4. classification

Complex / Compound

5. B) Depending on the support for FPD:
Conventional Tooth-Supported FPD.
Resin-Bonded Tooth-Supported
FPD.

29. Factors influencing Design:
Crown length
Crown form
Degree of Mutilation
Root length and form
Crown-Root ratio
Ante’s Law
Periodontal Health
www.indiandentalacademy.com
30. Mobility
Span length
Axial alignment
Arch form
Occlusion
Pulpal health
Alveolar ridge form
Age of the patient
Phonetics
Esthetics
www.indiandentalacademy.com
32. Crown length
adequate occluso-cervical length for sufficient
retention.
short clinical crowns----
full-coverage crowns/perio.surgery.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
33. Degree of mutilation
size,number,and location of
carious lesion or restoration affect
whether full- or partial- coverage
retainers are indicated.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. Root Length and form
roots with parallel sides and
developmental grooves provide better
stability.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. Crown-root ratio
higher the ratio—decreased stability.
1:1.5 considered satisfactory.
1:1 considered minimal.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. Ante’s Law
combined Pdl area of the abutment
teeth should equal or exceed that of the
tooth or teeth being replaced.
Periodontal health
periodontal disease if present should
be treated before,definitive treatment is
begun.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. Span length
distance between abutment teeth
affect feasibility of placing a FPD.
replacement of one to two teeth is
easily accomplished.
replacement of three teeth require
careful evaluation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. Axial alignment
the crowns of proposed abutment
must be sufficiently well aligned.
malalignment may require
orthodontic correction / devitalisation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. Pulpal health
abutment teeth with poor pulpal
health should receive endodontic
treatment prior to tooth preparation.
Long-term abutment prognosis
removable prosthesis may be
advantageous,when,the ability of the
remaining supporting structures to
accept excessive occlusal forces is
questionable.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. Alveolar ridge form
considerable loss of alveolar bone
may not allow the use of pontics of
normal size or their placement to best
support the lips and cheeks to restore
normal facial form.
Age of the patient
in mouth of adolescents fixed
prosthesis is usually contraindicated
due to incomplete eruption of the teeth
and large pulp chambers.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. Phonetics
existence of large alveolar bone
defect may not allow pontics to help the
patient produce normal phonetics.
Psychological factors
most patient accept fixed partial
dentures more normally than
removable partial dentures.
Operators skill

83. conclusion
It must be realized that all these complex
factors cannot be readily defined or
positioned in order of significance.
Relative importance changes with individual
mouth,each new patient presents new
problems and new difficulties to the novice.
Operator should develop and possess the
skill to design a prosthesis depending upon
its classification and configuration.
