For a short edentulous span think…
Implants/Fixed/Removable
For a medium edentulous space think…
Implants/Fixed
For a long edentulous space think…
Removable
When missing a single tooth you can restore with:
- Implant
- Conventional FDP
- Resin bonded FDP
- Removable Dental Prosthesis
Are single tooth implants successful?

- 97% 10 years
- Low caries
- Improved hygiene

- Psychological Advantage
For the posterior what is the max amount of pontics you would desire?

For the anterior what is the max amount of pontics you would desire?

What is the most common cause of FDP failure?
Caries

- 15% abutments will require RCT
How much distance would one want between implant and tooth?
1.5 - 2 mm
How much distance would one want between implants?
3 mm
For implant retained FDP - what are the advantages of splinting them together?
- Eases fabrication/delivery
- Strong sytem
If abutments are parallel then you do not have to splint them together - this aids in hygiene…
