Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: The most common procedures employed by majority of dental practitioners for a missing tooth or teeth were by replacement through crowns and bridges. With accurate planning and implementation, the tooth supported fixed prostheses will provide anticipated function, aesthetics and value for money. Although, an imperfectly fabricated prosthesis were more likely to fail and leading to the damage to the teeth which cannot be altered and to the supporting structures. When dealing with failed or failing fixed restorations, proper knowledge of diagnosis, assessment of the clinical condition and technical skills are absolutely necessary. It is of great significance or value to evaluate the types of fixed partial denture failures. The practical advantages of classifying these failures were to educate the general dentists and laboratory technicians. The following information of this review is a pub med search, the articles regarding fixed partial denture failures from the year 1920 to 2018. The objective of this review article is to classify the types of failures associated with tooth supported fixed partial denture and classification systems proposed by various authors.
