【Preparation before fixed denture restoration】

1. According to the number of missing teeth. The abutment teeth and number are selected based on the position, relationship, morphology, tissue structure and periodontal supporting tissue conditions.

2. Check whether the tooth extraction wound in the edentulous area has healed, the size of the gap between the missing teeth, the alveolar ridge and oral mucosa, etc.

3. The crown of the abutment tooth should be tall and the root should be long. If there is tooth or periodontal disease, treatment should be done first. Pulpless teeth should undergo complete root canal treatment.

4. The occlusal relationship should be basically normal. If the abutment teeth are tilted or displaced, or the opposing teeth are elongated, twisted or misplaced, adjustment of grinding or change of the retainer design method are necessary.

【Things to note when restoring fixed dentures】

1. Hammered posterior fixed bridges should be designed with metal panels, approximately 2 mm thick. If the anterior teeth fixed bridge has a tight bite, a metal lingual back should be designed. If the bite is not tight and the bite pressure is light, a metal "cross" shaped bracket can be made to enhance the mechanical strength.

2. The connector should be firm and strong, not affect the occlusal relationship, and have correct interproximal and abduction gaps.

3. In addition to restoring the shape of the non-metallic part of the bridge, there should also be an appropriate outward gap so that the contact area between the gingival end of the bridge and the mucosa is small and close, and there should be no pressure.

The above is an introduction to the precautions for fixed dentures. After understanding, we know that although fixed dentures will not make us feel uncomfortable, we must pay attention to maintenance to avoid problems. We must maintain good oral hygiene at ordinary times and avoid biting hard food with our teeth.
