    Study Notes

    Definition of Prosthodontics

    • Branch of dentistry focused on the design, creation, and fitting of artificial replacements for missing teeth and oral structures.
    • Involves restoring function, appearance, and health of patients through various prosthetic devices.

    • An artificial device that replaces a missing body part, such as teeth or limbs.
    • In dentistry, prostheses can include crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants designed to restore oral function.

    Complete Denture vs. Partial Denture

    • Complete Denture: Designed to replace all missing teeth in a dental arch; suitable for patients who are edentulous (have no natural teeth left).
    • Partial Denture: Used for patients who retain some natural teeth; replaces lost teeth while preserving remaining teeth and supporting structures.

    Sequelae of Tooth Loss

    • Tooth loss can lead to various complications such as:
      • Bone resorption, which alters jaw structure and reduces support for remaining teeth.
      • Changes in bite alignment, leading to discomfort and potential jaw issues.
      • Aesthetic concerns, including facial sagging and diminished self-esteem.

    Objective of Complete Denture

    • To restore oral function by enabling effective chewing and speaking.
    • To improve aesthetics by replacing missing teeth and supporting facial structures.
    • To enhance overall quality of life for edentulous patients through comfort and confidence.
