Dental prosthetics that are permanently attached (fixed) to the teeth are called fixed prosthetics. Crowns, bridges (fixed dentures), onlays, inlays, and veneers are also referred to as indirect restorations. Professionals in prosthodontics have trained in this area from academic institutions. With fixed prosthodontics, a single tooth or multiple teeth can be restored over areas where teeth are missing. A common oral health issue is trauma-induced tooth hypersensitivity following preparation of the tooth. Dental hypersensitivity is caused by a sudden onset of sharp pain on contact with exposed dentin, usually in response to heat, evaporation, pressure, or cold and is not attributed to any other dental problem or condition." Despite a lack of literature on the subject, post-cementation sensitivity has not been definitively studied. When dentinal tubules are separated during the preparation of teeth, a certain degree of pulpal trauma will result. An important decision is whether to carry out elective endodontic treatment for the tooth's vital abutments or proceed with the pulp preservation procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
