1. What are the more common terms used to describe a fixed prosthesis?
2. If a patient has poor dental hygiene, grinds their teeth and other habits like chewing ice, are they a good candidate for fixed
prosthodontics? Why so or why not?
3. A bridge is described by the number of units (teeth) involved. If I am going to prepare a three unit bridge for teeth #s 12-14,
please explain which teeth will be classified as abutments, and which tooth or teeth are pontic(s)?
