Abstract

There are different prosthetic treatment options to choose amongst when a tooth is extracted, and there are numerous factors, both evident and hidden, which will affect the decision-making process and finally result in a construction best suited for each patient or no construction at all. The dentist must in the decision-making process combine the best available evidence with clinical data, weigh all the factors against each other and in agreement with the patient choose the best treatment. The restorative dentist of modern age will face an even faster progression of new techniques and dental materials than before, thus making the prosthetic decision-making even more challenging.

It takes a special kind of compass in the field of dental science and art to understand the present and to navigate the future of clinical prosthodontics with so many options available!
