Prostho 1-9

Question 1

1. Prosthesis

Answer 1

is an artificial replacement of an absent part of the human body,
a therapeutic device to improve or alter function.

Question 2

1.1 Dental Prosthesis, Restoration / Prosthetic appliance

Answer 2

All kind of tooth replacement which is in connection with the teeth.
It replaces a tooth, or it is anchored by teeth.
An artificial replacement for one or more natural teeth or part of a tooth, or associated structures, ranging from a portion of a tooth to a complete denture.
A broad term applied to any material or prosthesis, that restores or replaces lost tooth structure, teeth or oral tissues

Question 3

1.2 Dental Prosthesis

Answer 3

in a narrower sense is a medical device that replaces tooth or teeth,
and if necessary the associated structures as well,
with a biocompatible artificial material.

Question 4

2. Fixed dental prosthesis

Answer 4

any dental prosthesis that is cemented, screwed, mechanically attached or otherwise securely retained
to natural teeth, tooth roots, and/or dental implant abutments that furnish the primary support for the dental prosthesis.
A fixed prosthesis can be retained on implants by screw, and it can be then removed without the damage of the prosthesis.

Question 5

3. Removable dental prosthesis

Answer 5

any dental prosthesis that replaces one or more or all the teeth in a partially or totally edentulous arch.

It can be removed from the mouth and replaced at will, it can be readily inserted and removed without damaging the anchors or abutments

Question 6

4. Complete denture

Answer 6

A removable dental prosthesis that replaces the entire dentition and associated structures of the maxillae or mandible;
called a complete removable dental prosthesis.

Question 7

5. Removable partial denture

Answer 7

It is a dental device that restores one or more, but not all the natural teeth and associated structures,
its retention and support are provided by the natural teeth and/or mucosa.

It occupies more space in the mouth than the teeth, the mucosa and the edentulous ridge are also covered,
it is connected to the natural teeth,
and the patient himself can remove and insert it.

Question 8

6. Anatomical crown

Answer 8

That portion of a tooth, which is occlusal from the dentinoenamel junction,
covered by enamel,
it is appropriate for biting and/or chewing.

Question 9

7. Clinical crown

Answer 9

the portion of a tooth that extends from the occlusal table or incisal edge to the free gingival margin,
part of the tooth, which can be seen in the oral cavity.
Is suitable for chewing,
its length is changing through lifetime.

Question 10

8. Full coverage crown

Answer 10

an artificial replacement that restores the missing tooth structure by surrounding the appropriately prepared tooth, post and core or implant-abutment surface,
gives back its anatomical form and function,
it is cemented to the prepared tooth surface.

This way the crown replaces the tooth structure lost due to caries or other damage,
or it makes the tooth with discoloration, irregular shape / position more esthetic,
or provides anchorage for another prosthetic appliance.

Question 11

9. Partial veneer crown

Answer 11

is a restoration that restores all but one coronal surface of a prepared tooth,
usually not covering the buccal/labial surface,
this way the original color and shape of the tooth remains almost intact.
In the molar region sometimes instead of the vestibular surface the oral surface can be free of preparation and coverage.
