Prosthesis is an artificial substitute for missing body parts. Prosthetics is the medical specialty dealing with prostheses. Ambroise Paré is credited with founding prosthetics as a science
Overdenture is removable dental prosthesis covering natural teeth or implants. Helps preserve alveolar bone and delay complete edentulism. Used for elderly patients with partial tooth loss
Vanilla RimWorld offers four types of prosthetics: wooden limbs, prosthetics, bionics, and archotech. Wooden limbs are 60% efficient and available from game start. Prosthetics research improves efficiency to 85%. Bionics are superior but expensive to craft. Archotech is highest-level, obtainable through trade and raids
Amputation is the removal of a limb by trauma, illness or surgery. Lower limb amputations include minor (digits) and major (below/above knee) types. Upper limb amputations cover hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder and forearm. Amputation can be congenital or result from medical conditions
Overdenture is a removable prosthesis supported by natural teeth or implants. Implant-supported overdentures use dental implants for stability. Tooth-supported overdentures rely on remaining teeth or roots. Maxillary overdentures use 4 implants for upper jaw. Mandibular overdentures use 4 implants for lower jaw
