Q
define bridge:
A
- It is a fixed dental prosthesis
- which replaces + restores function + esthetic of one or more missing natural teeth
- and can’t be removed from the mouth by the patient.
- It is primarily supported by natural teeth or root.
21
Q
list the components of a bridge:
A
- Abutment Tooth
- Retainer (Attachment), (Abutment Piece)
- Pontic
- Connector Joint
22
Q
Abutment Tooth def:
A
Is the natural tooth which supports and retains the bridge at one or both terminals.
23
Q
define Pier (Intermediate Abutment tooth)
A
Is an isolated abutment tooth where the anterior and posterior adjacent teeth to it are missing.
24
Q
Define Retainer (Attachment), (Abutment Piece):
A
Is a restoration rebuilding the prepared tooth and by means of which the pontics are anchored to the abutment teeth.
25
Define Pontic
(Dummy) is that part of the bridge which acts as the actual substitute for the lost tooth and is suspended between the retainers replacing the lost natural tooth functionally and esthetically.
26
Define Connector Joint:
Is that part of the bridge uniting the pontic (s) with retainer (s) joining the component parts of the bridge.
27
types of bridges according to retention:
- simple bridge
- compound bridge
28
types of bridges acc to site:

29
types of bridges acc to site
temporary bridge
30
list the simple bridges:

- Spring Cantilever Bridge
31
other names for the fixed fixed bridge?
Fixed Bridge
Rigid Bridge
Fixed Rigid Bridge
Stationary-Fixed Bridge
32
define the fixed fixed bridge
- Is a bridge where the abutment pieces and pontics are all soldered together
- the bridge is cemented at both ends to the abutment teeth.
33
other names for the fixed supported bridge
Fixed-Movable
Limited Stationary
Broken Stress Bridge
Semi- Rigid
Fixed-Semirigid Bridge
34
define the foxed supported bridge
- Is a bridge which is not actually joined to one of the terminal abutment teeth
- but Is connected to it by means of a non-rigid connector
- allowing some individual movement of the abutment tooth.
35
define Cantilever Bridge
- is a bridge where the pontic is fixed to and derives its support from one or double retainers at one end only while the other end is supported.
36
define Spring Cantilever Bridge:
- Is a cantilever bridge where the pontic is at the end of slightly resilient curved arm
- deriving its support from an abutment remote from the edentulous spaces.
37
define compound bridge
Is a combination of bridges composed of two or more of the simple types.
38
define complex bridge
Is a bridge that extends at one of its terminals beyond the canine.
39
list the types of ant bridges
a. Unilateral Bridge:
Is the two or three teeth anterior bridge which does not cross the median line.
b. Bilateral Bridge:
Is the three or four teeth bridge which involves teeth on both sides of the median line
40
Temporary Bridge:
- Is a bridge made and used temporarily for the protection of the prepared teeth
- and maintenance of the space till completion and cementation of the bridge.
