oss of teeth is a common condition affecting individuals globally.1 A systematic review on the global burden of severe tooth loss indicated that about 2.3% of the population was edentate in 2010.2 As there is such a large number of people who have missing teeth, there is a high demand to replace missing teeth to improve mastication and esthetics.3 Fixed prosthodontics allows replacement of missing teeth by restorations that are not readily removed from the mouth.4 Today, crowns and fixed partial dentures are one of the most commonly used prosthesis by dental practitioners to replace missing teeth.5 A crown is a fixed extra-coronal artificial restoration that replaces the lost tooth structure by covering the coronal portion of a natural tooth with various materials such as cast metal alloy, metalporcelain, dental porcelain, resins or more recently zirconia. A fixed partial denture is defined as a fixed restoration which replaces one or more missing teeth and is attached to natural teeth or an implant.4 1.
