Branch of dentistry that treats the restoration of masticatory, phonatory and aesthetic functions in mouths that have lost, for various reasons, some or all of dental elements.
The fixed prosthesis is a bulwark of dentistry and together with implantology allows for extraordinary recoveries nowadays.
The mobile prosthesis allows the rehabilitation of entire arches or parts of them in a removable way by the patient himself. Mobile prostheses are the total prosthesis, the partial prosthesis and the skeletal prosthesis.
Between the two fixed and mobile categories we have mixed ones: partly fixed, partly mobile and mobile on systems that allow greater stability.
