Connect implants and natural teeth with bridge?
Last Updated: Mar 07, 2017
I have seen a number of cases where implants and natural teeth are connected by a bridge. I know traditionally this was not considered a viable long-term option. One of the problems noted in the past was that the natural abutment teeth intruded creating gaps at the crown margins. But with more and more cases like this being done, and apparently many surviving, what is the current thinking? Any contraindications? Any special or new techniques?
