Prosthodontics, one of the main branches of dentistry, is the process of replacing lost teeth with artificial teeth and dental treatment applied to patients with tooth loss due to different reasons. Prosthodontic treatment eliminates the discomfort caused by lost teeth. It treats patients who have lost the ability to speak comfortably and clearly, who have partially lost the ability to chew, and who have lost their aesthetic dental appearance due to lost teeth.
In general, removable and fixed prostheses are used in prosthodontics. Implant prostheses can also be evaluated in the prosthetic dental treatment. In some cases, the following treatments are applied in the prosthetic dental treatment, which is called aesthetic dental treatment.
