DEFINITION;
Fixed prosthodontics is the specialized area of dentistry devoted to the replacement of missing teeth with cast prostheses that are permanently cemented in place.

8. Treatment Options Extracoronal Restorations Ceramic Onlay Gold Onlay
Partial Veneer Crowns (3/4, 7/8)
Full Gold Crown
Porcelain/Metal Crown (Porcelain Fused to Metal)
All-Ceramic Crown
Ceramic Veneer

9. Indications for Fixed Prosthodontics
One or two adjacent teeth are missing in the same arch.
The supportive tissues are healthy.
Suitable abutment teeth are present.
The patient is in good health and wants the prosthesis placed.
The patient has the skills and motivation to maintain good oral hygiene.
Fixed prosthodontics is also known as “crown and bridge.”
Fixed prosthetics require good home care by the patient.
The supportive tissues must be healthy, because they will be supporting the bridge. 9

10. Contraindications for Fixed Prosthodontics
The supportive tissues are diseased or missing.
Suitable abutment teeth are not present.
The patient is in poor health.
The patient is not motivated to have the prosthesis placed.
The patient has poor oral hygiene habits.
The patient cannot afford the treatment.
Would a patient with severe periodontal disease be good candidates for fixed prostheses? Why or why not?
If suitable abutment teeth are not present, what is another option for the patient? (Removable prosthesis or implants.) 10

11. Terminologies
Inlay
Covers a portion of the occlusal and proximal surface
Onlay
Covers proximal surfaces and most or all of the occlusal surface
Porcelain veneers
Thin shell-like covering placed to improve the appearance of anterior teeth.
Full crown
Completely covers the anatomic crown of an individual tooth
Three-quarter crown
Covers the anatomic crown of a tooth except for the facial portion
Cast restorations are also known as indirect restorations.
They are fabricated outside the patient’s mouth, in a dental laboratory.
Where is the proximal surface?
Why can’t veneers be placed on posterior teeth? 11

12. Inlay;
Covers a portion of the occlusal and proximal surface
An inlay involves the proximal surface and only a portion of the occlusal surface. 12

13. Onlay;
Covers proximal surfaces and most or all of the occlusal surface
An onlay involves the proximal surface and most or all of the occlusal surface.
Cusp tips are involved. 13

14. Porcelain veneers
Are thin shell-like covering placed to improve the appearance of anterior teeth. A B
Veneers are placed to cover defects such as hypocalcification and intrinsic stains.
What is an intrinsic stain? (A stain that comes from the inside.)
An opaquer may be used to block out any underlying color or structural defects.
The cement used for veneers may also be shaded to enhance the color match.
What is the best lighting for shade selection? 14

15. Completely covers the anatomic crown of an individual tooth
FULL CROWN;
Completely covers the anatomic crown of an individual tooth
Which anterior tooth might this be? (Canine.)
The metal “ring” is healthier for the gum tissue because it is not as “bulky” as the porcelain fused to metal.
gold crowns Porcelain fused to metal full crown 15

16. Types of Multiple Tooth Restorations
Fixed bridge
A prosthesis for missing teeth within the same arch
Splint
A prosthesis where multiple crowns are tied together for support without any pontics
Resin-bonded bridge
Also known as a Maryland bridge, with winglike extensions coming from the proximal sides
Combination; Conventional and Maryland bridge
A porcelain jacket crown is a very thin metal shell covered by layers of porcelain to resemble the shading and translucence of the enamel of a natural tooth.
A fixed bridge contains a series of two or more units and is cemented permanently in place.
Winglike extensions of the resin-bonded bridge are bonded onto the lingual surfaces of the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth. 16

17. Conventional four unit porcelain fused to metal bridge
How many units are involved in this bridge?
What are the components of the bridge? (Two pontics, two abutments.)
Which teeth are being replaced? 17

18. Porcelain Fused To Metal Crown (PFM)
Porcelain is baked to a thin cast metal coping

19. Porcelain Veneers & Fixed Partial Denture

20. Porcelain is baked over a cast metal framework
Fixed Partial Denture
Porcelain is baked over a cast metal framework

21. Fixed Partial Denture (Gold)

22. Resin bonded bridge/ Maryland bridge
This is an example of a Maryland bridge.
Wings are bonded onto the lingual surfaces of the adjacent teeth.
Would a Maryland bridge be placed on the posterior teeth? Why or why not? 22

23. Fixed Partial Denture attached to implants

Fabricate a wax pattern exactly like the desired crown,

31. 6. Invest & Cast Crown
Pattern is burned out in oven & molten gold flowed into the void in the ring, creating the casting as shown above
