Fabrication of an anterior In-Ceram bridge. 1996

T C Hadgis

Although there have been only six years of clinical research and observation conducted on the In-Ceram bridge, this technique can be a viable treatment option of selected short-span anterior replacements. The esthetics as well as the biocompatibility results are excellent (Figure 9, Figure 10). In this case, something interesting happened. Previous to treatment the patient had a very difficult time smiling. Since the completion of this case, the patient smiles all the time because of the enhancement of her esthetics. She most definitely appears younger than her 81 years (Figure 11). She and her family are extremely pleased with the overall results.
