Dental prostheses and dental implants

الملخص

Fixed prosthodontics, encompassing crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays, plays a critical role in the restoration and functional rehabilitation of teeth. In modern dental implantology, fixed prostheses supported by implants offer a long-lasting solution for partial or complete edentulism. This paper provides an overview of the historical development, anatomical considerations, diagnostic techniques, and materials involved in fixed prosthodontics. Furthermore, it discusses contemporary technologies such as CAD/CAM and 3D imaging, emphasizing their role in enhancing treatment precision and aesthetic outcomes. The integration of titanium and zirconia implants is examined alongside challenges in clinical planning and patient-specific considerations. This review aims to assist dental professionals in understanding the multifaceted approach required to achieve successful and durable restorations.
