Across
- 3. The _______ reduction is necessary to provide space for the restorative material in an FPD
- 8. _______ preparation involves creating a specific shape and angle on the abutment teeth to ensure a proper fit of the fixed partial denture
- 9. The _______ space is the gap between the abutment teeth where the pontic is placed in a fixed partial denture
- 10. The _______ margin is the edge of the tooth preparation that provides a secure fit for the crown portion of the FPD
- 11. The _______ pontic design is used when there is minimal space between the ridge and the opposing teeth, providing excellent esthetics and hygiene
- 13. A _______ pontic is designed to rest directly on the edentulous ridge, providing a natural appearance and effective function
- 14. The _______ is a part of the FPD that provides the main structural support and is typically made of metal.
Down
- 1. ______ bridges are used when there is a single abutment tooth on one side of the missing tooth
- 2. A _______ bridge is a minimally invasive type of FPD that uses adhesive techniques to bond the pontic to the adjacent teeth
- 4. The _______ is the cervical aspect of the fixed partial denture that extends into the gingival sulcus for improved esthetics and support
- 5. _______ retention relies on the geometric shape of the prepared tooth to provide resistance to displacement
- 6. The _______ are the natural teeth or dental implants that support and retain the fixed partial denture.
- 7. The _______ is a type of fixed partial denture where a pontic is suspended between two abutment teeth without additional support
- 8. The _______ principle of tooth preparation involves creating a smooth and continuous margin to enhance the fit and longevity of the FPD
- 12. The _______ phase involves creating a temporary restoration to protect the prepared teeth and maintain esthetics and function until the final FPD is ready.
