OBJECTIVES OF FIXED PROSTHODONTICS

30
Q

→ loss of one tooth can affect changes in positions and contact relationships of all teeth remaining in the mouth
→ to preserve the contact area
→ to maintain self-cleansing mechanism of tooth
→ to prevent food impaction

A

SIGNIFICANCE OF KEEPING ARCHES INTACT

31
Q

→ branch of Dentistry
→ restoration and maintenance of oral function, comfort,
appearance, health of the patient by the restoration of the natural teeth or replacement of missing teeth and contiguous oral and maxillofacial tissues with artificial substitutes

A

PROSTHODONTICS

32
Q

replacement of teeth for edentulous or partially edentulous patients by artificial substitutes that are removable from the mouth

A

REMOVABLE PROSTHODONTICS

33
Q

BRANCHES OF PROSTHODONTICS

A

REMOVABLE PROSTHODONTICS

FIXED PROSTHODONTICS

MAXILLOFACIAL PROSTHESIS

34
Q

→ can be removed from the mouth by the patient during oral hygiene procedures and other purposes
→ replaces teeth for partially edentulous patients
→ some or several teeth can be restored and replaced with
demountable appliance

A

REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE

35
Q

True or false

in cases where there is considerable loss of alveolar process
with loss of teeth, RPD is the best option considered

A

True

36
Q

→ removable partial prosthesis that is fully tooth supported
→ an erroneous name of removable partial denture

A

REMOVABLE BRIDGE

37
Q

→ replacement or restoration of teeth by artificial substitutes that are not removable from the mouth

A

FIXED PROSTHODONTICS

38
Q

True or false

for most patients, a fixed partial denture feels more normal than removable partial denture

A

True

39
Q

→ non-removable prosthesis that is rigidly attached to one or more abutment teeth to replace lost or missing teeth

A

FIXED PROSTHESIS OR FIXED BRIDGE

40
Q

also called fixed partial denture

A

FIXED PROSTHESIS OR FIXED BRIDGE

41
Q

→ usually two or more natural tooth or teeth that involves all or nearly all of the surfaces of the clinical crown of a tooth
→ supports the prosthesis to which it is attached

A

Abutment

42
Q

→ is the restoration, usually a crown
→ rebuilds the abutment tooth by which the bridge is attached to the abutment and to
which the pontic is connected

A

Retainer

43
Q

substitute for the lost tooth, both aesthetically and functionally

A

Pontic

44
Q

→ unites the retainer with the pontic
→ joins the individual units of the prosthesis
→ may be rigid (cast and soldered joint)
→ may be non-rigid (dovetail joint)

A

JOINT OR CONNECTOR

45
Q

replacement or restoration of teeth or both of stomatognathic and associated facial structures by artificial substitutes that may or may not be removed

A

MAXILLOFACIAL PROSTHESIS

46
Q

artificial replacement of a missing body part

A

PROSTHESIS

47
Q

→ artificial replacement that restores missing tooth structure by surrounding most or all of the remaining structures with a material such as:

o cast metal
o porcelain
o combination of materials such as metal and porcelain

A

CROWN

48
Q

extracoronal restoration that involves all or nearly all of the surface of the clinical crown of a tooth

A

Full Veneer Crown

49
Q

→ restoration that usually includes all but one surface of a tooth
→ three quarter crown

A

Partial Veneer Crown
