Question 85 · LDEK · Fixed restorations
Indicate the possibilities and restrictions of using fixed partial dentures in young patients:
1) in the case of damaged teeth the possibilities of crown, post and bridge manufacturing are the same as in adult patients;
2) indications for fixed partial dentures are significantly restricted, since temporary removable dentures are the priority;
3) post and cores can be used in any case of damaged coronal dental tissues;
4) post and cores can be used after root development is completed;
5) esthetic crowns should not be used on vital teeth;
6) until root development is completed, temporary crowns with supragingival, knife-edge finishing margins should be used;
7) like in adults, all types of crowns can be applied on endodontically treated teeth;
8) using short, inactive fixed bridges is allowed.
