Abstract:
The axial contour and proximal contact of the prosthesis affect periodontal health, food impaction, and patient satisfaction. This narrative review provides a summary of articles regarding the axial contour and proximal contact of a fixed dental prosthesis on periodontal health and physiologic function. By acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the axial contour and proximal contact of teeth and prostheses, as well as their functional significance, the virtual design of fixed dental prosthesis can be optimized to maintain periodontal health and promote physiologic function effectively.
