WILL PARTIAL DENTURES CAUSE GUM RECESSION?

Dr. Suresh Amarnathan, BDS.,

Jun 26, 2023

Gum Recession (or) Receding gums is a condition in which the gum tissues pull
away from the tooth surfaces. As the gum margins are refracted, the root
surfaces of teeth are exposed. Generally, it happens due to infections in the
gums. Besides gingival infections and dental illnesses, gum recession is caused
by medical complications like HIV and diabetes. 

Surprisingly, ill-fitting dentures also contribute to pulling back the gum from
tooth surfaces. Partial dentures stand on top in this case.


HOW DO WEARING PARTIAL DENTURES CAUSE GUMS TO RECEDE?

The replacement teeth in partial dentures are attached to a custom-made flat
plastic plate that sits inside the mouth. The same applies to single-tooth
dentures and complete dentures. Unlike natural teeth or implant teeth, denture
teeth are not anchored in the bone. Instead, they rest on the gums.

So the denture teeth apply constant pressure on the gum tissues. In such
circumstances, the gums are stressed while closing the jaw, even though you
remove the fake teeth while eating and sleeping.

On the other hand, the clasp on partial dentures that keep the appliance in
place by wrapping around the neighboring teeth irritates the gums further.

Similarly, wearing ill-fitting dentures contribute to trapping food particles
against the gums. It paves the way for bacteria build up on gum margins and
infect the gum tissues.

Gum tissues suffer substantially from such persistent irritations, bacterial
invasion, and pressure exerted. Consequently, they become weak and end in
gingival recession.


WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE AFTEREFFECTS OF RECEDING GUMS?

As gingival recession exposes the sensitive areas of teeth covered by gums, deep
pockets between teeth and gums will develop. It acts as a breeding ground for
food debris, and microbial agents making the gum infection progresses to an
advanced stage. It is followed by complications like

 * Severe bad breath
 * Bone loss
 * Teeth mobility
 * Tooth loss


WHAT SHOULD A PARTIAL DENTURE WEARER DO TO PREVENT GUM RECESSION?

Adjusting the partial denture to ensure the clasp does not irritate the gum
tissues can help you to avert gum recession to a certain extent. Likely,
maintaining an excellent oral hygiene routine and sanitizing the fake teeth set
also aid in preventing gingival recession.

Make sure that the prosthetic device has been fitted perfectly. If you notice it
becomes loose, consult your dentist to get a new one. It is because people who
wear loose partials are more likely to develop receding gums.

Note: Getting dental implants is a wise choice to avoid gum recession due to
partials. As the teeth implants are rooted in the jaw bone, they prevent gums
from shrinking. Shrinking gums is the reason why dentures become loose over
time.


BOTTOM LINE

The receding gums do not grow back, but you can get therapeutic solutions like
gum graft surgery to repair gum recession. Meanwhile, it would help if you
indulged in essential denture care activities to avoid gum recession brought on
by the dental appliance.
