Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now

Special problems

Treatment sequence

Definitive diagnosis Identification of the patients needs Treatment planning for single tooth restoration

Cantilever fixed partial denture Canine replacement

Diagnosis and treatment planning in fixed partial dentue Treatment planning for multiple missing teeth

Abutment evaluation

Definition
Diagnosis: Determination of the nature of the disease

Diagnostic casts

Radiographic interpretation

Definitive diagnosis

Periodontal health Occlusal relationships TMJ function Condition of edentulous areas Anatomic abnormalities ,servicibility of the existing prostheses Status of the remaining dentition including previous dental treatment Dental caries,defective restorations and pulpal disease

ACP Classification
Class I -Ideal or minimally compromised
The edentulous span is confined to a single arch and 1 of the following*Any anterior maxillary edentulous area that does not exceed 2 incisors. *Any anterior mandibular edentulous area that does not exceed 4 incisors. *Any posterior maxillary or mandibular edentulous area that does not exceed 2 premolars, or 1 premolar and 1 molar.

Class I

Abutment conditions No preprosthetic therapy is indicated. Occlusal characteristics- Class I molar and jaw relationships are seen. Residual bone height of 21 mm

Class II- Moderately compromised

Class III Substantially compromised

Any posterior maxillary or mandibular edentulous area greater than 3 teeth or 2 molars.
Abutments in 3 sextants have insufficient tooth structure to retain or support intracoronal or extracoronal restorations. Entire occlusion must be reestablished.Class II molar and jaw relationships are seen. Residual alveolar bone height of 11 to 15 mm

Class IV Severely compromised

Any edentulous area or combination of edentulous areas requiring a high level of patient compliance Abutments in 4 or more sextants have insufficient tooth structure to retain or support intracoronal or extracoronal restorations. Entire occlusion must be reestablished, including changes in the occlusal vertical dimension.Class II division 2 and Class III molar and jaw relationships are seen. Residual vertical bone height of 10 mm measured at the least vertical height of the mandible on a panoramic radiograph

Definition
Treatment plan: Sequence of procedures planned for a patient after diagnosis

Identification of patients needs

An attempt to conform the patient to the ideal treatment plan rather than have treatment plan conform to patients needs will not lead to success

Abutment evaluation

Forces that would normally be absorbed by the missing tooth are transmitted through the pontic,connectors and retainers to the abutments. Vital tooth Endodontically treated teeth Dowel core Pulp capped teeth

Mandibular

Biomechanical considerations
1) Span length Bending or deflection varies directly with the cube of the bridge length

2)Double abutment

Double abutments are sometimes used as a means of overcoming problems created by unfavorable crown-root ratios and long spans A secondary abutment must have at least as much root surface area and as favorable a crown-root ratio as the primary

Simple fixed partial denture (One tooth)

Replace central incisor Abutments are central incisor and lateral incisor Abutment pontic- root ratio
Maxilla- 1.9 Mandible 2.1

Simple fixed partial denture (two teeth)

Replace maxillary central incisor and lateral incisor Abutment Central incisor and canine Abutment pontic root ratio 1.2

Complex fixed partial denture (two teeth)

Replace mandibular central incisor and lateral incisor Abutments- Central incisor, lateral incisor and canine Abutment- pontic root ratio- 1.8

Complex fixed partial denture (more than two teeth)

Replace maxillary central incisors and one lateral incisor Abutments- Both canines and the remaining lateral incisor Abutment-pontic root ratio- 1.3

Complex fixed partial denture (pier abutment)
