 | | Nowadays, bridges made only of metal are practically unacceptable. |  |
 | Complete gold bridge without covering |
| | | | | | |  Front view of three part metalic bridge, without covering.
 Lower view of the same bridge | False pieces are aesthetically more acceptable when they have a porcelain covering.
The covering is applied over a metallic crown in an individual way for each patient.
Porcelain is more compatible with tissue than synthetic material so does not cause allergic reactions.
The porcelain doesn´t stain, because it is more hardwearing.
The entire surface can be covered with porcelain.
This provides better aesthetic results as all surfaces of the tooth can be a natural colour. | | | | | | The most aesthetically perfect bridge is one which is made completely of porcelain.
Light which is reflected in false pieces actually penetrates as it does in a natural tooth.
In the inevitable event of the gums contracting, there are no black borders.
But: At the moment, the use of completely porcelain pieces is only recommended in the front teeth.
In the coming years materials will be developed which can be used in the lateral zones |
