They are fixed prosthetic restorations that protect damaged or broken teeth. By placing a crown on a damaged or endodontically treated tooth, we strengthen it and thus maintain its aesthetics and functionality. Nowadays, crowns are made by either metal-ceramic or monolithic-zirconia materials with high aesthetics and durability in both cases.
It is a form of fixed prosthetic device that is cemented on the teeth (pontics) and are used to replace one or more missing teeth. Like the crowns, bridges can be made of metal-ceramic or monolithic-zirconia and give an absolute physical and functional effect.
When there are no teeth on which we could place a fixed prosthesis, such as a bridge, we make removable prosthetic devices. The partial denture comes in and out easily, covering the gap of the missing teeth. Correspondingly, when all the teeth are missing, total dentures are made to restore chewing, speech and, of course, facial aesthetics.
A development in prosthetics is the dental implant. By the help of dental implants, we can solve problems of missing teeth. Implants replace the root of missing teeth. Once the successful osseointegration is established, the final stage of the prosthetic procedure begins, which leads to the restoration of the missing tooth.
