Fixed prosthodontics is commonly referred to as

  1. Dentures

  2. Crown and bridge

  3. Orthodontics

  4. Endodontics

The correct answer is: Crown and bridge

Fixed prosthodontics refers to the restoration or replacement of teeth using permanent, non-removable restorations such as crowns and bridges. Dentures, on the other hand, are removable restorations. Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with correcting misaligned teeth and jaws, while endodontics focuses on treating infections and diseases of the dental pulp. Therefore, crown and bridge is the most appropriate answer as it is the only option that specifically refers to the restoration of teeth using fixed, non-removable options.
