To replace them as the teeth are essential to feed ourselves and keep our body healthy, using prosthetic, which are often fixed, other removable, and can replace one or more teeth, including crowns or caps exist, bridges, implants and dentures. But these latter especially needs some care.
Especially if you have recently been placed, you will be asked the patient to eat soft foods and foods that are incorporated by little harder. You must also chew soft food slowly to avoid damage to the structure of the mouth, and not abusing the prosthesis.
Joint Prosthesis
It is a combination of fixed and removable prosthesis prosthesis within the same arch, ie a part is cemented in the mouth and the other can take it and put the patient.
This type of prosthesis used some elements called attachments, which are used for fixation and stabilization of the prosthesis. They consist of a male part and a female part, each part of the prosthesis, so that unite them fit together. These elements are more aesthetic and functional hooks work best. If break them you should see a dentist.

Removable Partial Denture
Is one that can be removed by the patient, ie it will not cemented in the mouth, but does not replace all the teeth in an arch as the removable complete prosthesis, but some of them.
The longevity of it will depend on both the patient (degree of hygiene, care reviews, etc..) And the dentist (regular assessment of hard and soft tissues and adaptation and stability of the prosthesis).
The patient must be clear about some issues regarding integration and detachment of the prosthesis. To put it on you must take with both hands, leading to its rightful place and placed in its final position, but never bite with the opposing teeth to avoid distortion. To take it off the hooks are made with the thumbs, and with rising rates, following the correct path.
