Ribbond single-visit bridges provide strength, durability, and immediate convenience. Ribbond bridges are cost effective and reliable.
Excellent for emergencies, implant temporization, congenitally missing laterals and patients who cannot afford conventional lab fabricated bridgework. Use natural tooth, denture tooth, or composite build-up.
If clearance permits, a bridge can be made without preparation of the abutments. If there is not adequate space, shallow preparations might be necessary.
The following shows the construction of a long-term bridge framework. For provisional bridges one layer of Ribbond can be used.
