Study Notes
- A bridge is a type of partial denture that is attached to a natural tooth, root, or implant abutment and replaces a lost tooth or teeth.
- The retainer, pontic, connector, and abutment are the key components of a bridge.
- A bridge can be complete or partial coverage, and it can be an intra-coronal restoration or an extra-coronal restoration.
- Bridges are often used to replace teeth that are missing in the front or the back of the mouth.
- Fixed partial dentures are made from metal, nonmetal, or a combination of both materials.
- Simple bridges are fixed in place with a support or a free cantilever.
- Resin bonded FPDs are spring cantilever and can use intra-oral restoration for retention.
- Metallic/ceramic wings are used in anteriors on resin bonded FPDs to improve retention.
