Fixed Prosthodontics is the branch of Prosthodontics that deals with replacement of missing tooth or teeth and associated structures by means of prosthesis that can't be removed by the patient Biologically acceptable fixed Prosthodontic treatment demands that prepared teeth be protected and stabilized with provisional restorations that resemble the form and function of the definitive Prosthesis. They are essential in the maintenance of periodontal health and protection of pulp from thermal insult. This is especially useful with treatment involving esthetic need of the patient. Variety of materials and techniques are available for fabrication of temporary fixed prosthesis. It may be preformed or customized. It is the choice of the Prosthodontist to select an appropriate material and technique to fabricate the interim restoration based on the clinical presentation and patients need. Recent materials and advanced techniques are described here with illustrated pictures in a very simple, easy to understand and self explanatory manner. This book may be a useful guide for undergraduates, postgraduate students, laboratory assistants as well as clinicians
The word esthetics is derived from the Greek word "AISTHETIKOS" meaning perceptive. It pertains to the sense of beautiful or the science which deduces from nature and taste, the rules and principles of art. The term esthetic was coined in 1750 to designate the science of sensuous knowledge which gave beauty in contrast to the science of logic which gave truth. The most important consideration during complete denture construction is the restoration of last esthetics. Esthetics goes much further than the mere placement of the teeth on the occlusal rims, size, shape, color of artificial teeth and denture bases are important in construction of an esthetic denture. Different people have expressed different opinion for making esthetically pleasing dentures. Young stressed the importance of corresponding face from and tooth form. Devan & Earl Pound have emphasized the importance of corresponding selection, placement & position of artificial teeth in order to make natural looking dentures.
Successful application of preservative dentistry principles should lead to maximum conservation of sound tooth structure, minimal use of anesthetic, minimal pain, a reduced risk for endodontic treatment, tooth extraction and an increase in the mean survival time of affected teeth.Restorative idea described here is an innovative, largely painless, minimal intervention approach for restoring lost dental structures, particularly in outreach situations where highly trained dental personnel and facilities needed and clinical equipments are not readily available or affordable. There is worldwide interest in and increasing usage of conservative approach for the restoration of primary and permanent teeth. Present book has described self explanatory, biological friendly, inexpensive, less time consuming approach with higher success rate and minimal complications. This book is useful for students, practitioners, researchers teachers and oral care workers.
The delivery of care for patients missing one or all of their teeth very often requires implants to restore function, esthetics, hard and soft tissue contours, speech, and intraoral health. The delayed occlusal loading protocol, either 1- or 2-stage approach, has been evaluated for more than 30 years by a number of clinical settings and situations. However, in some patient conditions, the delayed healing process can cause psychological, social, and/or functional problems. A full range of treatment options relative to the initial hard and soft tissue healing is available. Immediate restoration of a patient after implant surgery is one of these alternatives. A benefit/risk ratio must be assessed for each patient condition to ascertain whether immediate occlusal loading is a worthwhile alternative. The greater the benefit and/or the lower the risk, the more likely immediate loading is to be considered. Present book is a very useful tool for the students, practitioners, academicians and all those who are concerned with dental implants as the best choice for a missing dentition.
