How to choose a fixed denture material?

Let's get to know what is a fixed denture. As the name implies, a fixed denture is a kind of denture in which the dentist directly fixes the finished denture on the patient's teeth. Its characteristic is that the color and shape of the denture is similar to that of natural teeth, and the patient does not need to remove it by themselves, and is more comfortable to use.

So, what kind of teeth are suitable for fixed dentures?

The indications of fixed dentures are mainly considered from the following aspects:

1. Specific conditions such as the location and size of the tooth defect;

2. The number, position, pulp vitality, etc. of missing teeth;

3. The health of periodontal soft and hard tissues and oral hygiene;

4. Healing of alveolar bone and mucosa in missing teeth;

5. The occlusal relationship of the upper and lower teeth;

6. The age of the patient;

7. The occupational nature and requirements of the patient.

Dentists often need to conduct detailed examination and evaluation of patients before they can formulate a personalized treatment plan for each patient.
