Preservation of as many natural teeth as possible should be the goal of conscientious dentists. However, occasionally, the sacrifice of some sound natural teeth may be indicated for partially edentulous patients to provide them with the most functional and esthetic masticatory apparatus. Selection of the proper prosthetic service is one of the most critical value judgments made by dentists. No matter how skillfully the wrong treatment is accomplished, it is still the wrong treatment. It is important, therefore, that all relevant data be gathered so that the best clinical judgment can be brought to bear in the decision-making process.
尽可能保留更多天然牙应是尽责牙医的目标。然而，对于部分牙列缺损的患者，有时为了给他们提供功能和美观最佳的咀嚼器官，可能需要拔除一些健康的天然牙。选择合适的修复治疗是牙医做出的最关键的价值判断之一。无论错误的治疗实施得多么巧妙，它仍然是错误的治疗。因此，收集所有相关数据非常重要，以便在决策过程中运用最佳的临床判断。
