    Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology

    Fixed prosthodontics involves restoring damaged or missing teeth with fixed artificial replacements that are not removable from the mouth. Common fixed restorations include crowns that cover the clinical crown, inlays and onlays that fit within the anatomical contours of teeth to restore lesions, and fixed partial dentures (bridges) that replace one or more missing teeth by connecting pontics to abutments and retainers.

    Fixed prosthodontics (fixed = non-removable) art and science of

    restoring damaged teeth or replace missed ones with fixed artificial


    substitutes not readily removable from the mouth. This will restore
    function, appearance and comfort of the patient.
    crown is a cemented or permanently affixed extracoronal restoration that
    covers, or veneers, the outer surface of the clinical crown.
    Intracoronal restorations are those that fit within the anatomical contours
    of the clinical crown of a tooth. Inlays may be used as single-tooth
    restorations for Class II proximo-occlusal or Class V gingival lesions with
    minimal to moderate extensions.
    When modified with occlusal coverage, the intracoronal restoration is
    called an onlay and is useful for restoring more extensively damaged
    posterior teeth needing wide mesioocclusodistal (MOD) restorations.
    Another type of cemented restoration that has gained considerable
    popularity in recent years is the all-ceramic laminate veneer, or facial
    veneer.
    The fixed partial denture (bridge) is a prosthetic appliance that is
    permanently attached to remaining teeth or implants and replaces one or
    more missing teeth.
    A tooth or implant serving as an attachment for a fixed partial denture is
    called an abutment.
    The artificial tooth suspended from the abutments is a pontic. The pontic
    is connected to the fixed partial denture retainers, which are
    extracoronal restorations that are cemented to or otherwise attached to
    the abutment teeth or implants.
    The connectors between the pontic and the retainer may be rigid or nonrigid.
