Study Notes
Fixed Partial Denture: Treatment Planning for Single Tooth Restoration
- Successful cemented restorations rely on effective plaque-control programs.
- Factors influencing restoration design include esthetics, plaque control, and financial considerations.
- Evaluation of teeth for potential restorations should consider the oral environment, not just tooth destruction.
- Extensive decay, plaque, and decalcification can result in poor candidates for crowns.
Destruction of Tooth Structure
- Significant prior destruction necessitates reinforcement of remaining tooth structure with cast metal or ceramic restorations.
- Pin-retained amalgam provisional restorations may be used to preserve teeth until conditions improve for definitive restoration.
Esthetics
- Consider the aesthetic impact of restorations, especially for visible teeth.
- Patients’ preferences and expectations must be factored into treatment options.
- Partial coverage restorations can be sufficient in less visible areas, while full coverage, like ceramic, is preferable where invisibility matters.
Financial Considerations
- Choice of restoration is also impacted by financial factors; all-ceramic crowns are frequently utilized based on cost and aesthetic requirements.
- Patient cooperation and hygiene practices significantly influence the longevity of restorations.
