Dentures are an artificial body part that replaces a pawn's jaw. Dentures have 80% efficiency leading to reduced Talking and Eating efficiency on colonists that have them.

Acquisition[edit]

Unlike most other prostheses, dentures don't have a separate item form. Instead, they only exist as a condition applied to a pawn. They require no material other than the medicine used in the operation. Simply order the surgical operation on a pawn to install them and the condition will be applied.

Summary[edit]

Dentures replace the user's entire jaw. Dentures have a part efficiency of 80%. This partially replaces the functionality of a jaw - when coupled with the jaw body part having a Talking importance of 100% and an Eating importance of 90%, it results in restoring 64% Talking and 72% Eating and, or a loss of −36% Talking and −28% Eating when replacing a healthy jaw.

These capacities, in turn, affects the following stats: Conversion Power, Train Animal Chance, Eating Speed, Tame Animal Chance, Trade Price Improvement, Social Impact, Negotiation Ability. The Eating loss results in in a −19% reduction in Eating Speed. The end result of the Talking loss depends on the skill.

Tame Animal Chance and Train Animal Chance will remain unaffected as the 20% reduction is within the allowed defect of the stat. However, any further loss, such as from pain or sickness, will directly affect both chances.
Other affected stats typically have a 5% allowed defect and 90% weighting, thus Negotiation Ability, Trade Price Improvement and Social Impact are only reduced by approximately −14%.

Installing dentures results in −19% character quality and thus a 19% reduction in the affected individual's pawn value.

As an artificial part, dentures will give a mood buff to anyone with the Body modder trait, and a mood penalty to anyone with the Body purist trait.

Installation[edit]

Installing the part requires 1,500 ticks (25 secs) of work, 2x medicine of herbal quality or better, and a Medical skill of 3.

Removing the part requires 2,000 ticks (33.33 secs) of work, 1x medicine of herbal quality or better, and has no Medical skill requirements.

If the operation fails, the medicine will be destroyed.^[Verify]

Analysis[edit]

Out of the two available jaw replacements (the other being a Bionic jaw) dentures are most certainly the more cost effective option, both because of its cost being a unit (or two) of medicine and also because it lowers the value of the affected pawn by approximately 30%. however, the reduced eating speed means this is usually not worth installing them on all of your pawns. Because of this, in the early game dentures make a fine replacement for a destroyed jaw on any pawns who don't regularly make use of their social skill.

Dentures are also useful for Body modders. Outside of Social oriented colonists, dentures only incur a minor Eating penalty, and they can be installed without any research. This is often worth the positive moodlet, going from −4 to +4 if the body modder had no other artificial parts. However, a denture's debuff will be permanent unless a healer mech serum is applied (apply the serum after removing the denture).

-Short of a [[healer mech serum]], there is no other way to repair a missing or shattered jaw. Thus, dentures should be installed on any colonist with that issue.

This is often worth the positive [[mood]]let, going from -4 to +4 if they had no other artifical parts.
