A three unit porcelain fused to metal bridge (PFM) made by a dental technician A semi-precision attachment between teeth #3 and #4, with the mortise on #4. Note the lingual buttons extending, in the photo, upward on #2 (on the left) and downward on #4.
A resin-retained bridge requires a very specific set of design principles. The following should be followed when designing the bridge: [3] Design should be kept as simple as possible; Should cover as much of the abutment tooth or teeth as possible; Be rigid; Permit the control of the occlusal contacts
The use of a post and core does not strengthen the tooth prior to restoration with a crown; [9] rather, it may contribute to the weakening of the tooth structure, as the forces placed upon the future prosthetic crown and core are now transmitted along virtually the entire length of the brittle, endodontically treated tooth. This inherent ...

Crown-to-root-ratio is the ratio of the length of the part of a tooth that appears above the alveolar bone versus what lies below it. [1] It is an important consideration in the diagnosis, treatment planning and restoration of teeth, one that hopefully guides the plan of treatment to the proper end result.
The standard also encompasses the structural design of bridge foundations [4] as well as the design and requirements of bridge bearings for both ordinary and moving bridges. [6] [7] In 2010, BS 5400 was superseded by the Structural Eurocodes for the design of new bridges. However, BS 5400 still serves as the foundation for assessment standards ...
In dentistry, SMK, short for System kompozytowy most (in Polish) ("Composite Bridge System"), is an adhesive restorative prosthodontic technique, developed in Poland during the 1990s. Using the SMK method, a prosthetic tooth is constructed and fitted without damage to the neighbouring teeth.
In dentistry, Ante's law is a postulate about crown-to-root ratio put forth by Irwin H. Ante [1] in a thesis paper he wrote in 1926. [2]Ante's law states that "the total periodontal membrane area of the abutment teeth must equal or exceed that of the teeth to be replaced."
