message: As dozenist has mentioned, in the crown and bridge talk page, contrary to my previous agreement perhaps the pages should actually be separate as the previous arrangement. I think initially they were both too vague to be separate, but as I add more detail, I can see that bridges need an entirely different section devoted to inlay supported bridges and cantilevered bridging. 
conversely I think the material and preparation and fabrication section is identical.... dilemma.. perhaps the material section could be brief and refer to the dental restorative materials page.  I also think that only a brief description of crown and bridge should be present in the restorative fixed prostheses page/indirect restoration page, as the scope is too wide. I will continue with the crown and bridge page, but I think that the page will develop enough to allow it to split again in the near future :) Bouncingmolar 04:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, but how much needs to be written about crowns?  I've looked at what is there now and all the basics are covered (most of it is to do with materials and biological considerations anyway).  Agreed that there is a considerable amount about bridges such as Rochette, Maryland, cantilevered, perforated, fixed/movable, telescopic, inlay supported, implant supported (this is fixed prostho after all).  Not much about crowns needed. Dr-G - Illigetimi non carborundum est. 18:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, all those things you mentioned need to be talked about. Also information about pontics. I've kind of run out of steam, there are a couple of sections that need expansion like a brief description how crowns are made and perhaps a bit about types of crowns as in full gold crown and pfms etc..

message: What happened? DRosenbach  I disagree with the changes made in this edit:  drosenbach revision comparison 19:05, 16 March 2007. I do however like some of the other changes you have made. I dislike these changes because I think they have made have made the article more colloquial; the tone of the article is now more informal, instead of encylopedic. also I think that the old subheadings broke up the article and were more concise and easier to follow. I do not like the new definition/ introduction because the definition has become more vague. the link has been removed from the introduction to indirect restorations,  and why was the advantages title removed when the disadvantages was retained.  I havn't reverted it though because I would like some consensus first(Bouncingmolar 12:30, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: crown and bridge development

message: I was told by a dentist that today implants are preferred over bridges because they don't require damaging/modifying other teeth. Anyone have any data or statistics about how many teeth are replaced by implants vs. bridges and maybe even how that's changed over time? Would be interesting data, I think.

thread_title:  Implants vs. bridges. 

message: For example, the installation of ceramic bridges instead of ferrum in the back of the jaw - a question of aesthetics, ie marketing ploy. At the more useful properties of ferrum (more "malleable", less brittle, gives the jaw weight, balance, ferrum - conductor, has magnetic properties). Difference - in reaction to external objects (question is in security: response to external magnetic fields, created, for example, by electrical wiring, is different by ferrum and ceramics, ferrum - more secure, reliably).
