The Bonded Single-Wing Zirconia Bridge
J. William Robbins, DDS, MA; Marcela G. Alvarez, DDS, MSD; and Hiro Tokutomi, CDT
This case report article discusses the advantages that single-wing zirconia bridges offer, particularly for younger patients, and explains the soft-tissue, pre-prosthetic, and prosthetic factors that should be considered to optimize the success of the bridge. The case study of a 13-year-old girl with congenitally missing teeth Nos. 7 and 10 illustrates techniques for the placement of a bonded single-wing bridge that can deliver outcomes with excellent esthetics.
