An Affordable Lower Complete Denture was constructed for a 70 year old male patient.

Provisional dental crowns on lower left 1st premolar and lower left 1st molar (34 and 36 FDI Two-Digit Notation). Provisional restorations (like these dental crowns) should mimic the final fixed partial denture.

Indications for use of metal ceramic fixed partial denture
1. In cases of parafunctional mandibular activity where an aesthetic restoration is essential.
2. Where lingual clearance of less than 0.8 mm is present after tooth prepration.
3. Teeth requiring fixed splinting or being used as dental bridge abutments.
