Conventional fixed bridge is a high strength metal, ceramic or ceramic fused to metal restoration made in the dental laboratory that is used to replace a missing tooth with an artificial tooth “pontic” that is connected to the adjacent prepared teeth via crown retainers.
For teeth that have been severely weakened, but yet to be rendered unrestorable by dental decay, repeated tooth fillings (restorations), tooth wear and traumatic fracture, crown and bridgework may serve as suitable treatment options.
