Prostheses can be classified as:

• Fixed prostheses, those that rest on natural and / or artificial teeth (see implants and implantology): prosthetic restorations are permanently cemented or screw-retained.
• Removable prostheses: the prosthetic device is designed to be removed from the oral cavity. It is usually kept in place by hooks or brackets. Some teeth can be replaced by using a partial prosthesis, which can be made out of acrylic materials alone (generally PMMA), or it can be a hybrid combining a part made out of acrylic materials forming a single piece and a metallic support known as a Removable Partial Denture. Removable prostheses can replace the entire dental arch (total prostheses or dentures). All types of prostheses (fixed or removable) must be cleaned carefully every day.
