The document discusses fixed prosthodontics, focusing on various types and classifications of fixed dental bridges used to replace missing teeth. It describes different bridge types based on design, retention, material, span length, and other criteria, including components like retainers and pontics. The document includes contributions from several dental students.

1. FIXED
PROSTHODONTIC

2. FIXED PROSTHODONTIC
1. Dental Crown
2. Dental Bridge
3. Inlay
4. Onlay
5. Veneer

3. FIXED DENTAL BRIDGE
• Is the branch of Prosthodontics, that deals with
the replacement of missing tooth or teeth using
an artificial substitute that permanently
cemented in place .

4. TYPES OF FIXED DENTAL
BRIDGE

5. 1- TRADITIONAL TYPES
A. Fixed Fixed Bridge
B. Fixed movable Bridge
C. Fixed removable Bridge (Andrews' bridge)

6. 2 - Resin Bounded Bridge :
A - Maryland Bridge B - Rochate Bridge

7. 3 - Cantilever Bridge and Spring
cantilever .
4- Implant Support Bridge .

8. Classification of FPD

9. ACCORDING TO POSITION
• 1- Anterior FPD :
It extends only between the anterior teeth , doesn't cross or
cross the midline . ( central , lateral , canine )
• 2- Posterior FPD:
It extends only between the posterior teeth .
( molar , premolar )
• 3- Complex FPD:
It extends at one of its terminals beyond the canine .

10. ACCORDING TO RETENTION
• 1- Simple bridge : it is one single bridge, and it may be :
1- Fixed- Fixed : which is fixed at both ends to the abutment
teeth.
2- Fixed- Supported : which is connected to one of the
terminal abutment teeth by a non-rigid connector to allow
some individual movements of the patient.

11. CONT .
• 2- Cantilever and Spring cantilever
* Cantilever : which is a free-end bridge, where the pontic is
fixed to and derives its support from one or double
retainers at one end only and the other end is unsupported.
* Spring cantilever bridge : which is a cantilever bridge, where
the pontic is at the end of slightly resilient curved arm deriving
its support from an abutment tooth remote from edentulous
space.

12. CONT .
• 3-Compound bridge :
it is a combination type of bridge, contains more than one
type of simple bridge .

13. ACCORDING TO MATERIAL
• 1- Metallic :
a - precious alloy .
b - semi precious alloy .
c - non precious alloy .
• 2 - non metallic :
all resin , all ceramic .
• 3- Combined :
metallic with labial or buccal veneers metallic
with lingual .

14. ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF SPAN
• 1- short span ( one missing tooth )
• 2- medium span ( two missing teeth )
• 3- long span ( more than two missing teeth )

15. ACCORDING TO THE CHRONOLOGY OF SPAN
• 1 - Provisional bridge .
• 2 - Temporary bridge .
• 3 - immediate bridge .
• 4 - Definitive bridge .

16. ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF TEETH
MISSING AND THE NUMBER OF ABUTMENTS
1. Simple ( one missing tooth, two abutments )
2. Complex ( two missing teeth, two abutments )
3. Complex ( two missing teeth, more than two
abutments )
4. Complex ( Pier abutment )

17. COMPONENT OF FIXED BRIDGE
Retainer
Pontic
Connector
Abutmentresidual area

18. RETAINER
• The part of a fixed dental prosthesis that
unites the abutments to the remainder of
the restoration.

19. PONTIC
• An artificial tooth on a fixed dental prosthesis that
replaces a missing natural tooth , restores in function,
and usually fills the space previously occupied by the
clinical crown.

20. CONNECTOR
• The portion of a fixed prosthesis that
unites the retainer and pontic

21. ABUTMENTS
• it is a natural tooth or an implant used to support
and retain the FPD at one or both terminals.

22. RESIDUAL AREA
• The area in the gums for the missing tooth
