Case Study: Replacing missing front teeth with Maryland bridges
The two lateral incisors were missing congenitally. The existing teeth showed no major restorations and the different colouration of the teeth did not bother the patient. As a result we decided to treat the gaps with minimally invasive full ceramic Maryland bridges.
Dentist:
Prof Dr Christian Mehl
Treatment undertaken:
After a slight preparation of the two central incisors palatally, an impression was taken and the gum slightly adjusted. After two weeks the final full ceramic single winged Maryland bridges were bonded to the central incisors.
