Abstract

The aim of Preventive prosthodontics should be an attempt to converge to the dictum of DeVan “Perpetual preservation of what remains, rather than meticulous restoration of what is lostâ€. Preventive prophylaxis improves the overall prognosis of the stomatognathic system and the quality of life significantly.  Moreover, efforts directed toward disease prevention are fundamentally superior to dental rehabilitation due to disease development. With a paradigm shift in dental care practice in progress during the current pandemic situation, preventive dentistry holds the prospects to reduce the treatment needs of the patients. Preventive prosthetic dentistry is the need of the hour.
