2. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   There is limited evidence that implant-supported single crowns perform better than tooth-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs) on a long-term basis. However, taking into account the favorable cost-benefit ratio and the high implant survival rate, dental implant therapy is the first-line strategy for single-tooth replacement.

3. Root analogue dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_analogue_dental_implant

   A root-analogue dental implant (RAI) – also known as a truly anatomic dental implant, or an anatomical/custom implant – is a medical device to replace one or more roots of a single tooth immediately after extraction. [1]

4. Full arch restoration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_arch_restoration

   Permanent prosthetics in full arch restoration are the final, long-term dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and restore function and aesthetics in patients with extensive tooth loss. These prosthetics are custom-designed and fabricated to fit precisely onto dental implants that have integrated with the jawbone.

5. Crown (dental restoration) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_(dental_restoration)

   In dentistry, a crown or a dental cap is a type of dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. A crown may be needed when a large dental cavity threatens the health of a tooth. Some dentists will also finish root canal treatment by covering the exposed tooth with a crown.

6. Fixed prosthodontics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_prosthodontics

   A large amount of tooth structure is removed irreversibly during crown preparation. All restorations have impaired structural and functional integrity when compared to healthy, natural tooth structures. As a result, if a dental practitioner does not recommend it, crowning a tooth is probably not a good idea.

7. Removable partial denture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removable_partial_denture

   RPD may be used when there is a lack of required teeth to serve as support for a bridge (i.e. distal abutments) or financial limitations. A single-tooth RPD known as a "flipper tooth" may be used temporarily after a tooth is extracted, during the several months it takes to complete the placement of a dental implant and crown.
