Prosthodontics deals with which aspects of dental reconstruction?

• A. Crown, bridge, dentures and implants
• B. Endodontic therapy
• C. Orthodontic alignment
• D. Gum grafting

Answer: (A)

Prosthodontics focuses on replacing missing teeth and the surrounding oral tissues with artificial devices. This includes fixed restorations like crowns and bridges, removable options like dentures, and implant-supported prostheses. The aim is to restore chewing, speech, and appearance, using prostheses to replace both teeth and the supporting structures. Other areas handle root canal therapy, tooth movement and bite correction, or gum and soft-tissue procedures, which are outside prosthodontics.
