Fixed Denture
Fixed Denture
When we have missing teeth, there is a need to replace them. Missing teeth will cause problems like difficulty in eating, speech, migration and rotation of adjacent teeth. It would also affect the chewing load on the remaining teeth as force distribution changes accordingly. Replacement of missing teeth with artificial teeth is commonly referred to as dentures, and it can be of two types; Fixed dentures and Removable Dentures.
