They are prostheses made of various materials that are used to restore the parts of the teeth that are visible in the mouth. It is generally preferred when there is too much material loss to be filled in the teeth or in the presence of different aesthetic expectations.
It is a prosthesis that transmits the chewing pressures on the natural teeth through the body and abutment to the jawbone through the periodontium (the tissues surrounding the tooth) and the alveolar bone (the bone surrounding the tooth in the presence of teeth). It is applied when the toothless space is not excessively long and the teeth on both sides of the space are healthy.
With the use of a material called zirconium, it is now possible to make metal-free, tooth-colored restorations in every case where conventional metal-supported bridge prostheses can be applied.
It is a kind of partial crown prosthesis made of aesthetic materials with the aim of restoring the outer surfaces of the teeth that can only be seen outside the mouth. It is the most conservative of all restorations that can be applied for aesthetic purposes. Usually 0.5 mm to be made in the tooth. One abrasion will suffice.
