RESIN BONDED BRIDGE Meaning and
Definition
-
A resin bonded bridge, also known as a Maryland bridge or simply an adhesive bridge, is a dental prosthesis used to replace a missing tooth or a series of missing teeth. It is a non-invasive and minimally destructive option compared to traditional dental bridges or implants.
The bridge consists of a pontic, which is an artificial tooth that replaces the missing tooth, and two "wings" or metal frameworks on either side. The wings of the bridge are made of a thin metal framework, usually made from cobalt-chromium or titanium, which are attached to the inner surfaces of the neighboring teeth with a special dental adhesive.
The key feature of a resin bonded bridge is the adhesive used to bond the bridge to the adjacent teeth. Instead of conventional dental crowns or drilling into the neighboring teeth, this type of bridge relies on a strong dental adhesive, usually a resin cement, to attach the bridge in place. This minimizes the need for extensive tooth preparation and preserves the overall health of the natural teeth.
Resin bonded bridges are typically recommended for replacing missing front teeth or teeth that are not subjected to high biting forces. They provide a functional and aesthetic solution for patients with adequate adjacent teeth, good oral hygiene, and sufficient bone support. However, it is important to note that resin bonded bridges may not be as durable as traditional bridges or implants, and they may require periodic maintenance or replacement over time.
