Removable dental prosthesis (appliance) replacing one or more natural teeth.
PARTIAL DENTURES
A partial denture replaces missing teeth so that the remaining teeth, oral tissues and cheeks have support. A partial denture also will allow the patient to chew and speak properly and smile with confidence. A partial denture, like a complete denture, is made out of acrylic but unlike a denture it also uses a metal framework that attaches to the remaining teeth by use of clasps or precision attachments, which attach to crowns and give a partial denture a tighter fit and a more natural look. A partial denture is fabricated by taking impressions after the necessary work has been done on the remaining natural teeth. A partial denture will be checked for any discomfort or pressure. If a partial denture does not fit properly, a clasp or tooth can break as an end result. A partial denture must be removed before proper brushing can be accomplished. The teeth, gums and partial denture must all be cared for by the patient. Like a complete denture, regular examinations by a hygienist and dentist are important to check the supporting teeth for decay and periodontal disease and to check the continuing fit and comfort of the partial denture. See also "Dentures."
Partialism
Fetishism of the type in which the fetishistic attachment is not to an object but to a part of the partner's body, for example the hair or, in the case of acrotomophilia, the stump of an amputated limb.
