Book Description

The main goal of modern dentistry is to restore patient to normal function, comfort, aesthetics, and speech and of course health without negotiating any loss to the tissues may be hard or soft which are already in a state of physiologic health. The ability to achieve the goal irrespective of the disease, etiology and severity has lead dentistry to a unique and individualized speciality. Fixed prosthodontic treatment involves the replacement and restoration of teeth by artificial substitutes that are not readily removable from the mouth. Its focus is to restore function, esthetics and comfort. Successfully treating a patient by means of fixed prosthodontics require a thoughtful combination of many aspects of dental treatment: patient education and the prevention of further dental disease, sound diagnosis, periodontal therapy, operative skills, occlusal considerations, and sometimes, placement of removable complete or partial prosthesis and endodontic treatment.
