Denture
Prosthesis that replaces missing teeth. Removable from the oral cavity, hence it is studied under the discipline of Removable Prosthodontics.
Types:
Full/Complete - all the teeth in that jaw are missing
Partial - some teeth are missing
acrylic - made of plastic: pink, white and clear plastic with metal wires for retention
cobalt chromium - metal framework with plastic teeth
