Prosthetic dentistry involves the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of oral function and aesthetics using artificial substitutes like crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants. It aims to restore not only the functionality of teeth but also enhance the patient's confidence and quality of life by improving oral and maxillofacial aesthetics.

Oral function encompasses the complex interplay of muscles, nerves, and structures within the mouth and throat, essential for speech, swallowing, and taste. It is a critical aspect of human physiology that supports communication, nutrition, and sensory experience.

Oral Function

Aesthetics is the philosophical study of beauty and taste, encompassing both the creation and appreciation of art and nature. It examines the nature of aesthetic experiences and judgments, exploring how individuals perceive and derive pleasure from sensory experiences.

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth, improving both aesthetic appearance and oral functionality. They can be either complete, replacing all teeth, or partial, filling in gaps left by missing teeth, and are custom-made to fit the patient's mouth, ensuring comfort and effectiveness.

Dentures

Implants are medical devices surgically placed inside or on the surface of the body to replace a missing biological structure, support a damaged biological structure, or enhance an existing biological function. They can be made from various materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and biological tissues, and are used across a wide range of medical fields, such as orthopedics, dentistry, and cardiology.
