Abstract
A dental prosthetic device having a base constructed of an inexpensive remoldable material to allow for inexpensive and quick fitting and refitting to accommodate changes in dental structure. Harder tooth-like structures are associated with a mounting surface of the base, such as by overmolding the base onto ends of the structures, so that when the device is placed over a dental arch within a user's mouth, the tooth-like structures facilitate biting and chewing in the manner of teeth. A carrier is integrated in or affixed to one or more of the tooth-like structures and carries a treating agent. The treating agent is configured for controlled release over time through reaction with or dissolution by saliva in the mouth or by mechanical abrasion of the agent. The treating agent may be absorbable by mucous membranes in the mouth and may provide medicants, flavorings, aromatics, or the like.
