FOUR CATEGORIES

COMFORT (pain, sensitivity, swelling) FUNCTION (Difficulty in mastication or

speech) SOCIAL (Bad taste or odor ) APPEAREANCE (Fractured or

unattractive teeth or restorations , discoloration)

The accuracy and significance of the patient’s primary reason or reasons for seeking treatment should be

analyzed first

Page 13: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

. Information about missing teeth

and any complications that may have occurred during tooth removal is obtained.

Special evaluation data collection procedures are necessary for patients who require prosthodontic care subsequent to orthognathic surgery.

Before any treatment is undertaken, the prosthodontic component of the proposal treatment should be fully co-ordinated with surgical component.

13

Page 14: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

The patients oral hygiene is assessed, current plaque control measures are discussed, as are previously received oral hygiene instructions.

The frequency of any previous debridments should be recorded

Dates nature of any previous periodontal surgery should be noted.

PERIODONTAL HISTORY

14

Page 15: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Simple composites resin or dental amalgam fillings or may involve crowns and extensive fixed partial dentures.

The age of previous existing restorations can help the prognosis and probable longevity of any future fixed prosthesis.

15

Page 16: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

The findings should be reviewed periodically so that peri-apical health can be monitored, any recurring lesions promptly detected.

16

Page 17: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Occlusal analysis should be an integral part of the assessment of a post orthodontic dentition.

If restorative treatment needs are anticipated , they should be undertaken by the restorative dentist.

17

Page 18: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

The patients experiences with removable prostheses must be carefully evaluated.

Listening to the patients comments about previously unsuccessful in assessing whether future treatment will be more successful.

18

Page 19: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Previous radiographs may prove helpful in judging the progress of dental disease.

They should be obtained if possible, because it is generally better to avoid exposing the patient to unnecessary ionizing radiation.

In most instances , however , a current diagnostic radiographic series is essential and should be obtained as a part of examination.

19

Page 20: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

A history of pain or clicking in the TMJ or neuromuscular systems, such as tenderness to palpation, may be due to TMJ DYSFUNCTION, which should be normally be treated and resolved before fixed prosthodontic treatment begins.

20

Page 21: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

An examination consist of the clinician’s use of sight, touch , and hearing to detect conditions outside the normal range.

21

Page 22: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

General appearance: Gait and weight are assessed.

Skin color : Anemia or jaundice.

Vital signs: Respiration, pulse, temperature and blood pressure are measured and recorded.

Page 24: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Permits a comparison between the relative timing of left and right condylar movements during the opening stroke.

ASYNCHRONIOUS MOVEMENT :Anterior disk displacement that prevents one of the condyles from making abnormal translatory movements.

Auricular palpation with light anterior pressure helps identify potential disorders in the posterior attachment of the disk.

24

Page 25: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Tenderness or pain on movement, is noted and can be indicative of inflammatory changes in the retrodiscal tissues ,which are highly vascular and innervated.

Clicking in the TMJ is often notecible through auricular palpation but may be difficult to detect when palpating directly over the lateral pole of the condylar process, because the overlying tissue can “muffel” the click , placement of the fingertips on the mandible will help to identify even a minimal click.

Visibility during normal and exaggerated smiling.

This can be critical during FIXED PROSTHODONTIC TREATMENT PLANNING

“NEGATIVE SPACE”:- The space between maxillary and mandibular anteriors during normal smile.

Missing teeth, diastemas and fractured or poorly restored teeth affect negative space and require correction.

31

Page 32: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Condition of the soft tissues , teeth and supporting structures.

This information can be properly evaluated during treatment planning only if objective indices, rather than vague assessments, are used.

32

Page 33: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Status of bacterial accumulation

The response of the host tissues and the degree of irreversible damage.

Long term periodontal health is essential to successful fixed prosthodontic treatment.

Existing periodontal disease must be corrected.

33

Page 34: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

An accurate charting of

the state of the dentition

will reveal important

information about the

condition of the teeth and

will facilitate treatment

planning. 34

Page 35: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

The initial clinical examination starts with the clinician asking the patient to make a few simple opening and closing movements while carefully observing the opening and closing strokes.

Special attention is given to Initial tooth contact, Tooth

alignment, andEccentric contacts and jaw maneurability,

Not all the patients seeking fixed prosthodontic treatment will present diagnostic problems.

Nevertheless ,diagnostic errors are possible, especially when a patient complains if pain or symptoms of occlusal dysfunction.

A logical and systematic approach to diagnosis will help avoid mistakes.

42

Page 43: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

The prognosis is an estimation of the likely course of a disease.

It is difficult to make , but its importance to patient understand successful treatment planning must nevertheless be recognised.

The prognosis of dental disorders is influenced by.

43

Page 44: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

SEMIADJUSTABLE ARTICULATOR with a FACE BOW TRANSFER.

Articulated diagnostic casts permits a detailed analysis of occlusal plane and the occlusion for a better diagnosis and treatment plan.

Tooth preparations can be “rehearsed “ on the casts and diagnostic waxing procedures allow evaluation of the eventual outcome of proposed treatment .

47

Page 48: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

CENTRIC RELATION RECORDS are used to replicate on the articulator.

LATERAL OCCLUSAL RECORDS are used to the condylar guidance of the articulator.

Identify the deflective contacts.

A distinction must be made between mounting for diagnosis and for treatment.

48

Page 49: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

The attachment of casts to an articulator for diagnosis will be done with the condyles in the centric relation position.

For restoration of a significant portion of the occlusion , it may also be done with the condyles in the centric relation position.

Page 50: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Mouth preparation refers to the dental procedure that need to be accomplished before fixed prosthodontics can be properly undertaken.

As a general plan , the following sequence of treatment procedures in advance of fixed prosthodontic should be adhered to;

50

Page 51: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Relief of symptoms (chief complaint)

Removal of etiological factors (eg; excavation of caries removal of deposits)

Repair of damage .

Maintainance of dental health.

Page 52: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

The following list describes the sequence in the

treatment of a patient with extensive dental

disease including missing teeth , retained roots

, caries and defective restorations.

52

Page 53: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Preliminary assessment

Emergency treatment of presenting symptoms

Oral surgery

caries control and replacement of existing restorations

Definitive periodontal treatment

53

Page 54: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Orthodontic treatment

Definitive occlusal treatment

Fixed prosthodontics

Removable prosthodontics Follow up care .

A logical TREATMENT SEQUENCE should be planned

before beginning any fixed prosthodontic intervention. Such planning will normally multidisciplinary.

DESTRUCTION OF THE

TOOTH STRUCTURE ESTHETICS PLAQUE CONTROL FINANCIAL

CONSIDERATIONS RETENTION

The selection of the material and design of the restoration depends on several factors:-

55

Page 56: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

The destruction previously suffered by the tooth has to be restored , such that the remaining tooth structure must gain strength and protection from restoration , cast metal or ceramic is indicated over amalgam or composite resin .

56

Page 57: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

PARTIAL VENEER restoration can be used to restore in highly visible area.

The use of ceramic in some can be used as FULL VENEER.

METAL CERAMIC CROWNS Single unit anterior Posterior crowns Fixed partial denture

57

Page 58: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

commonly used on anteriors

posteriors (adequate bulk)

ALL CERAMIC CROWNS

58

Page 59: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Motivated to follow a regime of brushing, flossing and dietary regulation to control or eliminate the disease process responsible for destruction of tooth structure.

If these measures prove to be successfulcast metal, ceramic or metal ceramic restorations can be fabricated.

59

“SOME ONE” Government agency A branch of military Insurance company Selection should not be less

than optimum just because the patient cannot.

Sound alternative to the preferred treatment plan and not apply pressure.

60

Page 61: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

FULLVENEER CROWNS; unquestionably most retentive.

SINGLE TOOTH RESTORATION: not nearly important.

Special concern for ; Short teeth Removable partial

denture abutment. 61

Page 62: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

PLASTIC and CEMENTED restoration

PLASTIC RESTORATION: Is inserted as soft or plastic mass into the cavity preparation , where it will harden and be retained by mechanical undercuts or adhesion.

62

Page 63: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

CEMENTED RESTORATION Made of cast metal ,metal ceramics or ceramic

material alone is fabricated away from the operatory and is luted in or on patients tooth at a subsequent appointment.

One type can be better suited for a particular application than the other or their suitabilities may overlap.

63

Page 64: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

When sufficient coronal tooth structure exist to retain and protect a restoration under the anticipated stresses of mastication an intracoronal can be employed.

In this circumstance , the crown of the tooth and the restoration itself are dependent upon the strength of remaining tooth structure to provide structural integrity.

64

Page 65: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Where extensions can be kept minimal. Preparation retention will be minimal . Class 5 lesions Incipient lesions Root caries in geriatric patients. Interim treatment restoration to assist in

BIOMECHANICAL PERIODONTAL ESTHETIC FINANCIAL and PATIENTS WISHES.It is not uncommon to combine two types

in the same arch.

79

Page 80: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Edentulous spaces greater than two posterior teeth. Anterior space greater than four lncisors. Edentulous space with no distal abutment. Multiple edentulous spaces. Tipped teeth adjoining edentulous spaces and

prospective abutments with divergent alignment.

80

Page 81: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Periodontally weakened. Teeth with short clinical crowns. Insufficient number of abutments. If there has been a severe loss of tissues

in the edentulous ridge. Patients of advanced age who are on

fixed incomes or have systemic problems.

81

Page 82: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Abutment teeth are periodontally sound. Edentulous span is short and straight. Expected to provide a longlife of function for the

patient. No gross soft tissue defect in the edentulous

ridge. Reserved for patients who are both highly

motivated and able to afford.

82

Page 83: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Defect free abutments where single missing tooth.

A single molar (muscles are not well developed).

Mesial and distal abutment are present. Moderate resorption and no gross soft tissue

defects on edentulous ridges.

83

Page 84: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Younger patients whose immature teeth with large pulps are poor risks for endodontic free abutment preparation.

Tilted tooth can be accommodated only if there enough tooth structure to allow a change in the normal alligment of axial reduction.

Periodontal splints.

84

Page 85: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Insufficient number of abutments. Partial attitude and or a combination of intra

oral factors make a removable partial denture or FPD a poor choice.

No distal abutment. Alveolar bone with satisfactory density and

thickness in a broad, flat ridges.

85

Page 86: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Configuration that permit implant placement. Single tooth where defect free adjacent teeth. A span length of two or six teeth can be

replaced by multiple implants. Pier in an edentulous span (three or more teeth

long).

86

Page 87: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Long standing edentulous space into which there has been little or no drifting or elongation of the adjacent teeth.

If the patients percieves no functional , occlusal or esthetic impairement.

87

Page 88: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

In cases where the choice between a fixed partial denture and a removable partial denture is not clear cut, two or more treatment options should be presented to the patients along with their advantages and disadvantages.

88

Page 89: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

The prosthodontist is the best person to evaluate the physical and biological factors present , while the patients feelings should carry considerable weight on matters of esthetics & finances .

89

Page 90: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

The roots and their supporting tissues should be evaluated for three factors

Crown root ratio

Root configuration

Periodontal ligament area

90

Page 91: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Optimum -2:3

Minimum -1:1 (acceptable)

91

Page 92: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Broader LABIOLINGULLAY than MESIODISTALLY. Multirooted posterior teeth with widely separated

roots. Conical roots can be used -for short span. A single rooted tooth with evidence of irregular

configuration or with some curvature in the tooth that has a nearly taper.

92

Page 93: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

Larger teeth have a greater surface area and better able to bear added stress.

“ ANTE’S LAW” the root surface area of the abutment teeth had to equal or surpassed that of the teeth being replaced with pontics.

93

Page 94: Diagnosis and treament planning in fixed partial dentures

In addition to the increased load placed on the pdl by a long span FPD.

Longer spans are less rigid.

Bending or deflection varies directly with the cube of the length and inversely with cube of the occlusogingivally thickness of the pontic .

The history and clinical examination must provide sufficient data for the practioner to formulate a successful treatment plan.

In particular it is critical to develop a through understanding of special patient concerns relating to previous care and expectations about future treatment.

A diagnosis is a summation of the observed problems and their underlying etiologies.

The overall prognosis is influenced by general and local factors
