RESTORATIONS-Implant retained bridge
An implant retained bridge is available as cemented or screw retained. For screw retained bridges a custom made special tray with perforations for screws and adequate room for the transfer copings is made. It is important that the impression material used should be capable of picking up the transfer copings.
When the gingival soft tissue mask and the impression are cast, a planning kit is used to select the most suitable abutments at the laboratory. There are several abutment choices available for highly technical and difficult cases.
The metal framework is then constructed in your choice of metal alloy to exacting standards in the same way as a conventional wax-up.
The porcelain work is completed using the diagnostic wax-up made at the beginning of the case treatment as a guide.
