The patient, a middle-aged office worker, had a missing premolar for many years and finally decided to replace it with her bridge. Her supporting teeth have been previously crowned.
As she had several other teeth to crown and gaps to bridge, she opted for a PFM bridge which does not look as good as emax but suits her requirements.
A missing tooth. Very obvious when the patient smiled. We are surprised she put up with it for so long.
Here's the PFM bridge fitted in her mouth. We tried to match her crown on the other side. Her left central incisor will be corwned later.
A crown for the left central incisor and a new filling for the lateral will make her look much better.
It could have been better with emax or zirconia, but the patient is quite satisfied that her missing tooth is finally replaced.
