Tooth Bonding or Fixed
prosthodontics in dentistry is a technique used to restore teeth,
using fixed restorations (also referred to as indirect restorations), which include crowns,
bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers.
Prosthodontists are specialist
dentists who have undertaken training recognized by
academic institutions in this field. Fixed prosthodontics
can be used to restore single or multiple teeth, spanning areas
where teeth have been lost. In general, the main advantages of
fixed prosthodontics when compared to
direct restorations is the superior strength when used in
large restorations, and the ability to create an aesthetic
looking tooth. As with any dental restoration, principles used
to determine the appropriate restoration involves consideration
of the materials to be used, extent of tooth destruction,
orientation and location of tooth, and condition of neighboring
teeth. |
