[Resin-bonded fixed partial dentures in the anterior area]
Abstract:
In essence the resin-bonded fixed partial denture, or resin-bonded bridge, is an artificial tooth that is bonded to 1 or 2 abutment teeth. If the resin-bonded bridge is directly made with resin composite intra-orally, then the connector area is the weakest link. The alternative is to produce an indirect resin-bonded bridge in which a metal or ceramic frame spans the space between the abutments. The bridge is bonded to the abutments with composite. The moderate clinical results of the resin-bonded bridge can be associated with a deficiency of the abutment teeth preparation. Therefore, strategic preparation with grooves and rests is of substantial importance for proper support. By doing so, the longevity of the straightforward resin-bonded bridge rivals the performance of other dental provisions. There is a disagreement whether 2-unit resin-bonded bridges perform better than their 3-unit counterparts. Two optimally prepared abutment teeth are still a solid basis for a metal-ceramic resin-bonded bridge. For ceramic resin-bonded bridges, 1 abutment seems to be sufficient.

Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...

In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
