Introduction
Dental prostheses or prosthodontics is that part of dentistry that deals with the modification of pathological and natural teeth restoration of missing teeth and the prevention of future diseases.
This subject will address the study of Fixed Prostheses, which explain the different types of treatments that involve fixed prosthesis and how they should perform the dental preparations for getting good functional and aesthetic results.
Pre-course requirements

Objectives
The aim of this subject is to enable students acquire the basic knowledge and skills in relation to different types of restorations involving the fixed prosthesis and mixed prosthesis and the preparations to be carried out to achieve good results.
