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
A Rochette bridge is a type of dental prosthesis popular in the 1970s, [citation needed] and described by Alain Rochette in 1973 [1] as a form of resin retained bridge that relied on countersunk holes perforating the metal abutment wing. These would be filled with composite cement on seating the restoration, providing macromechanical retention ...

Named for its jagged, toothy look, the project is expected to be among the more complex in the suite of Gateway projects.
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 ...
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.
Dental caries (cavities), described as "tooth decay", is an infectious disease which damages the structures of teeth. [43] The disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, and infection. Dental caries has a long history, with evidence showing the disease was present in the Bronze, Iron, and Middle ages but also prior to the neolithic period. [44]
