Bridges are the most conventional way of replacing
missing teeth with restorations that are not removable. If a tooth is
missing, the teeth adjacent to the space are prepared for crowns. A
multiple tooth restoration, called a fixed bridge, is then cemented to the
prepared teeth with the false tooth "bridging" the gap between the teeth.
For bridges to be a reasonable alternative for replacing teeth, the adjacent
teeth must have solid bone support to withstand the extra stress that they bear
on behalf of the missing tooth. Another alternative for replacing missing
teeth with a fixed restoration is DENTAL IMPLANTS.
