Esthetics is an advancing field in prosthodontics. Level of esthetic requirement in clinical practice has increased over the past decade. It is made necessary for the dentist to explore this field to satisfy the existing demands of the patients. Introduction of digital tools has contributed to satisfactory and predictable esthetic outcomes.Prosthodontic therapy with use of characterized prosthesis compared to conventional prosthesis aids the patient in developing proper speech, enhanced esthetics and may have dramatic social and psychological benefits for these patients.This book describes...

Nanotechnology has revolutionized prosthodontics, it has led to the development of new materials and techniques that have improved the performance and durability of dental implants, crowns and bridges. Nanotechnology has enabled the creation of nanoscale surface modifications on dental implants such as coatings of hydroxyapatite or silver nanoparticles, which enhance their biocompatibility, osseointegration and antimicrobial properties. Additionally, nanomaterials have been used to create dental composites, ceramics and metals that are stronger and more durable than conventional materials....

Advances in digital imaging, computer-aided design, internet communication, digital manufacturing and new materials have simplified the diagnostic process and improved treatment outcomes. Digital technology has impacted patient motivation, practice management and clinical treatment procedures. The contemporary dental practice has endless options for preserving oral health and providing next to natural aesthetics with an enhanced approach, reduced treatment time, minimized error potential and better-quality assurance. Digitization has become part of contemporary prosthodontics with the...

The accurate determination of CR is essential in the construction of dentures. Many dentures fail if they're not constructed in harmony with this position. Centric relation has also become an essential consideration in restorative dentistry, orthodontia, and full-mouth reconstruction. A patient should be treated to centric relation when evidence that occlusal disease is present, when the patient's joints are healthy, and when a repeatable restorative position is required. Since centric relation is predictable and repeatable, it can help the dentist minimize occlusal disease.

Die genaue Bestimmung der CR ist bei der Konstruktion von Zahnersatz unerlässlich. Viele Prothesen versagen, wenn sie nicht in Übereinstimmung mit dieser Position konstruiert sind. Die zentrische Relation ist auch in der restaurativen Zahnheilkunde, der Kieferorthopädie und der Rekonstruktion des gesamten Mundes zu einem wesentlichen Gesichtspunkt geworden. Ein Patient sollte in zentrischer Relation behandelt werden, wenn es Anzeichen für eine okklusale Erkrankung gibt, wenn die Gelenke des Patienten gesund sind und wenn eine wiederholbare restaurative Position erforderlich ist. Da die...

La détermination précise de la CR est essentielle dans la construction des prothèses dentaires. De nombreuses prothèses échouent si elles ne sont pas construites en harmonie avec cette position. La relation centrée est également devenue une considération essentielle en dentisterie restauratrice, en orthodontie et en reconstruction buccale complète. Un patient doit être traité en relation centrée lorsqu'il existe des preuves d'une maladie occlusale, lorsque les articulations du patient sont saines et lorsqu'une position de restauration reproductible est nécessaire. La relation...
