title: [Maintenance of teeth by a preventive strategy of prosthetic care].
abstract: As a result of analyses of the oral health conditions and prosthodontics the demand for a preventive strategy is opposed to the traditional treatment. Its primary goal is not completing the rows of teeth in number, but structural conservation using prosthetic appliances. The possibilities are discussed by examples given by crown restorations, initial loss of teeth, interrupted and shortened row of teeth. The results of clinically controlled studies are presented for the assessment of the preventive effectiveness.
