Prosthetics is a branch of dentistry that deals with tooth replacement, which goes beyond conservative treatment. Tooth loss, in addition to affecting function and aesthetics, can also impact the condition of the remaining teeth by disrupting their position and relationship, which can further lead to an improper bite and temporomandibular joint disorders. Replacements include:
fixed prosthetics – crowns and bridges, which can be metal-ceramic or ceramic (metal-free),
removable prosthetics – partial and complete dentures,
combined works.
They can effectively restore both partial and complete toothlessness
