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.
