Minimally Invasive Fixed prosthodontics

Minimally invasive restoration technique is the choice of treatment for restoringendodontically treated teeth, replacing single missing tooth and also for full mouthrehabilitation, in order to minimize tooth structure loss. The choice of final restorationdepends on the amount and quality of remaining tooth structure, topography and coronalmorphology of the tooth and the functional occlusal forces that the restoration toothcomplex has to withstand. According to this approach direct composite restoration ispreferred for minimally destructed teeth (with 25% structural loss) , indirect restorationlike onlays ad overlays are prefer for moderately destructed teeth(with 50% structuralloss) and Endocrown or fiber post and core is preferred for severely destructed teeth(withmore than 50% structural loss).For replacement of missing tooth, all ceramic resinbonded FPD or Fibre reinforced Composite Fixed dental prosthesis are preferredtreatment options. Inlay retained fixed dental prosthesis can be used as long termprovisional prosthesis. With the major advantage of preserving maximum tooth structure,such restorations also preserves the periodontium by remaining above the gingiva.
