Abstract:
Recently, two alternatives to the etched metal, Maryland-type bridge have been proposed for anterior applications. These are the all-ceramic bridge and the composite resin framework, ceramic veneered pontic bridge. Both designs use acid-etched winged retainers for adhesion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the load transfer to abutment teeth by these two designs using photoelastic modeling.
