2. Retainer (orthodontics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retainer_(orthodontics)

   In fixed retainers, composite is usually placed to bond and to cover the wire, whilst ensuring no interference in the interdental space. Fixed retainers are used in situations where instability is more likely, such as severe rotations, periodontal disease and median diastemas. Occasionally the patient will require a removable retainer as well.

3. Overdenture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdenture

   Implant-supported. Edentulous patients with sufficient amount of bony ridge on their jaws can opt for implant supported overdenture. [4] This type of over denture gains support from both the dental implants and intraoral tissues. Having implant-supported overdenture provides better stability of prosthesis and reduce bone resorption. [10]

   Over 50% of patients have some reversion to pre-treatment positions within 10 years following treatment. [45] To prevent relapse, the majority of patients will be offered a retainer once treatment has been completed and will benefit from wearing their retainers. Retainers can be either fixed or removable.

5. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   The primary use of dental implants is to support dental prosthetics (i.e. false teeth). Modern dental implants work through a biologic process where bone fuses tightly to the surface of specific materials such as titanium and some ceramics. The integration of implant and bone can support physical loads for decades without failure. [10]: 103–107

6. Resin-retained bridge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin-retained_bridge

   The wing or retainer must be rigid and is usually fabricated from a metal alloy. The inner surface must fit closely to the abutment tooth. The intaglio is treated in some way to enhance the micromechanical adhesion between the prosthesis and the composite resin cement. In the past various methods have been used, ranging from metal-weave ...

7. Bridge (dentistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_(dentistry)

   Fixed bridge: A dental prosthesis that is definitively attached to natural teeth and replaces missing teeth. [1] Abutment: The tooth that supports and retains a dental prosthesis. [2] Pontic: The artificial tooth that replaces a missing natural tooth. [2] Retainer: The component attached to the abutment for retention of the prosthesis ...
