1) Treatment planning in fixed prosthodontics involves evaluating factors like span length, abutment condition, occlusion, and patient factors to determine the best type of prosthesis for replacing missing teeth. 2) Key considerations for different prosthesis types include abutment support and alignment for tooth-supported fixed partial dentures, adequate bone for implant-supported prostheses, and span length and patient factors for removable partial dentures. 3) Biomechanical factors like span length, pontic thickness, and connector design must also be considered, as they impact the rigidity and stresses experienced by any fixed prosthesis.
