaste to clean all surfaces of the prosthesis.
We recommend using a bowl of water or a towel placed in the sink while cleaning the prosthetic work, this precaution ensures that if the prosthesis slips, it won’t get damaged.
Before the actual cleaning, you can soak the prosthetic work in a glass of water with a dissolved effervescent denture-cleaning tablet for 3–5 Minutes. During this time, it is recommended to clean the gums using a gauze pad soaked in mouthwash, salt water, or saline solution.
The use of adhesive pastes should only be done under the direct recommendation of the dentist.
Cleaning Mobile and Semi-Mobile Prosthetic Work
When not wearing fixed prosthetic work (usually during sleep), it should be stored in a glass of water to prevent deformation. The pink material used in its construction is hydrophilic, meaning the denture must always remain in a moist environment.
If you have any other questions about fixed mobile prosthetic work, don’t hesitate to ask your dentist!
