3. Terms
• Axial inclination: the alignment of the long axis of
the tooth to a horizontal plane
• Bevel: the process of slanting or sloping the finish
line
• chamfer: a finish line design for tooth preparation in
which gingival aspect meets the external surface at an
obtuse angle
• Clearance: a condition in which bodies may pass
each other without hindrance.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. • Finish line: the line of demarcation
• Margin: the outer edge of a crown, inlay, onlay or
other restoration.
• Resistance form: the feature of a tooth preparation
that enhance the stability of a restoration and resist
dislodgement along an long axis other than the path
of placement
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. • Retention form: the feature of a tooth preparation
that resists dislodgement of a crown in a vertical
direction or along the path of placement

6. Introduction
• Fixed Prosthodontics is concerned with the
replacement of missing tooth structure. Pierre
Fauchard (1747) was the first person to describe the
process by which roots of maxillary anterior teeth
were selected for the restoration of single and
multiple teeth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. • Biomechanical considerations in fixed prosthodontics can be
divided into following categories:
• 1.Evaluating the abutment tooth and its supporting tissues for
their ability to withstand occlusal forces and their long-term
prognosis.
• 2.Biomechanical considerations, which are governed by the
tooth preparation design, form, & occlusal relationship of the
prosthesis fabricated.
• 3.Mechanical considerations, which affect the integrity and
durability of the fixed partial denture.

9. ABUTMENT EVALUATION
• Crown – root ratio
• Root configuration.
• Periodontal ligament area or root surface area
• Mobility.
• Endodontic status
• Root proximity.
• Tilt
• Caries
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. • Crown-root ratio:
• The optimum crown- root ratio for a tooth to be
utilized as a FPD abutment is 2:3. A ratio of 1:1 is the
minimum ratio that is acceptable.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. • Root Configuration
•
• Multi rooted posterior teeth with widely separated
roots will offer better support than those that
converge, fuse or generally present a conical
configuration
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22. BIOLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS
• These affect the health of oral tissues. Procedures
involving living tissues must be carefully executed to
avoid unnecessary damage. Poor preparation leads to
inadequate marginal fit or deficient crown contour,
and plaque control around these restorations will
became more difficult impeding long term
maintenance of oral health.

23. • Prevention of Damage during tooth preparation :
• 1.Iatrogenic damage to the adjacent tooth
• 2.Damage to the soft tissues
• 3.Pulpal degeneration
www.indiandentalacademy.com
24. • Conservation of tooth structure :
Use of partial rather than complete coverage
retainers.
Preparing teeth with minimum taper.
Preparing of occlusal surface so reduction follows the
anatomic planes.
Preparations of axial surfaces so tooth are prepared
evenly.
Selection of a conservative margin where indicated.
Avoidance of unnecessary apical extension.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
25. • FACTORS AFFECTING FORM AND
TERMINATION OF THE FPD
• Axial reduction
• Margin integrity
• Margin Placement
www.indiandentalacademy.com
27. • Indications for Sub gingival margin placement:
Additional retention,
esthetics,
root sensitivity,
modifications of axial contour,
proximal contact extending to gingival crest,
caries,
erosion or restorations extending Sub gingival
www.indiandentalacademy.com
28. • Margin adaptation:
• Margin geometry/ configuration: any configuration
of margin should have these characteristics
Ease of preparation
Acceptable adaptation
Adequate contour
Sufficient strength
Conservation of tooth structures
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. • The number and area of occlusal contacts have a
profound influence on the distribution of occlusal
forces.
• The larger the total area of contact over which a
given occlusal force is applied, the less stress is
concentrated at any point.
• As total number of occlusal contacts increases in an
occlusal scheme, the force is applied over a greater
number of locations, also reducing the localized
stress. Large number of contacts results in more
cutting or grinding surfaces to facilitate mastication

36. MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS:
• Providing retention form
• Providing resistance form
• Preventing deformation of the restoration
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. • Retention Form: This is the ability of the restoration to
withstand forces acting in the same direction as path of
withdrawal. Sticky foods & chewing gum have been
known to remove restorations in the line of draw.
•
• Factors:
– Magnitude of dislodging forces
– Geometry of tooth preparation
– Roughness of fitting surface of casting
– Materials being cemented
– Film thickness of luting agent
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38. • FACTORS AFFECTING RETENTION
• Taper-
• Too large a taper will decrease the retention
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. • Type of preparation
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. • Roughness of the surfaces being cemented
• air- abrading with 50μm of alumina. O’Conner(1990)
showed that air abrasion increased retention by 64%.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. • Types of luting agent:
• Adhesive resin cements seem to be most retentive.
However, the decision regarding which agent to use
is also based on other factors
www.indiandentalacademy.com
46. RESISTANCE FORM
• Magnitude and direction of dislodging forces
• Physical properties of Luting agent: modulus of
elasticity and compressive strength of the Luting
cement have an effect on resistance to deformation.
• Glass Ionomer and resin cements have higher
compressive strength
www.indiandentalacademy.com
48. • walls of shorter preparations should have as little
taper as possible to increase resistance. It can also
be increased placing grooves in the axial walls.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
50. • Teeth with short diameter and short walls have
better resistance than teeth with larger diameter but
short walls. The preparation on the smaller tooth will
have a short rotational radius for the arc of
displacement, and the incisal portion of axial wall will
resist displacement.
• The larger rotational radius on the larger
preparation allows for a move gradual arc of
displacement, and the axial wall does not resist
removal.

53. Conclusion:
• Biomechanics is of prime consideration in achieving
an aesthetic functional and durable fixed prosthesis so
every dentist should have a thorough knowledge
about this biomechanics of tooth preparation as every
step in this plays a major role in the fixed prosthesis
success.
