[A conventional three-unit bridge in the esthetic area]. Swiss Dent J. 2020 May 11;130(5):397-406 Authors: Gollner M, Schömer S Abstract In the prosthetic treatment planning there is an important question either you will have an surgery procedure or you will solve the requirement with a conventional treatment. It requires the discussion with the patient of all different parameters like risk factors in the pink - and white esthetic, condition of the adjacent teeth, outcome, long-term stability, costs, etc. In consideration of all facts a decision must be made of which adequate therapy is feasible. In this case on request of the patient the missing right central incisor will be replaced with a new zirconia-layered ceramicbridge. The article describes the approach in detailed steps how to manage in an easy conservative way the pontic area and how to create an esthetic outcome. Therefore the author manufactured different kind of temporaries and reconfigure them. After the stabilization of the desired result the situation can be transferred in the definitive zirconia framework-design. Final it is the responsibility of the dental technician to get the right colour and more important the right shape of the teeth for an esthetic result. PMID: 32390410 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
