Immediate fixed partial dentures.

Abstract

This technique offers immediate fixed partial denture replacement of dentition lost in either an anterior or posterior location. It allows modification of the preextraction tooth or the diagnostic wax-up. Because the provisional restoration is made indirectly, the extraction site is not contaminated. Postoperative comfort and function for the patient is achieved.

Racial norms: esthetic and prosthodontic implications.

A review of the orthodontic literature reveals that different races have different cephalometric norms. This has great implications in the placement and arrangement of teeth and in the evaluation of esthetics in people of dissimilar ethnic origins. In the diverse American society, prosthodontists and restorative dentists need to be concerned with the phylogenetic characteristics of their patients. The resultant esthetic differences can have significant importance in the function and design of prostheses.
