    The taper of each preparation on the abutment teeth must be the same. This is known as parallelism among the abutments and allows the bridge to fit onto the abutment teeth. Adhesive bridges require minimal preparation. Master impressions: An accurate impression should be made of the prepared teeth, along with an impression of the opposing arch ...

    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

This inherent ...

    CAD-CAM (aka Computer Aided Design-Computer Aided Manufacture) is a fabrication method which aids the production of dental restorations e.g. crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays. It is possible for these indirect restorations to be provided in one visit. [25] This works by first taking an intra-oral scan to produce a 3D virtual impression.
