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:
“Home! Yes! she would see Trafalgar Square, again; and Nelson on his plinth; and Chelsea Bridge as it dissolved into the Thames at twilight ... and St. Paul’s, the single Amazon breast of her beloved native city.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
