What are the 2 support types?
Tissue-supported
Implant-supported
What are the 2 design types?
Fixed
Removable
Relies fully on implants
Implant-supported
Combination of implants and soft tissue support
Tissue-supported
Permanent restoration, non-removable by the pt
Fixed
Removable by the pt, supported by implants and attachments
Removable
Rehabilitating a complete edentulous arch
Full-arch
Restoring one or more missing teeth
Partial
