Exocad - Maryland Bridge (metal-free)

Visit our website for exocad courses: https://www.wixur.com/ It’s time to design metal-free wings to have maximum esthetics and the lowest levels of plaque accumulation. Special Thanks to CAD/CAM! In this video I designed a pre-molar to explain the procedure but better to avoid Maryland Bridge where the masticatory forces (forces while swallowing) are considerably high, like in case of back teeth. The advantageous of Maryland Bridge comparing to Traditional Bridges: The most important advantages are minimal preparation of abutment (conservative preparation) and esthetics. Lesser risk of sensitivity and pulp exposure while preparation. Margins of the wings are above the gingival (gums) level which helps in easy removal of the plaque and easier maintenance of hygiene. No anesthesia is required for the procedure. Reduced chair time. Economical: Lower costs as compared to traditional bridges, where three crowns are placed to replace one missing tooth.
