Prosthodontic Rehabilitation of Maxillary Anterior Ridge Defect With Fixed - Removable Bridge System: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
It has been well documented that anterior ridge defects present in a patient are challenging to treat (especially aesthetically).To treat such defects when edentulous anterior portion of maxillary ridge has both inadequate height and width, the conventional options of fixed partial dentures or implant supported fixed partial dentures are not enough. In cases where replacement of teeth along with the supporting structures is necessary for aesthetics Andrew’s Bridge is an option. The Andrew’s bridge tends to be the best treatment plan for cleft palate patients with congenital or acquired ridge defect. This is designed to meet the requirements for esthetics, comfort,phonetics,oral hygiene and stress distribution to abutments and soft tissues.
