After tooth loss, an individual may seek tooth replacement so that his/her function and esthetics could be restored. Clinical prosthodontics, during the past decade, has significantly improved and developed according to the advancements in the science and patient's demands and needs. Conventional options in prosthodontics for substituting a missing single tooth include the removable partial denture, partial and full coverage bridgework, and resin-bonded bridgework. Dental implants have gained increasing popularity over the years as they are capable of restoring the function to near normal in both partial and completely edentulous arches. With substantial evidence available, fixed implant-supported prosthesis are fully acknowledged as a reliable treatment option for the replacement of single or multiple missing teeth nowadays. While dental implants are increasingly becoming the choice of replacement for missing teeth, the impediments associated with them are progressively emerging too.
牙齿缺失后，个体可能会寻求牙齿修复，以便恢复其功能和美观。在过去十年中，临床修复学根据科学进展以及患者的需求和要求有了显著的改进和发展。修复学中用于替代单个缺失牙齿的传统选择包括可摘局部义齿、部分和全冠桥修复以及树脂粘结桥修复。多年来，牙种植体越来越受欢迎，因为它们能够在部分和完全无牙弓中将近乎正常的功能恢复。有大量证据表明，固定种植体支持的修复体如今已被充分认可为替代单个或多个缺失牙齿的可靠治疗选择。虽然牙种植体越来越成为缺失牙齿替代的选择，但与之相关的障碍也在逐渐显现。
