Porcelain fused to metal crowns are constructed in metal alloy with porcelain fused to either all or most of its surface. PBC, also known as ceramics fused to metal dental crown is indicated in situations whrere a stronger restoration is needed, such as the presence of minimal interocclusal clearance. Compared to all ceramics dental crowns, the strength of this type of restoration is excellent.

Fixed-fixed Partial Denture, also known as fixed-fixed dental bridge, is a design of fixed partial prosthesis that has a rigid connector at both ends of the pontic. This basic design of FPD has a minimum of three units that can be cemented in one piece. The abutment teeth are rigidly splinted together and must be prepared parallel to each other. Its retainers or crowns should have approximately the same retention as each other. This is to minimized the risk that forces applied to the fixed-fixed FPD will dislodge one retainer from its abutment, leaving the FPD suspended from the other abutment.

Acrylic Resin Upper Removable Partial Denture - Occlusal

Acrylic resin removable partial denture with wire retainers is sometimes recommended for frail elderly patients. It is justified by the notion that acrylic resin is faster and easier to work with, affordable and amenable to repair. Acrylic resin prosthesis treatment is used because the remaining teeth are periodontally compromised, patients tend to exhibit poor oral hygiene and poor cooperation. Acrylic RPD can also be transformed if extractions become necessary.

An Upper Complete Denture was constructed for a 65 years old female patient. The denture base is made of ordinary acrylic base with tint modification to mimic the color of Oral Mucosa of the dentate lower arch of the patient. Leeformatron is the brand name of denture teeth used.

While tightening the abutment screw, correct position of the Dental Implant Angled Abutments for fixed partial denture is maintained by doing this procedure: A silicone putty index may be made from the master cast, placed palatally and grooved by a guide-pin, reduced in length to 2 threads and placed in the hole for the gold screw. This guide pin may then be used to support the abutment firmly in place while tightening the abutment screw.
