Case Study: Maryland Bridge - Nov 21
The patient had a congenitally missing right lateral incisor which had been replaced with a non-noble alloy framework Maryland bridge. This bridge had discoloured the anchoring incisors and a misfitting veneer on the left lateral incisor combined with a gum recession. The patient wanted to have an even smile and have both teeth restored aesthetically.
Dentist:
Prof Dr Christian Mehl
Treatment undertaken:
We initially corrected the gum recession on the upper left lateral incisor with a connective tissue graft. After three month we prepared for the Maryland bridge and the new veneer, and fitted both of them two weeks later.
