They are made from a material known as vulcanite, which is extremely hard and has a very high melting point.

Before the 1850s, dentures were made from ivory or costly materials, and in some countries, the process was a painful one. But in the United States, vulcanite was cheaper than ivory and quickly replaced ivory dentures as a more affordable alternative.

The advent of anaesthesia meant that Vulcanite dentures were widely available for a fraction of the cost of ivory dentures. This newer material also meant that dentures were more affordable to the middle class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vulcanite was initially a popular material for dentures, but became controversial after its patent expired. In 1869, Dr. J. B. Da Camera, Jr. complained that the use of vulcanite in dentures had decreased the quality of mechanical dentistry. With a few weeks of training, the creation of false teeth was relatively inexpensive, and many patients could afford them. In fact, the cost of Vulcanite dentures was as low as $30 for a dental clinic and $8-10 from individuals outside the dental profession.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
