Fixed replacement of maxillary anterior teeth with an associated bony defect has challenged the restoring dentist with problems like weight of the prosthesis thereby leading to weakening of abutment teeth, difficulty in establishing smile line and mechanical stability. This article describes the management of a patient with such defect with a forgotten prosthesis - the Andrew bridge system, which has a fixed and a removable prosthetic component with retentive clips, which anchors on to a bar spanning the edentulous space. Andrew's bridge system has definite indications and offers immense advantages over the other prosthesis for rehabilitation of cases of such scenario. It addresses the problems aforementioned and provides the optimal retention, mechanical stability, esthetics and comfort to the patient.
上颌前牙固定修复伴有相关骨缺损给修复牙医带来了诸多问题，如修复体重量导致基牙受力减弱、难以确定微笑线以及机械稳定性问题。本文描述了一位使用被遗忘的修复体——安德鲁桥系统治疗此类缺损患者的情况，该系统有一个固定修复部件和一个带有固位夹的可摘修复部件，固位夹固定在横跨无牙间隙的杆上。安德鲁桥系统有明确的适应证，与其他用于此类情况修复的修复体相比具有巨大优势。它解决了上述问题，为患者提供了最佳的固位、机械稳定性、美观性和舒适度。
