Abstract
With the ever-increasing amount of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis (19%-65%), dentists are changing their treatment planning options and looking to save more Endo and perio-involved teeth and use them as stand-alone teeth or as bridge abutments. Understanding Bridge Design is therefore essential in modern dentistry.
This course will cover bridge design in the theory session covering success rates, stress breakers, abutment choice, and how it improves success rate. Different types of design such as fixed, adhesive, cantilever, coping bridges and Lindhe/Nyman bridges will be taught with hands-on practicals on phantom heads.
