FPDs are generally contraindicated for several reasons: Growth and Development: Children are still in their
growth phase, and their jaws and teeth are developing. Placing a fixed
prosthesis can interfere with normal growth patterns and may require
adjustments or replacements as the child grows. Eruption of Permanent Teeth: In younger patients,
especially those under 10, many of the permanent teeth have not yet erupted.
Using FPDs in this age group can complicate future dental treatments, as the
position of the teeth may change with the eruption of permanent teeth.
