Preclinical Fixed Prosthodontics Dr. Safaa Amir Heiba BDS, MSc, U of K Introduction:  Prosthodontics: Is a branch of dentistry that concerns about the replacing teeth and contiguous tissues or jaw structures by artificial devices to restore oral function, comfort, appearance and health of the patient. Introduction:  Prosthodontics: It has three main branches: Removable, fixed, and maxillofacial prosthesis. Introduction:  Fixed Prosthodontics: Is a branch of prosthodontics that concerns about the replacing and/or restoration of teeth by artificial substitute (cast prosthesis) that can not be removed by the patient. Introduction:  Fixed Prosthodontics: Is a technique used to fabricate a fixed prosthodontic appliance that is securely fixed to natural tooth/teeth or screwed to one or more dental implants/implant abutments to restore teeth function and esthetics, it can not be removed by the patient. Introduction: Aims fixed prosthodontics:  Restore function of teeth; mastication and speech.  Restore esthetics.  Maintain oral health and integrity. Introduction: Indications for fixed prosthodontics:  Badly broken down teeth.  Primary trauma.  Tooth wear.  Hypoplastic conditions (congenital or acquired). Introduction: Contraindications for fixed prosthodontics: There is no absolute contraindication for fixed prosthodontics however it is better to put the following situations in consideration: Introduction: Contraindications for fixed prosthodontics:  When a more conservative approach can provide satisfactory results. Introduction: Contraindications for fixed prosthodontics:  Patient’s age and medical condition: young patients below 18 have large dental pulps and fixed prosthesis may cause them gingival recession. While other patients; elderly and medically compromised, may not tolerate long treatment sessions. Introduction: Contraindications for fixed prosthodontics:  Patients with bad oral hygiene; it should be controlled first. Introduction: Types of cast restorations:  Crowns; partial or full coverage crowns.  Bridges.  Inlays.  Onlays.  Veneers. Introduction: Crown: It is a restoration that restores missing tooth structure of three or more axial surfaces and the occlusal/incisal surface of a tooth with a material such as cast metal alloy, ceramics, resin or a combination of materials. Introduction: Crown:  Anatomical crown: it is highest/topmost part of a tooth occlusal to the cementoenamel junction.  Clinical crown: It is the part of the tooth that is visible in the mouth. Introduction: Crown:  Dental crown: it is an artificial replacement that restores missing tooth structure by surrounding part or all of the remaining structure with a material such as cast metal alloy, metal ceramics, ceramics, resin, or a combination material. Introduction: Bridge: It is also called fixed partial dentures. It is a dental prosthesis that is luted, screwed, or mechanically attached or otherwise securely retained to natural teeth, tooth roots, and/or dental implants/abutments that provide the primary support for dental prosthesis and restoring teeth in partially edentulous arch; it can not be removed by the patient. Introduction: Bridge: Consists of three components:  Retainer.  Pontic.  Connector. Introduction: Inlay: It is a fixed intracoronal restoration (not including the cusps), a dental restoration made outside of the tooth to correspond to the form of the prepared cavity; which is then luted into the tooth. Introduction: Onlay: It is a fixed partial coverage restoration that restores one or more cusps and adjoining occlusal surfaces or the entire occlusal surface and is retained by mechanical or adhesive means; Introduction: Veneer: It is thin lamination, shell-like dental material bonded to one side of the tooth to improve its appearance and/or restore it’s normal contour. Introduction: Classification of fixed restorations: According to retention: Either:  Extracoronal restorations.  Intracoronal restorations.  Intraradicular restorations. Introduction: Classification of fixed restorations: Extracoronal restorations: Either:  Full coverage restorations.  Partial coverage restorations. =========================== =========================== =======++++++++++++++++++== ===]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] ]]]]]] Introduction: Classification of fixed restorations: Intracoronal restorations:  Inlays.  Onlays. Introduction: Classification of fixed restorations: Intraradicular restorations: Either:  Post-retained restorations.  Implants. Introduction: Classification of fixed restorations: According to material used: Either:  Ceramic restorations.  Metal-ceramic restorations.  Full metal restorations.  Resin restorations. Introduction: Classification of fixed restorations: According to position: Either:  Anterior restorations  Posterior restorations Introduction: Classification of fixed restorations: According to time: Either:  Temporary restorations.  Permanent restorations.
