Prosthodontics

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance.

Porcelain is commonly used for dental crowns due to its natural appearance, durability, and resistance to wear.

A bridge is a dental restoration that consists of one or more artificial teeth attached to crowns on adjacent teeth, filling the gap created by the missing teeth.

Metal is commonly used for dental bridges due to its strength and durability, especially when replacing multiple missing teeth.

A denture is a removable dental restoration that replaces missing teeth and surrounding tissues. It can be either a full denture, replacing all teeth in an arch, or a partial denture, replacing some missing teeth.

Acrylic resin is commonly used for fabricating dentures due to its affordability, ease of manipulation, and ability to mimic the appearance of natural gums and teeth.

Endosteal implants are the most common type of dental implants. They are surgically placed into the jawbone and fuse with the bone over time, providing a stable foundation for a dental crown.

Titanium is commonly used for fabricating endosteal dental implants due to its biocompatibility, strength, and resistance to corrosion.

Subperiosteal implants are designed to replace multiple missing teeth in a row. They are placed on top of the jawbone, beneath the gum tissue, and provide support for a dental bridge or denture.

Titanium is commonly used for fabricating subperiosteal dental implants due to its biocompatibility, strength, and resistance to corrosion.

Zygomatic implants are designed to replace all or most of the teeth in an arch, especially in cases where there is insufficient bone support in the jaw. They are anchored in the zygomatic bone, which is located in the cheekbone.

Titanium is commonly used for fabricating zygomatic dental implants due to its biocompatibility, strength, and resistance to corrosion.

Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are commonly used to correct discoloration, chips, cracks, or gaps between teeth.

Porcelain is commonly used for fabricating dental veneers due to its natural appearance, durability, and resistance to staining.

An onlay is a type of dental restoration that covers the entire chewing surface of a tooth, as well as part of the surrounding tooth structure. It is used to protect a weakened tooth from further damage and restore its function.

Porcelain is commonly used for fabricating dental onlays due to its natural appearance, durability, and resistance to wear.
