What Are Dental Bridges Used For?

08 November 2022

A dental bridge is a non-removable structure, which is used to fill the empty space created after the loss of a tooth. There are many modern methods of inserting an artificial tooth in place of a missing tooth. In the treatment of adentia (the same toothlessness) it is especially important that the artificial inlay (fixed construction) repeats the structure of the natural tooth and, at the same time, restores the function and aesthetics of the natural tooth.

Traditional dental bridges - this method is used when the patient has healthy teeth (both right and left) adjacent to the missing tooth. Traditional dental bridges are the most widely used type of non-removable framework.

Cantilever dental bridges - Cantilever bridges are not essentially different from traditional dental bridges. Even one healthy tooth in the mouth is enough for this type of bridges. If there is a healthy tooth in the prosthetic area (right or left), the most optimal for the patient may be a cantilever dental bridge.

Maryland bridges, also known as "adhesive bridges", are a fairly widespread method in aesthetic dentistry. The adhesive bridge is durable and can withstand heavy loads. Along with this, it not only improves the oral cavity from an aesthetic point of view, but also partially fulfills the chewing function. The adhesive bridge restaurant is made of materials obtained as a result of the latest scientific discoveries. The construction itself is fixed on the teeth located next to the missing tooth. Unlike a traditional dental bridge, during the fixation of the Maryland bridge, it is not necessary to loosen the adjacent healthy teeth, which, in turn, allows us to preserve the enamel coating of the tooth and the viability of its nerve. Maryland bridges are generally used when a patient has 1 missing tooth. In the majority of clinical cases, the restoration is fixed in the area of ​​front teeth (the same as frontal teeth) or small chewing teeth (the same as premolars).
