Study Notes

Abutment Teeth in Dental Bridge

  • Abutment teeth must withstand forces normally directed to the missing teeth, in addition to those usually applied to the abutments.
  • The choice of abutment is crucial.

Management of Abutment Teeth

  • Firstly, treat the condition and cause of the missing teeth.
  • After resolution (in 1-2 weeks), prepare the teeth for the bridge.

Breast Glands

  • Breast glands are squeezed due to over-proliferation of surrounding tissue (connective tissue or fibers).

Evaluation and Aids of Abutment Teeth

  • Careful clinical examination should be performed using:
    • Examination tools
    • Vitality test
    • Radiographs
    • Diagnostic casts
    • Periodontal probe

Crown Length and Retention

  • Abutment teeth must have adequate occlusocervical crown length to achieve sufficient retention.
  • Full coverage restorations and crown lengthening are considered for short clinical crowns to ensure adequate retention.
  • Vital teeth are preferred, but pulpless teeth can be used only after endodontic treatment.
