| Three unit inlay bridge
Step-by-step:
- The beginning situation from the side. Tooth 24 was extracted.
- The occlusal view of the dentition after extraction of tooth
24.
- Old composite fillings were removed from the teeth 23 and 25.
The working area was covered with a Rubber dam and proximal space
separated with a plastic strip and woodchock. The old composite
filling in the tooth 26 could have been removed also, but, in
this case, it wasn’t necessary.
- The bridge frame was made with direct method: first the
Perma Fibers were wetted with light-curing
resin (see the users instructions for crowns and bridges). Teeth
were etched, treated with primers and adhesives, and some flow
composite was added on the bottom of
the cavities. First Fiber bundle
was placed from the cavity of tooth 25 to a distal cavity in the
tooth 23.
- The second Fiber bundle was
placed from the cavity of the tooth 25 to the buccal side of the
tooth 23. Use as many bundles of Fiber
as possible, but at least one layer for one pontic, to increase
the strengthening effect. In this case two bundles were sufficient
- Complete the bridge by veneering the pontic tooth with composite.
- Occlusal view of the ready bridge.
- A ready bridge from the side.
