An Implant-supported bridge is a dental prosthesis supported by one or more implants replacing three or more teeth.
Implant-supported fixed partial denture or dental bridge as commonly known can be either screw retained or cemented. Screw-retained prosthesis allows for removal of the bridge if needed. Cemented bridge cannot be removed as it is on permanently.
Famous quotes containing the word bridge:
“I was at work that morning. Someone came riding like mad
Over the bridge and up the road—Farmer Rouf’s little lad.
Bareback he rode; he had no hat; he hardly stopped to say,
“Morgan’s men are coming, Frau, they’re galloping on this way.”
—Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)
