{{Info|'''Denturess''' 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.}}

Dentures replace the user's [[Table of Human Body Parts|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 80% Talking and ?%{{Check Tag|Value?}} Eating and, or a loss of 20% Talking and ?%{{Check Tag|Value?}} Eating when replacing a healthy jaw.  

These capacities, in turn, affects the following [[stats]]: {{#ask: [[Talking Importance::+]] OR [[Eating Importance::+]]|sort = Name}}. 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. Do note however, that any further reductions will directly affect the chance i.e. unlike a healthy pawn, a pawn with a denture has no additional buffer for other factors such as pain or sickness that might also reduce this value. 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%. {{Check Tag|Verification|All values are from before the addition of tongue and the resulting change in body part importance}}

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 [[Traits#Body modder|Body modder]] trait, and a mood penalty to anyone with the [[Traits#Body purist|Body purist]] trait.

Installing the part requires {{ticks|1500}} of work, ?x medicine of ?? quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 3.

Removing the part requires ? of work, ?x medicine of ?? quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of ?.

If the operation fails, the part has a chance{{Check Tag|What Chance?}} to be destroyed.

Dentures are also useful for [[Body modder]]s. Outside of [[Skills#Social|Social]] oriented colonists, dentures only incur a minor Eating penalty, and they can be installed without any research. This is often worth the positive [[mood]]let, going from -4 to +4 if they had no other artifical parts. However, a denture's debuff will be permanent unless a healer mech serum is applied. (after the denture is removed).
