The prosthodontic strategies relating to the rehabilitation of intermediate missing

Abstract

While restoring the patients with short-span partial edentulism, it is often difficult to determine the type of final prosthesis. In such cases that can be restored with both fixed and removable partial dentures, meticulous efforts should be made to fabricate prostheses with functionality, aesthetics, cleanability, and durability. The subject of this article is “Proper treatment planning for short-span partial edentulism.” Several cases restored with fixed or removable partial denture solely, or combined, would be presented. The decision-making progress would be discussed as well.
