Prosthodontic treatment is a process of communication between the patient and the doctor, developing and progressively completing a treatment plan. It can be roughly divided into three forms: initial consultation, follow-up consultation and review, depending on the procedure, tasks and contents of the patient visit. The division of the three forms facilitates theoretical understanding of the tasks and contents of clinical reception, which indicates the three stages that exist in the process of clinical reception. The number and duration of restorative treatment is related to the restorative treatment method, the patient’s specific situation, the time of processing of the restoration, and other factors. Generally speaking, from the beginning of treatment by the prosthodontist to the placement of the restoration, 2-3 visits are required for inlay and full crown restorations of missing teeth, with a duration of 2-3 weeks; 3-5 visits are required for fixed bridge restorations of missing teeth, with a duration of 2-4 weeks; 2-6 visits are required for removable partial denture restorations of missing teeth, with a duration of 2-6 weeks; 5-7 visits are required for full denture restorations of missing teeth, with a duration of 4-8 weeks. If more aesthetic, occlusal, and complex tooth preparations are involved, the doctor will use study models, diagnostic waxing, and transitional restorations, which can extend the treatment period by several weeks to several months.
