What does an FP-2 classification represent?

The FP-2 classification indicates a prosthesis that replaces both the anatomical crown and root portion of a tooth. This classification is typically employed in the context of dental implants and restorative procedures. When a tooth is lost, the ideal replacement would mimic both the visible part of the tooth (the crown) and the hidden portion that is typically anchored in the jawbone (the root).

In this case, an FP-2 classification signifies a complete restoration that involves the use of an implant to replace the root and an artificial crown that replicates the natural tooth's aesthetics and function. This classification ensures that both the functional and aesthetic aspects are effectively addressed, providing a comprehensive solution for patients who have lost teeth.
