Treatment Details
Vacuum Prosthesis
What is Vacuum Prosthesis?
Vacuum prosthesis is a special type of prosthesis developed especially for patients who experience complete edentulism in the upper jaw and where classical full dentures have adhesion problems. These prostheses create a vacuum effect by creating an air gap between the palate surface and the prosthesis, so that the prosthesis does not move during chewing, speaking and laughing.
What is the Difference of Vacuum Prosthesis from Classic Prosthesis?
Classical full dentures sit on the jawbone and gums and usually try to hold on with adhesive creams. In vacuum prostheses, the surface of the prosthesis in contact with the palate is specially shaped and the prosthesis is vacuumed to the palate thanks to air evacuation channels. In this way, a much stronger adhesion is achieved without the need for adhesive.
Who is Vacuum Denture Suitable for?
- Patients with complete edentulism in the upper jaw
- Patients who cannot hold the classical denture and constantly move around
- Those who are uncomfortable with denture adhesive creams

How is Vacuum Denture Made?
Vacuum denture application is similar to the classical denture process. but it includes several special stages. First of all, your jaw structure and palate dimensions are evaluated in detail. The vacuum surface of the prosthesis is specially modeled by taking digital or classical measurements. During the trial phase, the prosthesis is placed in the mouth, vacuum areas are checked and necessary corrections are made. In the final stage, the prosthesis is delivered to the patient and usage training is given.
Vacuum Prosthesis Care
Vacuum prosthesis should be removed every day and cleaned with a special prosthesis brush and soap. Removing it at night is important for both resting the oral tissues and prolonging the life of the prosthesis. The compatibility of the prosthesis should be evaluated by a physician check every 6 months.
