Type Definition
FP-1 Fixed prosthesis; replaces only the crown, looks like a natural tooth.
FP-2 Fixed prosthesis; replaces the crown and a portion of the root; crown contour
appears normal in the occlusal half but is elongated or hypercontoured in the
gingival half.
FP-3 Fixed prosthesis; replaces missing crown and gingival color and portion of
the edentulous site; prosthesis most often uses denture teeth and acrylic
gingiva, but may be porcelain to metal.

Fixed Prosthesis:
FP-1:
-
Appears to the patient to replace only the anatomic crowns of missing
natural teeth.
-

the abutments. Select teeth of an appropriate shade and mold. Place the
cast, set appropriate teeth on the record base and schedule a try-in. After
verification of vertical dimension, tooth shade, tooth shape and the overall
esthetic appearance of the overdenture, place a cast metal frame into it. The
space accommodation for the abutment and bar creates weak points in the
denture that may cause wear or fractures. Make the cast metal frame of a
