This document discusses the key components of a fixed partial denture (FPD), including retainers, pontics, and connectors. It defines each component and describes their classification and ideal requirements.
Three main components are locked together in one FPD unit: pontic, retainer, and connector (Figure 3.12). Figure 3.12. Diagram showing all components of a three-unit FPD. A Pontic is the artificial tooth on an FPD that replaces the missing natural tooth and restores its function.
A fixed partial denture is a partial denture that is securely attached to abutment teeth, roots, or implants to replace one or more missing teeth. Successful treatment requires attention to patient assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, operative skills, and follow-up care.
A dental prosthesis that restores one or more but not all of the natural teeth and/or associated parts and that is supported in part by natural teeth, dental implant supported crowns, abutments, or other fixed partial dentures and /or the mucosa; usage: a partial denture should be described as a fixed partial denture or removable partial denture...
Bridges of FPD have 3 main parts, (apart from the abutment). The Retainer, Pontic and Connector. In my next lecture on Fixed Partial Denture (FPD) I will be discussing about different...
Fixed partial dentures is the option which patients demand for because of comfort, esthetics, good masticatory forces and pscyhological benefit of not wearing removable teeth. Components of FPD need to be designed In harmony with all principles and fulfilling all the requirements of each part.
There are three parts of a fixed partial denture: Connector. Complete/Full Crown or Full Veneer Crown: It is a type of restoration that covers all surfaces of the tooth (occlusal, mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual). All Metal Crown: Made up of precious or nonprecious metal. All Ceramic Crown: Entirely fabricated of ceramic material.
In dentistry, FPD stands for fixed partial dentures—prosthetic teeth that patients cannot remove. FPDs help overcome the discomfort of keeping dentures in a cup overnight or the inconvenience of slipping teeth.
This document discusses the key components of a fixed partial denture (FPD), including the pontic, retainers, and connectors. It describes different classifications for pontics based on their mucosal contact, material used, and method of fabrication. Common pontic designs include the ridge lap, ovate, conical, and sanitary pontics.
A Fixed Partial Denture is a prosthesis which is used to replace missing teeth by taking support from natural tooth or roots adjacent to the space. The FPD or bridge can be placed taking support from either a natural tooth or a Dental Implant supported Prosthesis.
