INITIAL SITUATION<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A 75-year-old male patient developed a problem with a tooth supported bridge for the upper right central and left central and lateral incisor teeth that had been in situ for more than twenty years. One of the supporting teeth had become loose and the referring dentist noticed the upper left abutment tooth was grossly carious and the three-unit bridge entirely supported by the upper right central incisor tooth.<\/p>\n

Radiographic examination shows the upper left lateral incisor tooth has decayed through and through and the upper right central incisor tooth is heavily root treated and filled.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The existing metal ceramic bridgework was thick and bulky, but the patient was used to it. The patient also didn\u2019t have any pain or discomfort yet from the slightly loose bridge or dental caries. The patient was most concerned the bridge would suddenly come out and would have a space.

TREATMENT PLANNING<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The patient understood that the upper left lateral tooth was beyond repair due to the depth of the tooth decay. We also discussed the upper right central tooth had a very poor long-term prognosis due to the extent and depth of the amalgam restorative core. The patient was aware that the bridge could fracture at any time, and he could be left with a large anterior space \u2013 so we planned an immediate acrylic partial denture for the short-term loss of the anterior bridge and teeth.<\/p>\n<\/div>
