RESIN RETAINED ‘minimal preparation’ BRIDGE

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Dr Dan Patel treated a patient from Sidcup recently who came in an emergency appointment for a broken front tooth that could not be saved. Fortuately he was able to provide a fixed bridge which is permanently bonded to the adjacent tooth via a thin wing called a Maryland Bridge . This involved no preparation  to the supporting tooth and provided a quick solution to the problem of a missing tooth. The patient may later go on to have an implant.
