Fixed restorations produced for recipients of dental prosthodontic treatment. A comparison between general dental practice and a dental school.
Fixed prosthodontic work ordered by general dental practitioners was examined through registrations made in commercial dental laboratories. A comparison was made with similar data from student files on fixed prosthodontic treatment at the University Clinic in Bergen, Norway, which is located in the same geographic area. The results indicated that the distributional pattern of fixed restorations within the dentition was much the same in the individuals attending the general dental practitioners as in those treated at the dental school. While the practicing dentists preferred metal-ceramics in most cases, most of the restorations inserted at the dental school were based on the metal-resin technique.
