Private Removable Prosthetics
Kash Qureshi, clinical dental technician,
talks removable prosthodontics
Kash Qureshi is a clinical dental
technician (denturist) in the UK
who oversees and quality controls
over 3,000 fixed and removable
prosthesis, including implant
cases from a clinical and technical
aspect monthly at Bremadent
Dental Laboratory and Swissedent
Denture Clinic in London.

I often get asked, 'What are the private
options for removable prosthodontics?' I have
taken three of the most popular prosthetic
products from our dental laboratory.
In a future issue, I will discuss the most
popular products in fixed prosthodontics,
including a cheat sheet.
Swissedent:
Natural-looking handcrafted teeth,
for confidence and peace of mind

Swissedent Cosmetic
'Natural Looking' Dentures
Swissedent Cosmetic 'Natural Looking'
Dentures are designed for dentists to create
'private'-quality dentures with a certif ied
Swissedent-approved dental laboratory.
The Swissedent system utilises the patient's
facial and smile features, age and gender to
produce cosmetic natural-looking dentures that
restore physical appearance, optimum aesthetics,
function and comfort whilst providing a selfcleansing hygienic, retentive and stable denture
to perfection.

Swissedent promotes the 'dentogenic'
concept to allow dentists to work in harmony
with the patient's objective personality, which
implies anterior teeth are aesthetically positioned
to complement the patient's facial characteristics,
smile line, age and gender, by allowing natural
light to brighten or darken certain anterior
teeth, as with natural teeth. The 'dentogenic'
concept also generates the gingival components
of the denture by determining the gingival line,
contour, zenith, height and symmetry to create
unique smile characteristics.
With the help of the 'dentogenic' concept
there are four distinctive anterior styles-
masculine, feminine, universal and irregular
-that are arranged within the parameters of
the patient's unique 'dentogenic' concept. The
shape and mould of tooth is chosen via the
same 'dentogenic' concept to create a natural
look, unique to the individual.
Swissedent dentures not only provide
aesthetics, they promote hygiene. The root
contour, interdental areas and gingival necks
are created convexly to prevent food traps,
with added support from stippling to provide
a self-cleansing hygienic denture.
Physical appearance is easily restored with
Swissedent, because the smooth root contours
of the denture are rolled toward the periphery,
convexly constructed with prominent canine
roots that work in harmony with the 'dentogenic'
parameters, facial muscles and the soft tissues
to provide adequate tissue support.
With all of the factors incorporated,
this provides the basis for function with
balanced occlusion to maximise stability and
chewing efficiency.
