Within the realm of prosthodontics, the challenge of replacing multiple missing teeth is a complex one, compounded by patient's preference for fixed prostheses over removable ones owing to their superior aesthetic and functional attributes. However, the feasibility of fixed prostheses diminishes in scenarios marked by compromised remaining dentition and defects in edentulous regions. To navigate these challenges effectively, the Andrew's bridge emerges as a compelling solution, integrating both fixed and removable components. This approach, particularly adept at addressing extensive alveolar bone defects, offers a synthesis of advantages including enhanced phonetics, hygiene, aesthetics and function. This article details a case report that outlines the digital fabrication process of an Andrews Bridge used to treat a maxillary anterior ridge defect.
在口腔修复学领域,替换多颗缺失牙是一项复杂的挑战,由于固定修复体相较于可摘修复体具有更优的美学和功能特性,患者更倾向于选择固定修复体,这使得情况更加复杂。然而,在剩余牙列受损和无牙区存在缺损的情况下,固定修复体的可行性会降低。为了有效应对这些挑战,安德鲁桥作为一种引人注目的解决方案应运而生,它集成了固定和可摘组件。这种方法特别擅长处理广泛的牙槽骨缺损,具有多种优势,包括改善语音、卫生、美学和功能。本文详细介绍了一个病例报告,概述了用于治疗上颌前牙区牙槽嵴缺损的安德鲁桥的数字化制作过程。
