2500 B.C. Mexico - First partial denture: The first denture in history was found in Mexico and it was 4500 years old. It was made of wolves’ teeth. 600 B.C. Italy - Golden dental bridge: The Etruscans were known for their ability in manufacturing gold, but not everyone knows that they were the first ones who used it to produce dentures. 1500. Japan - Wooden denture: On the other hand, the Japanese, known for their minimalism, made their first dentures out of wood. 1780. USA - George Washington: George Washington wore his first denture, made of ivory. In the denture there was a small gap for the only remaining natural tooth of the President. 1800. Artificial teeth - Invention of vulcanite: Dentures became accessible to everyone. Thanks to the invention of vulcanite they were able to adapt to the anatomy of the patient, and cost half the price of those made of gold. 1900. Modern denture - Acrylic resin: In 1900 we finally got the modern dentures. Luckily, synthetic resin made dentures more beautiful, comfortable and functional. 1935. Fixodent is born: Fixodent is born. Now dentures can perform more like natural teeth.
