Description
Orthopedics is the dental specialty that focuses on dental prostheses. Dental prosthesis is an intraoral prosthesis (inside the mouth) which is used to restore (reconstruct) intraoral defects such as totally or partially lost teeth.
Dentures can be fixed or removable. Fixed prostheses include crowns and bridges that are cemented into the mouth. Removable dentures include total or partial dentures.
