Journal Title: International Journal of Management, IT and Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Infections with various microorganisms are main cause of dental caries and periodontal disease [1].The types of fixed partial dentures includes all-metal, metal ceramic, and resin veneered metal prostheses.Some of the problems that occur on abutments teeth are due to the size and shape of the pontic,which may prevent the sanitizing by classic or special oral hygiene methods,may cause accumulation of plaque under the bridge in the immediate vicinity of the abutments. In this area,pathogenic flora develops andconsequences on the longterm can include the late loss of abutments.It is possible to evaluate a patient as having a highrisk for root decay or periodontal disease because of presence of the type of bacteria in a culture made from area between the pontic and the gingival surface.Some of the problems that occur on the abutments teeth are due to the size and shape of pontic,which may prevent the sanitizing by classic or special oral hygiene methods,may cause accumulation of plaque under the bridge in the immediate vicinity of abutments.
