Summary

This course will be a hands-on workshop for fabricating
^#9-11 three unit bridge with the use of Zirconia frame. Centrals, laterals and canines constitute large portion of a smile, which can affect the entire facial expression dramatically both positively and negatively. Therefore, numerous factors need careful consideration in the treatment process of these areas. For example, unlike a single crown restoration, a bridge requires finer attention in the balance of esthetics and mechanical function. This workshop will allow discussion time with the audience to answer any questions and explain procedural steps in detail.
