The upper first premolar is considered the pontic and the teeth prepared are abutments. Conventional bridges are bridges that are supported by full-coverage crowns, three-quarter crowns, post-retained crowns, onlays and inlays on the abutment teeth. In these types of bridges, the abutment teeth require preparation and reduction to support the ...
The dental arches are the two arches (crescent arrangements) of teeth, one on each jaw, that together constitute the dentition.In humans and many other species, the superior (maxillary or upper) dental arch is a little larger than the inferior (mandibular or lower) arch, so that in the normal condition the teeth in the maxilla (upper jaw) slightly overlap those of the mandible (lower jaw) both ...
A quad helix (or quadhelix) is an orthodontic appliance for the upper teeth that is cemented in the mouth.It is attached to the molars by 2 bands and has two or four active helix springs that widen the arch of the mouth to make room for crowded teeth, or correct a posterior cross-bite, where lower teeth are buccal (outer) than upper teeth.

A bridge is used to span, or bridge, an edentulous area (space where teeth are missing), usually by connecting to fixed restorations on adjacent teeth. The teeth used to support the bridge are called abutments. A bridge may also refer to a single-piece multiple-unit fixed partial denture (numerous single-unit crowns either cast or fused together).
Chrome-cobalt disc with bridges and crowns manufactured using WorkNC Dental CAD/CAM. CAD/CAM dentistry is a field of dentistry and prosthodontics using CAD/CAM (computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing) to improve the design and creation of dental restorations, [1] [2] especially dental prostheses, including crowns, crown lays, veneers, inlays and onlays, fixed dental prostheses ...
Bite registration is used in several dental treatments, including a wide range of prosthetic restorations such as inlays/ onlays, crowns, bridges, frameworks and partial and full dentures. It is also an essential technique for implants, orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, and temporomandibular joint disorder treatment such as soft ...
In dentistry, maximum intercuspation refers to the occlusal position of the mandible in which the cusps of the teeth of both arches fully interpose themselves with the cusps of the teeth of the opposing arch.
A multi-unit abutment (MUA) is an abutment most commonly used with dental implants in "All-on-Four" protocols. [1] [2] They are designed for screw-retained group restorations, [3] which are often used in combination with angled dental implants [4] and whole arch replacements, as well as screw fixation of bridges made of zirconium or metal-ceramic group restorations to the implant.
