Maryland Bridge: An Interim Prosthesis for Tooth Replacement in Adolescents
نویسندگان
چکیده
A space in the anterior region of the dental arch of a youngster, either due to trauma or a congenitally missing tooth, can not only lead to psychological trauma but also create a functional dilemma for the dentist, as the usual treatment options of implant, removable partial denture and fixed partial denture available for adults, are often inapplicable or inconvenient for an adolescent. In such a situation, a resin-bonded fixed partial denture (RBFPD), such as Maryland Bridge fulfills all the requirements of an ideal interim solution till growth completion is achieved and a more permanent tooth replacement option can be explored.

UNLABELLED Numerous bonded bridge designs have been advocated over the years for the temporary or permanent replacement of missing teeth. Both metal and all-porcelain designs of bonded bridges have been advocated, with varying degrees of success. However, all of these designs involve some degree of tooth preparation, making them irreversible in nature. The Carolina bridge, a novel all-porcelain...

This clinical report describes a treatment option for replacement of a missing mandibular anterior tooth using InCeram resin bonded fixed partial denture (RBFPD). The conventional approach for replacing mandibular incisors dictates the placement of either a conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) bridge, Maryland bridge, or fiber-reinforced composite veneer bridge and several appearance-rel...
متن کاملAnterior fiber-reinforced composite resin bridge: a case report.
A variety of therapeutic modalities, from implants to conventional Maryland bridges, can be used for the replacement of a traumatically missing anterior tooth. The reinforcement of composite resins by fibers improves their fracture toughness and resistance. Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) bridges can be a good alternative to conventional prosthetic techniques. The purpose of this article was t...
