Cooperation and collaboration of the dentist and dental technician in partial denture treatment

Abstract

The mission of prosthetic dentistry, which is directly involved in the maintenance and improvement of Quality of Life, is to contribute to the society by restoring shape and function and providing prosthodontic treatments mached the needs of patients. Especially in the case of missing teeth, the role of dental technicians involved in the production of removable partial dentures which is essential for the treatment is also very important, and it is desirable to agree on the recognition for cases between dentists and dental technicians.

In more difficult clinical cases, “cooperation” and “collaboration” that make the best use of each other’s professionality are required, and as the results, it is possible to provide efficient treatments to patients.

Based on the clinical case in which the ideal was pursued and the appropriate removable partial denture was provided.

I would like to discuss the significance of “cooperation” and “collaboration” between dentists and technicians on the partial denture treatments in addition to prosthodontic treatments the prosthodontic specialists should aim for.
